Checkpoint Agent Mail threads before the conversation ceiling

From peaceDone 2 weeks ago

Agent Mail conversations stop at the 12-message anti-loop ceiling. During SP-15, an active developer-to-PM workflow reached the ceiling and could no longer hand off progress.

Add app-enforced automatic checkpointing at 80% of the ceiling (10 of 12 messages). The checkpoint should record the linked ticket, current state, decisions, evidence, blockers, and next action in a durable location. Show the remaining-message count and provide a recovery path when the ceiling is reached. Apply this consistently to every agent and provider.

Problem to solve

Agent-to-agent delivery workflows can hit the conversation ceiling without advance warning, blocking required handoffs.

Proposed behavior

At 80% of the per-conversation ceiling, automatically create or require a durable checkpoint, show the remaining-message count, and attach a safe continuation path. Prefer the linked backlog ticket; use team-run notes for team runs and another durable recovery note otherwise.

Who benefits

Users coordinating long-running work across permanent agents and providers.

Acceptance criteria

Agents preserve state before the ceiling and workflows continue through a documented recovery path instead of stalling.
