Just the info I needed -- thanks!
Politeness to human opponents aside, it sounds like a safe policy is
to never pass if there are dead enemy stones on the board.

If you're asking about stone cleanup in the KGS tournaments, then
yes, there is a special phase. See Nick Wedd's site for full
details. Here's the basics:
1. Play normally until two passes
2. Respond to final_status_list dead
[done if opponent supports final_status_list dead and there is
agreement on dead stones]
3. Handle undo to resume game, or have an appropriate time buffer to
handle game replay.
4. Capture all dead stones, play continues until both bots pass
again (all stones marked alive. KGS will send kgs-genmove_cleanup
instead of genmove if supported)
Support for #2 is optional, but is strongly encouraged.

I realize that most games in the KGS computer tournaments end in
resignation, but just in case:
Is there a phase for removing dead stones (as in games with
humans), or are dead stones supposed to be captured (as in MC
playouts)?
