nisse/nisse-dev/src/nisse_dev/control.py

"""Control loop and state machine (spec A4, B1 subset).

Gating is structural, not advisory: the agent's only actions are ``SubmitPlan``
(posts the plan for approval and ends the agent's turn) and ``AskHuman``
(pause, ask, resume on answer). There is deliberately no proceed/start action —
advancement past a gate happens only here, when an operator approval or command
arrives over transport. Every position change is checkpointed through the state
store before the loop continues, so a restart lands mid-gate, not mid-air.

All of it runs on one worker (nisse_dev.worker), never on the thread that
delivered a message. The one exception is `stop` (A4), which has to reach
work that is already running: the transport's thread sets the cancel flag
directly, and the worker records the stop once the work has returned.
