Continuity handoff doc — the agent's living, canonical working-doc (T2.29, ADR-18).
A new handoff MCP tool (the fourth write surface) lets the agent maintain an evolving
markdown document a fresh instance reads to resume fully: mission, current state,
progress, exact next steps, key references, decisions + why, the user's own
directives/corrections, system/process improvements discovered, and open questions.
Stored at ~/.headroom/continuity/<session>.md, latest-wins, capped per section, session-
guarded, pruned after 7 days. Re-injected at SessionStart(source=compact) as a pointer +
digest (ADR-11 style — the doc lives on disk, so point, don't dump). Richer and more
durable than the terse checkpoint. headroom handoff [--path] prints the current doc.
Changed
Skill: context-pressure is a write-the-handoff signal, not a stop sign. Field report:
agents were getting "tired"/cautious as compaction approached and slowing down or stopping.
The "near the context ceiling" section is rewritten into a handoff ritual — keep a living
handoff doc, refresh it when context runs low, then keep working at full speed; let the
window burn to the floor because compaction is automatic and your doc + ground truth are
re-injected right after it. The mid-turn ctx band update now says the same. (Wording
eval-gated per ADR-9; validating in soak.)
