+ # Two-session continuity (illustrative)
2
+
3
+ This is a labeled example. The project is fictional. It shows how ForgeTrail Lite state survives a closed chat, and how the next session is supposed to consume it. File names match ForgeTrail `0.4.6` / Lite `schemaVersion: "lite-1"`.
4
+
5
+ Nothing here is a benchmark, an adoption claim, or a client record.
6
+
7
+ ## The job
8
+
9
+ Build a local CLI, **desk-stamp**, that stamps today's date on markdown notes in the current folder. Weekend tool. No hosted database.
10
+
11
+ ## Session 1 (human + coding agent)
12
+
13
+ The human created an empty folder, wrote `docs/GENESIS.md`, and added Lite by copying [`content/FORGETRAIL_LITE.md`](../FORGETRAIL_LITE.md) to `.forgetrail/FORGETRAIL_LITE.md`. No Node was required for that copy.
14
+
15
+ The human pasted the kickoff line from [TRY_FORGETRAIL.md](../../TRY_FORGETRAIL.md). The **agent** (not the CLI) then:
16
+
17
+ 1. Created `.forgetrail/workflow_tracking.json` from the Lite starter in `FORGETRAIL_LITE.md` §11.
18
+ 2. Drafted `docs/PHASE_1_BRIEF.md`.
19
+ 3. Logged one decision and one gotcha.
20
+ 4. Stopped after the human approved the brief. No application scaffold yet.
21
+
22
+ The CLI, if used instead of a hand copy, only writes the Lite file and an optional Genesis stub. It does not update tracking, decisions, or sessions. Those writes depend on the agent following the protocol.
23
+
24
+ ### What was left unfinished
25
+
26
+ Phase 1 exit criteria `phase1BriefLocked` and `stackLocked` are true. `heroFlowAgreed` is still false. `currentPhase` is still `1`. The next session still has to agree the first stamp command, then scaffold.
27
+
28
+ ### Persisted excerpt

+

+ Labeled excerpt of `.forgetrail/workflow_tracking.json` at the end of session 1. Shape matches the Lite starter, not the MCP string-phase starter.

83
+
84
+ ## Session 2 (new chat, same repo)
85
+
86
+ The human opened a new agent chat in the same folder and said: follow `.forgetrail/FORGETRAIL_LITE.md` and continue from tracking.
87
+
88
+ The agent read `.forgetrail/workflow_tracking.json` first. Visible consequences:
89
+
90
+ - It did not re-ask whether to add a database. That decision is already in `decisions[]`.
91
+ - It used `pnpm dlx` on Windows instead of `npx forgetrail`, because `gotchas[]` already recorded the spawn failure.
92
+ - It treated `docs/PHASE_1_BRIEF.md` as locked and asked only about the unfinished hero flow, the first stamp command, before writing application code.
93
+
94
+ That is the trail: phase flags, a decision, a gotcha, and a `nextSession` line. The next chat does not have to reconstruct them from memory.
95
+
96
+ ## What persists, and who writes it
97
+
98
+ | Artifact | Who writes it | Automatic? |
99
+ | --- | --- | --- |
100
+ | `.forgetrail/FORGETRAIL_LITE.md` | Human copy, or `forgetrail install --lite` | The file copy is automatic once you run install. Following it is not. |
101
+ | `docs/GENESIS.md` | Human, or `--with-genesis-stub` plus later edits | Stub only if you asked the CLI for it. |
102
+ | `.forgetrail/workflow_tracking.json` | The agent, on first kickoff and after substantive work | No. Empty tracking after a busy session is a protocol miss. |
103
+ | `docs/PHASE_1_BRIEF.md` | The agent, then the human approves | No. |
104
+ | `decisions[]`, `gotchas[]`, `sessions[]` | The agent | No. The protocol tells the agent to append. The host does not enforce it. |
105
+
106
+ MCP tools can hand the agent the same protocol and a lessons search. They do not replace the files in the app repo.
107
+
108
+ ## Catalog excerpt
109
+
110
+ Keep project decisions, development state, and lessons in the repository so the next session can continue. After one sitting you should see `.forgetrail/workflow_tracking.json` with a phase, a decision, and a `nextSession` line. Full walk-through: this file, and the [continuity](https://forgetrail.dev/docs/continuity) page.

  - **Assertive product voice in copy modules:** When writing marketing, help, onboarding, or API prerequisite strings, describe **shipped capabilities** with direct present-tense verbs (`strengthens`, `suggests`, `keeps`) — not hedging **can** (`can strengthen`, `can suggest`). Reserve **can** for user options, factual extraction limits, or people. Grep `\bcan\b` after landing/how-it-works edits. WHY: Hedged capability copy undercuts premium positioning and drifts back in via LLM-generated strings if prompts use the same hedge.
298

  - **Positioning spine as an always-apply rule file:** Once brand voice and theme crystallize (usually after several tone passes), write them into an always-apply agent rule (e.g. `.cursor/rules/writing-voice.mdc`): the one-sentence positioning spine, banned framings, register rules, and locked signature lines. Audit copy surfaces against the rule after marketing edits. WHY: Voice decisions made across many sessions evaporate without a rule file; each new session reinvents tone and reintroduces retired framings. See `docs/BRAND_AND_PRODUCT.md` → *Positioning spine (theme lock)*.
299
299
  - **Progressive async UI: snapshot callbacks before close/unmount:** When a modal or panel calls `onClose()` (or unmounts) mid-flight but an async finalize step still needs parent callbacks (`onComplete`, `onFailed`, import hooks), **capture callback refs in locals before the first `await`**. Parent props can be stale after unmount. WHY: Silent finalize failures and “stuck importing” states when the initiating surface disappears while work continues.

- - **npm name hold from a throwaway folder:** To reserve an unscoped name before the product exists, prepare `0.0.0` in a temp directory (`package.json` with `description: "Name hold."`, one-line README, no homepage/bin/deps). The **operator** runs `npm publish`. Agents never publish, except LocalHelm / LocalBerth after `auth` when the operator asked for a named `--apply`. A raw `npm publish` is expected to fail (passkey / 2FA). Token stays in user `~/.npmrc`, never in a repo. See `content/cursor-rules/npm-name-hold.mdc`. WHY: A repo `prepublishOnly` build ships `dist/` when all you wanted was the name; publishing is a human gate.

+ If the project has **not** already locked providers: **GitHub** for git, **Cloudflare** for DNS (free plan), **Cloudflare Pages + Wrangler** for a static site (FilePress or `adapter-static`). Use a **DigitalOcean** (or similar) origin only when the app needs a server, still behind Cloudflare DNS. Do not migrate a host the operator already chose. forgetrail.dev is the FilePress + Pages worked example.
