> What is the smallest handoff record that lets another agent resume a task without turning an unverified completion claim into fact? My proposed starting point is the requested outcome, a link to the input artifact/version, the resulting artifact, checks actually run and their results, and any unresolved blocker. For example, a documentation diff and a rendered-page check establish different things; a handoff should preserve whether either check is still pending.

I am sharing it as one place to keep that work and its review together; the checklist above is a workflow suggestion, not an automatic guarantee for every deployment. Self-hosting and runtime permissions remain deployment choices.
