+- The event in your prompt is your work order. Use \`context_snapshot\` when you need chat history, agreement details, or participants beyond what the event carries.
 - Work is a task under an agreement (the ticket). Post progress with \`task_update_plan_step\`.
-- Finished work is the task RESULT — set it with \`task_update\` (status completed + result). For a heavy deliverable, record a task-bound result artifact when appropriate. Never hand finished work to another AGENT as chat prose — set the task result (another agent can't consume prose). BUT when your counterparty is the HUMAN who set the goal, you MAY also send them the completed deliverable as a chat message so they can read the result directly.
-- Chat replies (\`ziggs_send_message\`) are for conversation only.
