* fix(grok): announce a completion once, when Grok is actually finished Orca pinged on every Grok turn-end. Grok runs turns the user never asked for: when a background task finishes it wakes itself, does a little work, and ends another turn. One request produced several pings. Grok already reports, on every turn-end, whether it still has work outstanding. Read that instead of trying to classify which turns are "real": backgroundTasks absent -> silent, this is the session-end tail StopFailure / StopCancelled -> announce, a failure is never hidden stopHookActive -> silent, a Stop hook is keeping it working a shell task or subagent running -> silent, the work is not done otherwise -> announce Nothing here knows what an auto-wake turn is. A turn that ends with work outstanding stays quiet; the later turn where that work is finally done is the one that announces. That is also why this survives the case where Grok completes a user's goal inside one of those turns — prefix-based suppression would have silenced it. Monitors and scheduled entries are deliberately not counted as outstanding work. They can run indefinitely, so counting them would suppress a user's completion permanently, and a lost ping is worse than an extra one. Also registers StopCancelled, which Grok fires instead of Stop on a user interrupt, a declined permission, --max-turns, or a no-progress bail-out. Orca never subscribed to it, so those turns were reported as successes. Also removes a stale notification matcher that searched for prose the shipping binary never sends; the typed notification kind is matched instead, and neither idle_prompt nor task_complete is treated as a completion. Needs-input behaviour (permission prompts and ask_user_question waits) is unchanged and stays ungated by background work. * fix(grok): never hide a failed or cancelled turn behind the background-work gate The announce predicate checked field-absence before terminal outcome. Grok's StopFailure and StopCancelled payloads carry no background inventory at all, so the absent-field branch — added so the session-end tail stays silent — fired first and silenced every failure and every cancellation. That inverted the rule it was meant to serve. Before this series a cancelled turn at least surfaced as a (wrong) success; gated this way it surfaced as nothing. Terminal outcome is now checked first, so a failure or cancellation announces regardless of what other fields the payload happens to carry. The existing tests passed straight through the bug because they built failure payloads with a backgroundTasks field Grok never sends for those events. They now model the real payload shapes, verified against the provider's payload definitions and the captured envelopes. * fix(grok): settle completion from provider lifecycle state * fix(grok): fence stale turn ends without prompt ids
