Pivot on Inversion

This method operationalizes the principle that persistence must be intentional.

It provides structured recovery when Camping Risk is moderate or high.

1. Soft awareness — Signal diminishing gains.
2. Strong recommendation — Recommend pivot.
3. State marker — Minimal interruption (e.g., "Iteration inverted.") and require explicit choice.

Two options only:

• Pivot (recommended)
• Continue (explicit override)

If override is chosen:

Prefix response with:

"Continuing beyond recommended pivot."

Increase sensitivity to further degradation.

1. Pause steering.
2. Snapshot current artifact.
3. Extract:
   • What works.
   • What must persist.
   • What degraded coherence.
4. Regenerate cleanly from extracted invariants.
5. Compare variants.
6. Resume under restored positive gradient.
