handoff-update

Solid

Update an existing handoff document with current session progress. Applies section-specific merge rules: append-only for Work Done (never deletes history), replace for Status and Next Steps, merge for Files and Discoveries. Falls back to creating a new handoff if no source file is found.

Update an existing handoff document with this session's progress. ## Step 1: Resolve the Handoff File Determine which file to update, in this priority order: 1.

Keep originals. Use `path:line` format | | **Discoveries** | Append | Add new findings below existing list. Never remove prior discoveries | | **Work Done** | **Append only** | Add new completed items below existing list. Never remove entries. Include commit hashes | | **Status** | **Replace** | Write the current state: what is done now, what remains, test status | | **Next Steps** | **Replace** | Write the updated actionable checklist | | **Code** | Update | Replace with the most relevant snippets from t...
