+"""Session handoff strategies for context assembly.
+
+Resume-phase context processing: when resuming a session, process the parent's
+transcript artifacts to assemble a context document for the child session.
+
+Note: "handoff" here means resume-context assembly. The separate handoff agent
+(``handoff_agent.py``) is the Stop-time memory-doc updater -- different concept
+despite the shared name. See ``handoff_agent.py`` docstring for that one.
+
+Strategies:
+- minimal: Lineage pointer only (no transcript parsing)
+- structured: Conversation skeleton with truncated tool results
+- full: Complete parent transcript (with budget check)
+- ai-curated: LLM-selected highlights with intelligent summarization
+
+Output: ``<forge_root>/.forge/prev_sessions/<parent-name>/generated.md`` -- the
+parent-scoped, regeneratable cache. ``SessionManager.resume_session`` and the
+fork launch path copy this into ``children/<child>.md`` (per-child authoritative
+context) -- see ``prev_sessions.py``.
