wait-what is an explicitly invoked repair command for a response that did not land. It asks the agent to re-pitch the previous message with enough missing context, ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, and the project's ubiquitous language from CONTEXT.md (following CONTEXT-MAP.md when the repository has multiple contexts).

It does not change the underlying task or start a new investigation. Use it when the content may be correct but assumes too much context, uses the wrong vocabulary, or is harder to parse than necessary. Because it has disable-model-invocation: true, the user decides when a re-pitch is needed.
