+### Stopping conditions
+
+* **convergence**: the (preconditioned) residual norm satisfies
+  ```
+  ‖r_k‖ ≤ atol + rtol * ‖r_0‖
+  ```
+  or when further decrease is limited by machine precision.
+  The residual norm is measured in the norm induced by the preconditioner `M`.
+
+* **trust-region boundary**: if `radius > 0` and the computed step would leave the trust region,
+  the iterate is moved to the boundary `‖x‖ = radius` and the method terminates.
+
+* **nonpositive curvature**: if nonpositive or near-zero curvature is detected along the current search direction:
+  * with `linesearch = false`, the method stops and reports an indefinite or inconsistent system;
+  * with `linesearch = true`, the method returns a suitable descent direction and terminates.
+  In the in-place variant [`cg!`](@ref), the corresponding direction is stored in `workspace.npc_dir`.
+
+* **maximum iterations**: the iteration count reaches `itmax` (or the default value `2n` when `itmax = 0`).
+
+* **time limit**: the elapsed wall-clock time exceeds `timemax` seconds.
+
+* **user callback**: the user-provided `callback` returns `true`.
+
+A descriptive termination message is stored in `stats.status`, and additional flags in `stats` further characterize the outcome.
