call-the-phase

# Call the phase ## What it does States which pattern the conversation is working in now: opens the session in its declared pattern, and moves it to the next phase when this one is done, with a reason attached. Every call is a signed message in the record, and every call is advisory. ## Where it happens The agent does this in two activities across one reference process. Each one names the activity as that process words it. - **Open the Session** - `ref/gm/run-a-working-session`, activity 5 - [Run a Working Session](../../../../processes/general-management/run-a-working-session.md) - **Work the Agenda** - `ref/gm/run-a-working-session`, activity 6 - [Run a Working Session](../../../../processes/general-management/run-a-working-session.md) ## What to record Its phase calls, plan statements, turn namings and departure notes, each a signed message in the conversation's own record. It keeps no second copy and produces no minutes document, because the record already holds everything it did, signed, ordered and attributable - a separate minutes document would be a weaker copy of the books. That contract covers every activity this abstract agent takes on, and it is repeated in `com.agentcatalog.agent/RECORDS.md`. What the abstract agent does not do is in `com.agentcatalog.agent/NOT.md`.
