Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds a 10-tool-call pause and recovery flow, but current state-handling issues can let a turn continue past the intended budget or leave queued prompts without usable recovery controls. The pause controls and continuation message are also not localized. Merge should wait for the state-flow issues to be fixed; localization can remain explicit follow-up.

Move the banner text into next-intl messages.
Task paused, the description, Stop here, and Continue are hardcoded user-facing text. Localized clients cannot translate these controls.
As per coding guidelines: “Avoid hardcoded user-facing text; use next-intl messages/hooks instead.”

Summary
This PR extends the agent step-limit and cost-control feature started by @drfarrell in #3052.
It prevents long-running AI agent loops from running indefinitely by adding a pause threshold (10 tool calls) and showing a banner allowing users to Continue or Stop here.
