+# Safe Handoff Context Bundles Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use test-driven-development to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add explicit, bounded, secret-redacted file snapshots to durable handoff tasks without breaking existing logs or callers.
+
+**Architecture:** A focused `handoff-bundle` module validates and snapshots files before the task is appended. `handoff.ts` stores only a typed reference in JSONL, while the versioned bundle lives in `.handoff/bundles/` and is loaded for receiver display or direct inspection. Commander composes both operations and preserves the existing no-bundle path.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Node.js filesystem/crypto/path APIs, Commander, Zod, Vitest.
+
+## Global constraints
+
+- No new runtime dependencies.
+- Maximum 20 files, 32 KiB stored content per file, and 50 KiB total.
+- Never follow symlinks, leave the repository, read binary files, or bundle `.git/`/`.handoff/`.

+# Handoff Verification Evidence Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use test-driven-development to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Make handoff completion evidence-backed while keeping execution explicit, bounded, redacted, and shell-free.
+
+**Architecture:** Extend the JSONL message contract additively, then put command execution and state transitions in a dedicated verification module. The CLI validates option combinations and invokes verification only on an explicit completion command. Failed checks write a nonterminal status event, so the original task remains actionable.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Node.js child processes, Zod, Commander, Vitest.
+
+## Global constraints
+
+- No shell strings, automatic retries, provider turns, or new dependencies.
+- A stored command requires explicit `--run-verification` approval at completion.
+- Preserve legacy handoff behavior.
+- Bound and redact every persisted output.
+- Every behavior follows a red-green test cycle.
+
+### Task 1: Add typed verification and evidence fields
+
+**Files:** `src/core/delegation/handoff.ts`, `tests/handoff.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] Write a failing round-trip test for verification and evidence.
+- [ ] Add strict bounded optional schemas and types.
+- [ ] Render criteria and command argv in the task inbox.
+- [ ] Verify legacy logs still parse.
+
+### Task 2: Implement explicit completion verification
+
+**Files:** `src/core/delegation/handoff-verification.ts`,
+`tests/handoff-verification.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] Write a failing passing-command test with an injected runner.
+- [ ] Implement pass → `done` and fail → nonterminal `status` transitions.
+- [ ] Add red-green cases for manual evidence, missing evidence, nonzero exit,
+      timeout, spawn error, output truncation, and secret redaction.
+- [ ] Keep `markDone` compatible for tasks without criteria and make it refuse
+      to bypass criteria.
+
+### Task 3: Wire and document the CLI
+
+**Files:** `src/commands/catalog-workflows.ts`, `tests/cli-handoff.test.ts`,
+`README.md`, `docs/REFERENCE.md`, `docs/USER_TEST_GUIDE.md`,
+`skills/loadout-handoff/SKILL.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`
+
+- [ ] Test and add `--verify`, `--verify-command`, `--verify-timeout`, and
+      `--evidence`.
+- [ ] Validate incompatible combinations before writing a task.
+- [ ] Show pass/fail evidence in text and JSON output.
+- [ ] Document the exact trust boundary and lack of autonomous retries.
+
+### Task 4: Verify and commit
+
+- [ ] Run focused tests, formatting, lint, typecheck, `npm run verify:full`, and
+      a five-axis review.
+- [ ] Commit and push the isolated incremental change without publishing.

+# Pre-release Hardening Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Make the new handoff and coordination workflows secure, cross-platform, truthful, documented, and proven through a real Claude Code ↔ Codex exercise before publishing Loadout 0.10.0.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep the existing append-only handoff and coordination logs. Add validation and normalization at filesystem and CLI boundaries, make multi-write workflows preflighted and idempotent, and represent generated contracts as exact source declarations plus a source hash rather than placeholder stubs. Preserve dry-run defaults and require explicit approval for writes or provider turns.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript ESM, Commander, Zod, Node.js standard library, Vitest, GitHub Actions.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- Node.js 20 or newer on Ubuntu and Windows.
+- No new runtime dependencies.
+- No shell execution for handoff verification.
+- All mutating convenience commands remain preview-first.
+- Handoff and coordination logs remain append-only.
+- Do not publish npm, create a tag, or create a GitHub release until every gate is green.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Secure and complete handoff templates
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `src/core/delegation/handoff-templates.ts`
+- Modify: `src/commands/catalog-workflows.ts`
+- Test: `tests/handoff-templates.test.ts`
+- Test: `tests/cli-handoff.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+
+- Produces: validated template names for every read/write/delete operation.
+- Produces: positional task words bound to `{{files}}` or `{{description}}`, with template bundle paths forwarded to handoff bundle creation.
+
+- [ ] Add a regression test proving `deleteTemplate(root, "../../package")` rejects and preserves `package.json`.
+- [ ] Run `npm test -- tests/handoff-templates.test.ts` and confirm that regression fails because deletion escapes the template directory.
+- [ ] Validate names through the existing Zod name schema before constructing paths.
+- [ ] Add CLI tests proving `--template write-tests src/auth.ts` sends `Write tests for src/auth.ts` and that template bundle paths reach the stored bundle reference.
+- [ ] Run the CLI tests and confirm they fail with the current task override and unused `bundleGlobs` behavior.
+- [ ] Bind positional words to the template's first recognized placeholder and merge explicit `--bundle` values ahead of template defaults.
+- [ ] Run both focused files and confirm they pass.
+
+### Task 2: Restore Windows portability
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `src/core/coordination/auto-contract.ts`
+- Modify: `tests/auto-contract.test.ts`
+- Modify: `tests/handoff-verification.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+
+- Produces: project-relative paths normalized to `/` at the scanner boundary.
+- Produces: cwd verification that compares filesystem identity rather than long-path spelling.
+
+- [ ] Add tests for ownership and import resolution using normalized Windows-style paths.
+- [ ] Confirm the new test fails because `relative()` output is consumed without normalization.
+- [ ] Normalize scanned paths and scope inputs, deduplicate scoped results, and keep all resolved imports project-relative.
+- [ ] Replace the short-path string equality assertion with a child-process filesystem identity check using a marker file in the project root.
+- [ ] Run focused tests locally, then push only after the complete suite passes so GitHub Windows CI can supply the authoritative Windows result.
+
+### Task 3: Publish exact contract candidates
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `src/core/coordination/auto-contract.ts`
+- Modify: `src/commands/coordinate.ts`
+- Test: `tests/auto-contract.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+
+- Produces: `ContractCandidate` with exact `suggestedBody`, `sourceHash`, and coverage state `uncovered | current | stale`.
+
+- [ ] Change tests to require exact exported declarations rather than `/* ... */` or `unknown` placeholders.
+- [ ] Confirm they fail against the regex stub generator.
+- [ ] Extract complete single-line declarations conservatively; mark unsupported multiline/runtime exports as manual rather than inventing a signature.
+- [ ] Hash the canonical source declaration set and embed the source path/hash in generated contract metadata.
+- [ ] Require `--publish --yes`; refuse candidates containing manual placeholders and report stale contracts rather than calling them covered.
+- [ ] Test exact, stale, manual, preview, and approved-publication paths.
+
+### Task 4: Make coordination setup reliable
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `src/core/coordination/quick-start.ts`
+- Modify: `src/commands/coordinate.ts`
+- Test: `tests/coordination-quick-start.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+
+- Produces: normalized, non-overlapping ownership assignments and a preflight result that never partially applies.
+
+- [ ] Add tests excluding generated directories, collapsing child paths beneath an assigned parent, rejecting empty agents/unknown split names, and refusing incomplete existing ownership with a clear preview.
+- [ ] Confirm the tests fail against the current directory splitter.
+- [ ] Normalize assignments, validate options, preflight all conflicts, and append claims only after every assignment is valid.
+- [ ] Run focused coordination tests.
+
+### Task 5: Repair Git-aware ownership semantics
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `src/core/coordination/git-ownership.ts`
+- Modify: `src/commands/coordinate.ts`
+- Test: `tests/git-ownership.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+
+- Consumes: explicit mappings shaped as `agent=Git Author`.
+- Produces: confidence calculated against all authors that touched a directory.
+
+- [ ] Add tests showing unselected human commits remain in the confidence denominator and an explicit agent-author mapping returns the agent identity.
+- [ ] Confirm both tests fail with author filtering.
+- [ ] Scan all authors, map configured authors to agents after counting, validate depth/threshold/max-commits, and keep dry-run output explicit.
+- [ ] Run focused ownership tests.
+
+### Task 6: Close the discussion-to-implementation loop
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `src/core/coordination/discussion-pipeline.ts`
+- Modify: `src/commands/coordination-discussions.ts`
+- Test: `tests/discussion-pipeline.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+
+- Produces: deterministic plan ID, handoff IDs, bundle paths, verification criteria, and an implementation event linking the discussion to created tasks.
+
+- [ ] Add tests for idempotent reruns, bundles, verification criteria, unassigned-path refusal, and no partial writes after failed preflight.
+- [ ] Confirm those tests fail against the current sequential sender.
+- [ ] Build the complete plan before writing, reject unresolved ownership in approved mode, reuse the safe bundle builder, attach verification criteria, and record created task IDs.
+- [ ] Make repeated execution return the existing recorded result rather than duplicate tasks.
+- [ ] Run focused pipeline and coordination tests.
+
+### Task 7: Avoid locking during verification processes
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `src/core/delegation/handoff-verification.ts`
+- Test: `tests/handoff-verification.test.ts`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+
+- Produces: optimistic completion flow: locked read → unlocked process → locked compare-and-append.
+
+- [ ] Add a test with a blocked verification runner proving another handoff can be sent while verification is running, plus a race test proving only one terminal completion wins.
+- [ ] Confirm the send test times out/fails while the current implementation holds the lock.
+- [ ] Snapshot the task verification definition under lock, run outside the lock, then reacquire and reject already-settled or changed tasks before appending evidence.
+- [ ] Run handoff concurrency and verification tests.
+
+### Task 8: Document, test as users, and release-gate
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `README.md`
+- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
+- Modify: `docs/REFERENCE.md`
+- Modify: `docs/LIVE_COLLABORATION.md`
+- Modify: `docs/USER_TEST_GUIDE.md`
+- Modify: `docs/FEATURE_TEST_MATRIX.md`
+- Modify: `skills/loadout-handoff/SKILL.md`
+- Modify: `tasks/plan.md`
+- Modify: `tasks/todo.md`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+
+- Produces: one beginner workflow covering setup → contract detection → discussion → bundled verified handoffs.
+
+- [ ] Document every new command, its preview/apply boundary, limitations, and exact examples.
+- [ ] Update the agent skill so Claude Code and Codex use the convenience commands safely.
+- [ ] Add documentation-claim tests for the workflow and update the release matrix.
+- [ ] Run a disposable repository flow covering templates, bundles, coordination setup, exact contracts, decision implementation, verification failure, retry, and completion.
+- [ ] Run an explicitly authorized bounded Claude Code ↔ Codex exercise and inspect its recorded transcript/task linkage without exposing private reasoning.
+- [ ] Run `npm run verify:full`, push the branch, and require green GitHub Actions on Ubuntu and Windows.
+- [ ] Review the entire diff across correctness, readability, architecture, security, and performance; leave publishing for a separate explicitly verified release action.

+# Public readiness implementation plan
+
+**Goal:** Correct the seven reproduced reliability defects, prove the supported user journeys, and prepare an accurate public-beta launch and user test guide.
+
+**Architecture:** Preserve the existing CLI/domain split. Fix state invariants at their owning boundaries: retention, locking, snapshots, handoff dispatch, contract extraction, and provider cancellation. Retain schema compatibility and keep all reproductions in disposable profiles.
+
+**Execution:** Use the dispatching-parallel-agents skill for disjoint snapshot, pipeline, and provider fixes; implement coordination storage and contract changes locally. Each implementation begins with a failing regression test, receives review, and is committed only after relevant verification. No public release, repository visibility change, or social posting is part of this preparation run.
+
+**Constraints:** Node >=20; retain Windows support; no paid provider runs; no new production dependencies unless necessary; do not touch existing untracked `.handoff` files; do not weaken coverage floors. Use the existing installed SDK's cancellation API.
+
+## Work packages
+
+- [ ] **Snapshot restoration** — `src/core/install/snapshot.ts`, `src/shared/types.ts`, and `tests/snapshot.test.ts`. Reproduce `expect((await stat(path)).mode & 0o777).toBe(0o600)` and executable/directory restoration failures. Store validated modes, restore explicitly, and compare modes in drift checks while tolerating legacy snapshots. Run `npx vitest run tests/snapshot.test.ts tests/transaction.test.ts` (select existing transaction test filename). Review and commit independently.
+- [ ] **Handoff dispatch** — `src/core/coordination/discussion-pipeline.ts`, delegation setup helpers, and `tests/discussion-pipeline.test.ts`. From an empty root, run a local fake discussion and assert applied handoffs are visible with both inbox instructions. Concurrently dispatch one plan and assert exactly one task per agent and stable returned IDs. Lock checking plus append, support partial failure/retry, keep preview read-only. Run focused handoff/pipeline/CLI suites. Review and commit independently.
+- [ ] **Provider cancellation** — Codex adapter/driver and tests. Use an abort-aware fake run; assert a requested deadline aborts the underlying operation, releases busy state, and permits a later turn. Cover start, resume/follow-up, explicit stop, and successful cleanup. Pass an AbortSignal through the installed SDK interface; never merely race and abandon a running turn. Run adapter/discussion/session suites. Review and commit independently.
+- [ ] **Exclusive crash recovery** — `src/core/coordination/lock.ts`, shared file locking as needed, and coordination concurrency tests. Reproduce competing acquisitions of an abandoned lock and duplicate sequence allocation. Serialize recovery and ensure replacement ownership cannot be deleted using stale evidence. Exercise independent processes, live-owner protection, timeout, cleanup, and legacy lock shape. Run lock and coordination invariant suites. Review and commit independently.
+- [ ] **Retention equivalence** — `src/core/coordination/retention.ts` and tests. Create claims, revisions, acknowledgements, unresolved tasks, decisions, and discussions; compact twice and assert preserved current state and revision continuity. Retain state-bearing events or an explicit replayable checkpoint; do not replace operational state with counts. Verify resolved tasks do not reappear and released ownership stays released. Run retention, replay, discussion, and coordinator suites. Review and commit independently.
+- [ ] **Conservative contracts** — `src/core/coordination/auto-contract.ts` and tests. Multiline types/constants and object return types must not be advertised as exact unless fully extracted; single alias and mixed imports must not silently lose symbols. Assert breaking declaration changes become stale or manual. Prefer bounded conservative extraction over unsafe publication. Run auto-contract and CLI coordination tests. Review and commit independently.
+- [ ] **Release journeys and docs** — extend `scripts/coordination-product-flow.mjs` to cover fresh discussion→implementation→verified completion, concurrent retries, and compaction state. Correct universal preview/rollback wording and catalog counts. Add changelog notes and a disposable user test guide with expected results and provider opt-in instructions. Research existing Claude/Codex coordination tools and draft X/LinkedIn posts with supported differentiation, avoiding first/only claims. Record primary-source links and limits.
+- [ ] **Final gate and review** — run `npm run verify:full`, inspect the packaged artifact, run relevant checks on available supported Node versions, and request an independent code review. Fix findings, rerun affected checks, and summarize exact evidence, remaining external validation, the branch, and how the user tests the candidate. Check the handoff inbox again.
