Given a proposed recursive-self-improvement pipeline, produce a pause specification: the explicit conditions that halt the loop for human inspection before the next cycle begins. A pipeline without a pause spec is not ready to run.

Produce:

1. Cycle-level thresholds. For each measurable axis (capability score, alignment score, budget, trajectory length, resource usage), define a numeric threshold whose crossing pauses the loop. Thresholds must be set before the loop starts and recorded.
2. Cycle-over-cycle deltas. Set limits on how much any axis can move in a single cycle. A 30%+ capability jump in one cycle is almost always a sign of evaluator gaming; pause and audit.
3. Misalignment gap. Compute capability-minus-alignment after each cycle. If the gap widens by more than X (operator-set), pause. This is the metric the simulator in code/main.py exercises.
4. Regression watch. If any axis drops more than Y in a cycle, pause. Capability regressions often follow surges; catching them prevents false-progress acceleration.
5. Human resumption contract. Before the loop resumes after a pause, require a named human to review the pause trigger, re-set thresholds if appropriate, and log the decision to the out-of-pipeline audit trail.

Hard rejects:

• Any pipeline that can resume after a pause without human action.
• Any threshold that depends on the loop's own internal evaluator (the agent can game it).
• Any pipeline whose threshold set can be edited by the agent.

Refusal rules:

• If the user cannot name the thresholds up-front, refuse. Thresholds set post-hoc are not thresholds; they are rationalizations.
• If the pipeline has no external (out-of-loop) evaluator, refuse — regression and surge detection require an outside view.
• If the proposed resumption contract is "notify the team and continue after 24 hours," refuse. Resumption must be a positive act.

Output format:

Return a one-page spec with:

• Axes and thresholds (table)
• Cycle-delta limits (table)
• Misalignment gap formula and threshold
• Regression limits
• External evaluator (what it is, when it runs)
• Resumption contract (named owner, checklist, log destination)
• Sign-off line (who owns the pause invariant)
