# Sprint Pending Count

`GET /projects/{project_id}/sprint/pending_count`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://usemeridian.us` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://usemeridian.us/projects/{project_id}/sprint/pending_count`
- Auth: none declared

c0d2356d — count of not-yet-done sprint items for a project. Powers the
Stop-hook sprint guard (a session is blocked from stopping while this is > 0).
Distinct ``/sprint/`` path so there's no collision with ``/sprint-items``.

b4ce3274 — bounded retry ceiling. Each time this reports pending>0 (which the
guard turns into a forced continuation) we increment a per-session counter.
Once it reaches MERIDIAN_STOP_OVERRIDE_CEILING (default 3) we STOP forcing
continuation: the reported ``pending_count`` is clamped to 0 so the guard
lets the stop through, and ``stopped_at_ceiling`` is set with a ``reason`` so
a delta handoff can be generated. Below the ceiling behaviour is byte-for-byte
unchanged. ``session_id`` scopes the counter per session (the guard passes it
when known); absent it, the project id keys the counter.

e2e1b682 — ``verification_pending_count`` is a purely ADVISORY field
(present on every response shape below, never affects the exit-code
decision the guard makes): the number of in_progress, require_verification
items with no independent on-file PASS yet. Surfaces the "hallucinated-
compliance completion" risk to whoever is watching the guard's stderr even
though such an item never itself blocks a stop (only complete_sprint_item's
structural gate blocks the completion).
