A caller gave their insurance; AVA replied with a bare acknowledgment ("staff
will verify your coverage") and stopped, with no follow-up question. Both sides
then waited -> dead air (pipeline idle, no GPU/LLM activity, matching flat
memory/wattage). Caller had to break the silence with "what questions do you
have?". Root cause: the one-sentence brevity rule made AVA end a booking turn on
a dead-end statement.
Fix: prompt now requires, until the booking is complete, that every turn end
with the next question — acknowledgment + next question in the same turn (e.g.
insurance ack -> immediately ask day/time). Verified 4/4. Documented in CLAUDE.md.
