Two causes of the paired room "keeps stopping" symptom:
- Reviewer approvals worded as "PROCEED" were parsed as 'continue'
(a change request), causing an owner TASK_DONE <-> reviewer PROCEED
ping-pong until the deadlock cap. parseReviewerVerdict() now treats a
leading PROCEED as approval so the turn finalizes after one round.
- When the Codex reviewer was unavailable, the owner's answer was held
for review and the user saw nothing. Now the held owner answer is
emitted with a "review skipped" notice on reviewer_codex_unavailable.
Verified: tsc --noEmit clean; 27 related vitest tests pass.
