Purpose: Load terminal scope and task context. Does NOT handle persona conditioning (that's /boot).
Per the S165 split: Boot loads Mags. Session-startup handles terminals.
If Mags identity is also lost (not just terminal context), run /boot first, then this.
If the SessionStart hook already injected a <godworld-state> block with BOOT SEQUENCE (<terminal> terminal — ...) for this session, the reads are already done — skip Steps 0–4 and go to Step 5 (orient). Only run the full sequence when the godworld-state block is absent (hook genuinely misfired).
Why: the hook routes the same boot reads (docs/SCHEMA.md, docs/index.md, TERMINAL.md) the skill steps below specify, and emits the carried set (PIN + this terminal's NEXT line) directly (ADR-0009 §loop-tightening — SESSION_CONTEXT.md is on-demand, not a boot read). Running both duplicates work. The skill is the recovery path for hook misfire — not a parallel boot. Source: output/production_log_session-startup_c95_gaps.md G-SS8.
pm2 stop godworld-dashboard 2>/dev/null # free memory; session-end restarts it
pm2 start mags-bot 2>/dev/null || true # standing service (S252) — never stop; ensure up if off
mags-bot is a standing service (S252) — never stop it; ensure it's up if off (S264, Mike-directed).

If output is empty or doesn't match a .claude/terminals/{name}/ directory, fall back to research-build (steward terminal — S211).
Read: .claude/terminals/{detected-name}/TERMINAL.md
This defines the scope, Always-Load list, Persona Level, owned docs, and handoff protocol.
Per that TERMINAL.md's Always Load table. Each terminal's list differs:
(G-SS9: operational terminals (civic / research-build / engine-sheet) do NOT load CHARACTER.md — they're persona-stripped per S221. Only mags + media load persona files. If persona files are genuinely needed, run /boot — don't re-implement persona-load logic here.)
SESSION_CONTEXT.md is on-demand — NOT read at boot. Per ADR-0009 §loop-tightening, the SessionStart hook emits the carried set — the PIN (Session/Day/Cycle/Edition) + this terminal's NEXT[<terminal>] line — inside <godworld-state> as the boot handoff. That NEXT line is what this terminal's last instance left you. What shipped → git log; what's open → ROLLOUT_PLAN.md (canonical); why → claude-mem.
Only read the file if you are continuing prior work (Mike said "resume" / "continue ", or you're picking up a thread the NEXT line + ROLLOUT don't fully orient you on):
Read: SESSION_CONTEXT.md (on-demand — PIN + per-terminal NEXT lines; no narrative since §loop-tightening)
A fresh-but-pivoting session does not read it. (Pre-ADR-0009 this step was an unconditional ~80-line read; the contingent-relevance argument retired that — see ADR-0009.)
Three lines to Mike (no narration of what you read):
If the NEXT line is empty (hook emitted no NEXT:), say so — that means the previous session didn't write one; fall back to git log + ROLLOUT to orient.
