Agent should execute tasks end-to-end without stalling on optional prompts

Problem
In real work, users assign a task and expect the agent to continue autonomously to completion.
However, the current behavior often stalls on optional phrases like:
- "if you'd like"
- "let me know"
This creates a stop-and-wait workflow and breaks the expected autonomous execution model.
Expected behavior
- Action-first execution by default (analysis -> code changes -> verification -> delivery).
- Ask users only when truly blocked by missing required input or risky irreversible action.
- Avoid optional invitation tails that pause execution.
- Keep progressing until the task is objectively complete.
Why this matters
For modern agent workflows, users should be able to assign a task, leave for an hour, and come back to a completed result instead of a stalled suggestion.
Context
This issue is about default interaction behavior and completion semantics, not model capability limits.
