majordomo's step observer fires post-iteration, so the critic's activity clock
refreshes per-iteration, not mid-tool — a single long tool call won't refresh it
until it returns. Documented + the host-progress-bridge mitigation (mort's
pattern). A true pre-dispatch hook needs majordomo support (follow-up).
