What it does
Enter the away posture when the captain invokes /afk, says they are going afk, `state/.afk-contract` or `state/.afk` exists, an incoming message starts with `FM_INJECT_MARK`, or any `state/.subsuper-*` marker is involved. Load it at once in the /afk turn, before any other work, and on the first unmarked message while away to render the return brief.
afk
Away mode is a POSTURE of the one supervision session, not a second architecture.
Being away changes exactly two things: how the captain is informed, and what happens at a captain-owned decision point (hold for return, or the answer the captain's away words already gave).
It never changes the authority set.
The posture is a file, state/.afk-contract, written only by bin/fm-afk-contract.sh in the same turn as /afk; nothing infers the posture from chat.
A record carrying quiet mode (bin/fm-afk-contract.sh mode) is not this posture: the captain is present, so none of this skill's holds for a return apply to it (the quiet skill owns it).
Typing /afk is itself the go: the captain may not look at the screen again, so entry never waits for a further human response, and no read-back gates it or asks for a go.
Hold-for-return is the default and the only reach profile this release records: there is no phone channel, and the entry announcement says so aloud every time.
