Use it to come back to something later: watch CI until it finishes, re-check a PR, follow up after a delay. Set the time with exactly one of in_seconds, in_minutes, or at (a local "HH:MM" today, or an ISO 8601 date-time). A time already past is refused; at most 24 hours ahead. To repeat, set repeat (at most ${MAX_FIRES} fires in total) and every_minutes (at least ${MIN_EVERY_MINUTES}).
+Or fire on an event instead, so you can start something long, end your turn, and be woken when it is done rather than blocking on it:
+- when_done: a shell command, run by bash -c in the current directory, with no stdin; the alarm fires when it exits and reports its exit code. Its stdout and stderr go to a log file the notice names. Turn any condition into a command that exits when it holds: \`gh run watch <id> --exit-status\`, \`sz-wait-for <file>\`, \`until curl -sf <url>; do sleep 30; done\`. Do not background it yourself.
+- when_exits: PIDs of processes already running, such as jobs started with & in bash (\`echo $!\`) or pi-subagent runs; the alarm fires once all have exited. It cannot see their exit status: say in the note where to find the results.
+With either, in_seconds, in_minutes or at is optional and sets a deadline (default 24 hours) at which the alarm fires anyway; a when_done command still running then is stopped. repeat does not apply.
+
Write the note for a stranger: by the time it fires, the context you have now may be gone. Say what to check, with its URL, ID or path; what done looks like (green, no new comments, a number to compare against); the constraints that apply; and that you are to report back rather than act beyond that. Example: "Check CI on PR org/repo#123, head abc1234: report whether it is green and list any new review comments. Do not post anything."
A fired alarm is framed as your own reminder, not the user's words, and grants no new permission: outward actions (posting, pushing, sending, deleting, buying) still need the user's approval.
