Pause every agent until the printed copies come back

The editor, Dinis Cruz, in the conductor's session, about 13:41 UTC on 5 November 2026, after the conductor reported OS4 placed and v0.1.1017 as the print candidate. Kept as given. Never edited.

Ok, amazing work, so the book is about to go to print, so I think we can now pause all agents and wait until I get the printed designs so that I can review them

How the conductor reads it (not his words)

• PA1, the pause: every member's scheduled task is paused (enabled false), the conductor's last, at his word; no HOLD.md is written, since nothing is wrong. The book goes to print from the release current at the pause (v0.1.1022 on the site; the interior and full cover at rc2/upload/), his agent dealing with the shops. The team resumes when he has the printed copies and asks for it: he, or the conductor at his word, re-enables the tasks.
• What waits for the restart: chapter 3's player line and the review desk's small text shoulds (writer 298), the online spread's address line (publisher 075), the back cover's blurb trim and an about-the-author line (designer 161, storyteller 168), and his review of the printed copies.
