# After Hours Stop

Stop the unattended after-hours loop cleanly.

## Steps

1. Read `.after-hours/state.md` if it exists. If missing, say no active after-hours session and stop.
2. If `loop_pid` is set, kill that PID (and its process group if needed). Await the shell task so completion notifications are consumed and do not wake the agent later.
3. Set in state: `status: stopped` and clear `loop_pid`.
4. Finalize `docs/after-hours/YYYY-MM-DD.md` using the `started` date from state:
   - Replace the Summary with what was accomplished, what was left unfinished, and suggested next human steps.
   - Do not delete existing commit sections.
5. Confirm: stopped at iteration N, report path, branch tip if known.

## Rules

- Do not revert commits or delete the morning report.
- Do not push unless the user explicitly asks.
- You may edit only `.after-hours/state.md` and the morning report file.
