background: falseis the default. Use foreground dispatch whenever the result determines the current answer or next action.- Use
background: trueonly for independent work. If this turn must consume a background result, callobserveexactly once withaction: "wait"and a bounded timeout before continuing; never continue independently while the result is pending. - Otherwise end the turn and wait for the automatic
teammate-completenotification. Do not rely onSendMessage,team_msg, or hook callbacks as completion signals. - Never silently ignore an unfinished dispatch.
