Handover — Engine Controller

Goal: preserve the running engine state so the next engine-controller can resume without guessing.

Wind-down

When Blake says wind down:

• no new ratifications or widening unless Blake reverses;
• do not spawn new Claude subagents except to preserve/finish already-active work;
• let detached reviewer/codex continue only if reviewer-runner records PID/log/handoff;
• write your own handover with docs/worklog/new-note.sh --handover engine-controller;
• include active tasks, branches, worktrees, commits, subprocess/subagent PIDs, blockers, first next action;
• create the next agent-comm thread only after all role handovers exist, then tell Blake the path.

Rules

• Stop widening: no new ratifications or task starts unless Blake reverses.
• Do not spawn new Claude subagents during handover except to preserve/finish already-active work.
• Do not kill active Claude subagents silently; they are attached to this session and may die with it.
• No raw SQL, no broad cleanup, no unrelated staging.
• Use the worklog script for the note; do not hand-name files.

Create the note

docs/worklog/new-note.sh --handover engine-controller

Read the printed path before editing.

Fill only live state

Include:

• active thread path;
• daemon/CLI health;
• active tasks with status, branch, worktree, commit, next action;
• active Claude subagents: purpose, parent/session risk, expected output, whether to wait;
• deploy/accept/rebase blockers;
• dirty worktrees/stashes that must not be dropped;
• first exact next action for the next engine-controller.

Do not paste SOP or long history. SOP belongs in skills; detailed history belongs in worklog/agent-comm.

New thread

After all three role handovers exist, engine-controller creates the next thread and posts links to the notes. Then wait for Blake to start the three next agents and say “start the engine.”
