+# PR #5266: fix(trajectory): preserve wrapped pickup next action
+
+## PR description
+
+## Summary
+- preserve continuation lines for top-level trajectory metadata fields such as Next concrete action
+- add focused readTrajectoryPackets coverage for wrapped next-action text

+- git diff --check
+
+## Local gap
+- bun run typecheck could not run in this isolated worktree because tsc is not installed locally (script exited 127).

+
+## Pull request overview
+
+This PR fixes trajectory metadata parsing in the Tier-1 autonomous trajectory pickup tool so that wrapped/continued lines for top-level fields (notably “Next concrete action”) are preserved instead of being dropped. This keeps multi-line next-action text intact when generating the execution prompt, and adds a focused regression test to lock the behavior in.
+
+**Changes:**
+- Extend field parsing to join “continuation” lines until a clear boundary (blank line, heading, bullet, table row, or next field-like line).
+- Update `firstField(...)` to use the continuation-aware field reader.
+- Add a filesystem-backed test that asserts `readTrajectoryPackets(...)` preserves wrapped next-action text.
