## Story 002: Take a timed break between sessions

**Persona:** Priya, 28, a writer and researcher who uses the Pomodoro method deliberately — she values the rhythm of work and rest equally.

**Situation:**

A session just ended. Priya got the notification. Now she's being asked to take a break, but she's in the middle of a thought. She needs clarity on what 'break' means and whether she can skip it.

**Need:**

As Priya, I want a clear 5-minute break timer after each session, with the option to skip or extend it, so that I can honor the rhythm of my work without being forced into rest I don't need right now.

**Acceptance:**
- After session completion, the app shows a break timer set to 5 minutes
- Priya can tap 'skip break' to immediately start the next session
- Priya can tap 'add 5 minutes' to extend the break
- The break timer counts down visibly
- Skipping the break is recorded (so Priya can see her actual rhythm, not just the Pomodoro ideal)

**Tier:** core

**Confusion-flags:**
- Does the break timer fire a notification too, or is it just a visual countdown? If Priya leaves the app, does she miss the break reminder?
- The directive says 'take a 5-minute break' but doesn't say what happens if she ignores it. Is the break optional by design or mandatory?
