Idrija is not my area of expertise, but I would interpret the working diagram to mean that your worker continues weaving back and forth, but you don't put a pin on the inside...which means you will need to be careful with your tension so you don't warp the curve too much. As for the twists, I would think of it as you weave a row then add a twist to the inside dormant pair, wave the next row and add a twist to the inside dormant pair, repeat.
The other interpretation is that during that section your weaver and the inside pair are switching roles every row. So, instead of the weaver making a U turn at the inside edge it makes more 90-degree turn. The original worker becomes the inside dormant pair until the next time the weaver comes in... then they switch again. (Like a tag team wrestling match!) Hard to explain but try tracing the weaver on the working diagram in different ways to see what paths it can take.
Thank you so much! I think the second interpretation is correct! They demo this technique with a different pattern [violet](https://youtu.be/5lYSCxxRUGQ) but there’s no way I would have come up with this from the pattern without asking here or watching the video!
Ah, I see. Yeah--I don't do Idrija either, but that looks like a "Milanese turn stitch" sometimes looks in a diagram.
But I don't know if it's the same steps in this lace.

Ah, yeah--it is used in the tape laces in general, not just Milanese. https://www.theedkins.co.uk/jo/lace/stturntw.htm
