A session cannot talk to another session. The maintainer carries the brief, so it has to stand
on its own.
## Before writing
Establish what the receiving session must check first, and what evidence you actually hold —
paths with line numbers, commands and their real output, run ids, measurements. Anything you
assert without evidence, mark as unverified rather than dropping it.
## Structure
1. **Header** — from, to, scope, and the single file or area in play. State up front if no
change is wanted in the sending repo.
2. **Verify the premise** — the file, command or state the receiving session checks *before*
acting, and what to do if it turns out to be wrong. Say "declare this void and report back"
explicitly. ⚠️ A handoff that cannot be falsified by its reader is just an instruction to
comply.
3. **The finding, with evidence** — the conclusion *and* what grounds it, so the reader can
catch an error rather than inherit it, and never re-derives what you already paid for.
4. **The change to make** — bounded. Name what belongs to a different repo or a different
decision.
5. **What NOT to do** — including known-and-accepted gaps it will notice and should not re-file
as discoveries.
6. **Ship discipline for the target repo** — issue, branch, gate, PR body, board.
7. **What could not be determined** — and why. Never drop this section.
## Hazards
⚠️ Where the target repo runs an agent workflow, a literal front-door handle in an issue or PR
comment starts a
