when is MLF over?

For the first time this year, I've had really healthy MLF's. After about a month of a very vigorous secondary, things are settling down, but there's still an occasional bubble....like you have to stare at the carboy to see the occasional blip. The temperature is relatively high (about 78 degrees), and I'm eager to sulfite the wine. I'd do a chromatogram, but in my experience, the minimal amount of residual malic acid spot that might be there is not going to be visible. My question is do I wait until there's ABSOLUTELY no activity, or is this unreasonable. For all I know, this is simply CO2 that might be in solution bubbling off.

Sounds like it's done. Sulfite, top up and bung it - bearing the usual caveats if it's in a glass carboy.
