1. Open the documented public path for Login.gov: Help center documents account creation, MFA, and identity verification used by SAM.gov and other agencies; the sign-in itself is user-present.
2. Check the listed blockers and policy constraints before entering account, payment, booking, or cancellation state.
3. Stop before any irreversible or user-sensitive action and ask for explicit approval.

## Human Approval

Keep the user present for authentication. Do not request, store, or replay credentials or one-time codes.

## Do Not Cross

- Keep the user present for any login, identity verification, or payment step.
- Never handle a user's authenticators or verification codes autonomously.
- Provide informational workflow guidance only, not legal advice.

## Success Signals

- Relevant help article summarized
- MFA/verification requirements identified

## Blockers

- 2fa_user_present
- login_required

## Recommended Actions

- Keep the user present for any login, identity verification, or payment step. Keeps the agent inside documented, reversible, user-approved boundaries.
