What

What was already a rejected-switch telemetry path is now fed by a hook-style decision taken before the switch lands: anything other than proceed rejects it with an error, and a rejected system-prompt switch reports separately. Notices from the decision come back with a successful switch.

  • Always on this code path, not behind a flag.
