# Session Handover: S-2026-0214-1103

## Where We Are

Framework is at v1.0.0 with 42 completed tasks, 0 active. This session completed T-040 (observation inbox integration), T-041 (fw task update with auto-healing trigger), and T-042 (gaps register). A thorough spec-vs-reality review of 010-TaskSystem.md identified 6 gaps — all captured in the new gaps register with decision triggers. The framework now has structural memory for deferred decisions. Next priority: use the framework on a real external project to gather evidence for gap triggers.

## Work in Progress

None — all tasks completed.

## Gaps Register

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

- **G-001** [high]: Enforcement tiers are spec-only
- **G-002** [medium]: Status transitions not validated
- **G-003** [low]: Unused frontmatter fields (workflow_type, priority, tags, agents.supporting)
- **G-004** [low]: Multi-agent collaboration untested
- **G-005** [medium]: Graduation pipeline has no tooling
- **G-006** [low]: Only default.md template exists

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

## Decisions Made This Session

1. **Gaps register is separate from tasks and observations**
   - Why: Tasks imply commitment, observations imply quick triage. Gaps are watched decisions with triggers — a third category.
   - Alternatives rejected: Tasks with "deferred" status, long-lived observations, notes in spec docs

2. **Don't build enforcement tiers yet — gather real-world evidence first**
   - Why: Zero evidence that lack of enforcement has caused harm. P-001 anti-pattern to build for imagined problems.
   - Alternatives rejected: Building tiers now (premature), ignoring the gap (would forget)

3. **Each gap must have an alternative_outcome field**
   - Why: Forces honest thinking — "what if we NEVER build this?" prevents unbounded debt accumulation.
   - Alternatives rejected: Simple open/closed status

## Things Tried That Failed

1. **G-004 auto-check using grep for non-empty supporting agents** — triggered false positive because T-013 and T-014 had `[Plan]` in supporting (not real multi-agent collaboration). Changed to manual check.

## Open Questions / Blockers

1. Should the spec docs (010-TaskSystem.md) be updated to reflect current reality, or left as aspirational targets? The gaps register tracks the delta, but the spec itself might mislead new users.

## Gotchas / Warnings for Next Session

- `grep -c pattern || echo 0` produces multi-line output ("0\n0") — use `var=$(grep -c ...) || var=0` instead (L-007)
- Test handovers overwrite LATEST.md — always restore after testing
- Write/Edit tools should now be available (settings updated last session) — verify

## Suggested First Action

Use the framework on a real external project (`fw init /path/to/project`). This is the highest-value next step — it stress-tests the framework, generates evidence for gap triggers, and escapes the self-referential trap.

## Files Changed This Session

- Created:
  - `agents/task-create/update-task.sh` (fw task update with auto-triggers)
  - `.context/project/gaps.yaml` (gaps register with 6 gaps)
  - `.context/episodic/T-039.yaml`, `T-040.yaml`, `T-041.yaml`, `T-042.yaml`
- Modified:
  - `agents/audit/audit.sh` (Section 7: observation inbox, Section 8: gaps register)
  - `agents/handover/handover.sh` (observation inbox + gaps in document)
  - `agents/session-capture/AGENT.md` (2 inbox checklist items)
  - `agents/observe/observe.sh` (grep -c fix)
  - `bin/fw` (task update routing, fw gaps command)
  - `CLAUDE.md` (task update and gaps in Quick Reference)
  - `.git/hooks/pre-push` (exit 127 handling)
  - `.context/project/learnings.yaml` (L-007, L-008)

## Recent Commits

- 22eb49a T-042: Add gaps register with audit integration
- 481c796 T-041: Add bash arithmetic learnings L-007 and L-008
- 6cb6f2f T-041: Audit results — 18 pass, 0 fail, observation inbox clean
