name	scbe-longform-work
description	Execute long-running implementation and research tasks with checkpointed handoffs, compact status artifacts, and deterministic resume points. Use when work spans many steps, multiple sessions, or multiple agents and requires durable continuity.

SCBE Longform Work

Use this workflow for deep tasks that must survive context limits and session boundaries.

Execution Pattern

1. Break the objective into phases with clear done criteria.
2. Keep one active phase at a time.
3. Emit compact checkpoint artifacts at phase boundaries.
4. Resume from checkpoint instead of re-deriving state.

Checkpoint Contract

1. Write current status to docs/map-room/session_handoff_latest.md.
2. Include objective, completed, in_progress, blocked, next_actions.
3. Include exact file paths changed and pending.
4. Include command history required for deterministic resume.

Reliability Rules

1. Prefer append-only operational logs.
2. Preserve evidence for major decisions.
3. Record assumptions and invalidation triggers.
4. Keep rollback path for each risky change.

Output Contract

1. phase_plan.md with execution stages.
2. session_handoff_latest.md updated at every checkpoint.
3. decision_log.jsonl for governance and tradeoff traceability.
