# Session Close ## Close Mode `/session-close` is always a **Full Shutdown**. The operator explicitly invoked it — that's the confirmation. No close mode decision, no prompting. When invoked with `--auto` by heartbeat (either after 12h SHELL.md inactivity, or via the `daily-auto-close` pending-flag drain after a 10-min lull), the operator did not invoke it. The auto-close path bypasses summary-gathering, skips reflect (step 5), skips the heartbeat-stop step (step below), stamps `closed_via: auto` in the archive frontmatter via the session-mgr payload, and clears `state/pending-close.json` after the archive succeeds. Idle transitions happen automatically at task boundaries (handled by the `session` skill). By the time the operator runs `/session-close`, they want out. If heartbeat is running, stop it before archiving. **Skip on `--auto`** — heartbeat is the caller; stopping its Monitor would prevent all future ticks. If watches are registered (`state/monitors.runtime.json` has entries), stop all watches before archiving — invoke `/claude-code-hermit:watch stop --all`. session-mgr handles updating both SHELL.md (cosmetic) and `state/runtime.json` (lifecycle truth) during archiving. For full shutdown, session-mgr sets `shutdown_completed_at` in runtime.json. --- ## Full Shutdown Use this when the operator wants to end everything (via `hermit-stop` or explicit `--shutdown`). ### Auto-close path (`--auto`) When invoked with `--auto` by heartbeat, skip steps 1–5 and jump
