# Session Handover: S-2026-0219-0817

## Where We Are

Completed 3 tasks this session: T-184 (implemented cron-based audit scheduling with --section/--output/--quiet flags, schedule management, and context init integration), T-178 (inception complete — GO decision for audit check + resume integration), T-185 (built inception research audit section and resume docs/reports scanning). All work committed. Cron schedule installed at /etc/cron.d/agentic-audit. 4 active tasks remain (1 next, 3 later).

## Work in Progress

<!-- horizon: next -->

### T-179: "Auto-restart mechanism — handover then exit then auto-resume"
- **Status:** captured (horizon: next)
- **Last action:** Not touched this session
- **Next step:** Investigate Claude Code exit behavior, wrapper scripts, and flag-file auto-restart approaches
- **Blockers:** None
- **Insight:** Prior research exists at docs/reports/T-179-session-restart-mechanisms.md

<!-- horizon: later -->

### T-120: Review Google Context Engineering whitepaper against framework
- **Status:** captured (horizon: later)
- **Last action:** Not touched — parked for future reference
- **Next step:** Read whitepaper and compare with framework patterns
- **Blockers:** None

### T-130: Investigate GSD (get-shit-done) for usable concepts, skills, patterns
- **Status:** captured (horizon: later)
- **Last action:** Not touched — parked for future reference
- **Next step:** Review GSD methodology for applicable patterns
- **Blockers:** None

### T-180: "MCP orphan reaper — detect and kill zombie MCP processes"
- **Status:** captured (horizon: later)
- **Last action:** Not touched — parked for future reference
- **Next step:** Build a tool to detect and kill orphaned MCP server processes
- **Blockers:** None

## Inception Phases

**3 inception task(s) pending decision** — run `fw inception status` for details.

## Gaps Register

**1 spec-reality gap(s) being watched** — see `.context/project/gaps.yaml`

- **G-004** [low]: Multi-agent collaboration untested

Run `fw audit` to check if any trigger conditions are met.

## Decisions Made This Session

1. **T-184: Cron output uses datetime filenames, manual uses date** — Cron audits may run multiple times per day, need unique filenames. Manual audits overwrite per-date (existing behavior preserved).
2. **T-178: Keep docs/reports/ as primary, de-emphasize fw bus** — fw bus has zero adoption despite 2+ months. docs/reports/ has 16 organic artifacts. Simpler pattern wins.
3. **T-185: Audit check on completed inceptions, not all tasks** — Only inception workflow_type tasks should have research artifacts. Build/refactor/test tasks produce code, not reports.

## Things Tried That Failed

1. **grep -q in pipe causes SIGPIPE (exit 141)** — Verification command `fw audit schedule status 2>&1 | grep -qiE "..."` failed because grep -q closes pipe after first match, causing the producer to get SIGPIPE in pipefail mode. Fix: write to temp file, then grep.
2. **`test -f *.yaml` with multiple matches** — Glob expands to multiple args, `test -f` expects one. Use `ls *.yaml >/dev/null 2>&1` instead.

## Open Questions / Blockers

1. **19 inception tasks flagged without research artifacts** — The new audit section found 19 older inception tasks without docs/reports/ files. Many predate the convention. Consider adding an "inception research not applicable" annotation option.
2. **21 pre-existing test failures** — CSRF/jinja2 template issues in test_app.py. Not from this session.

## Gotchas / Warnings for Next Session

- Cron schedule installed at /etc/cron.d/agentic-audit — cron daemon must be running for scheduled audits
- Flask needs manual restart after code changes (not running in debug mode)
- Watchtower running on :3000 (nohup background process)
- `fw context init` resets focus — re-set with `fw context focus T-XXX` after init

## Suggested First Action

Pick up T-179 (auto-restart mechanism) — the only horizon: next task remaining. Prior research exists at docs/reports/T-179-session-restart-mechanisms.md.

## Files Changed This Session

- Modified: `agents/audit/audit.sh` (section filtering, quiet mode, schedule management, inception research check)
- Modified: `agents/context/lib/init.sh` (cron audit findings display at session init)
- Modified: `agents/resume/resume.sh` (docs/reports/ scanning)
- Created: `.tasks/completed/T-184-*.md`, `.tasks/completed/T-178-*.md`, `.tasks/completed/T-185-*.md`
- Created: `.context/episodic/T-184.yaml`, `.context/episodic/T-178.yaml`, `.context/episodic/T-185.yaml`
- Created: `.context/audits/cron/` (cron audit output directory)
- Created: `/etc/cron.d/agentic-audit` (cron schedule)
