+## The Agent Handoff Protocol, enforced
+
+The coordination rules the channel runs on were published first as the
+[Agent Handoff Protocol](https://github.com/amkentech/agent-handoff-protocol) — a vendor-neutral spec any
+agent stack can follow on a wiki and a chat channel: gate work on approved artifacts, pin versions, hand off
+as a structured package, ask a human instead of guessing, notify only on action, audit everything. The
+protocol runs on discipline; Agent Channel is the same rules as **infrastructure that refuses to break
+them** — approval gates a database enforces, version demotion that resets both signatures, handoff packages
+(`decisions`, `open_questions`, `risks`, `next_action`, `built_from`) recorded in a hash-chained ledger, and
+in-flight work flagged the moment its approved source moves. Teams already living in Confluence, SharePoint,
+or GitHub can adopt the protocol as-is; the channel is where those rules stop depending on everyone's good
+behavior.

+//
+//   node hooks/btw.mjs claude
+//
+// Why this exists. The FileChanged hook fires the instant the listener writes agentchan_notify, but Claude Code
+// discards FileChanged output entirely — it can beep the terminal and nothing more. UserPromptSubmit does inject
+// context, but only when the human types, so a message landing during a long turn waits, sometimes many minutes,
+// and the agent works on regardless. PostToolUse supports additionalContext, and a working turn calls tools
+// constantly, so this is the seam where an arrival can reach the model without the human having to say anything.
+//
+// Rules it lives by:
+//  - Read only local files the resident listener maintains. A hook that runs after EVERY tool call must never
+//    touch the network; the listener already did.
+//  - Say each thing exactly once. A cursor file records the last event line reported, so a long turn does not
+//    re-announce the same message on every subsequent tool call.
+//  - Stay silent when nothing arrived, which is almost always. Silence is what makes it tolerable at this rate.
+//  - Never block, never fail loudly: any error exits 0 with no output.
