## Escalation 001: main

**Decision Required:**

Thread main has reached the nudge-threshold deadlock. What provisional decision would let the team progress, or should the directive scope change?

**Agent Proposals:**
- **team**: Thread has been STUCK (budget exceeded: $3.04 > $3.00). Multiple agents have open expectations and the nudge ladder did not break the deadlock.
  The team's individual constitutional restraint is correct in isolation. The collective effect is that no one is willing to commit provisionally. Per dodo.md §VIII this is the framework's escalation point, not the Dodo's decision point.
- **dodo**: Surface the deadlock to human review.
  The Dodo's nudges did not produce a commitment. Further nudges would be repetition, not progress. A human reviewer can either name a provisional decision the team can adopt or change the directive scope so the team can make progress.

**Suggested Resolution:**

A provisional decision from a human reviewer is the next move. The team will adopt the decision and make subsequent revisions via the normal flow (concerns, reframes, follow-up tickets).

**Stakes:**

Without intervention the thread will remain stuck and the directive will not ship.

**Background:**
