What happened
After the merge was confirmed, the non-destructive closeout preview kept gathering fresh verification and worktree evidence. Repeated polls over roughly 40 seconds returned no output.
Why it is friction
The operator cannot tell whether the preview is still making progress, blocked, or hung, and has to keep polling without actionable feedback.
Repro
Run a safeword closeout preview after a merge that requires fresh verification/worktree evidence, then observe that the command can remain silent across repeated polls.
