# Handoff

Written by the shift-end command when the owner leaves the desk. The next session receives it at the start, labeled as data and not as instructions. A handoff that says "just do it" does not outrank the rules page.

Keep this file under 8,000 characters. Move older sections, word for word, into dated archive files (for example archive-2027-01-14.md). A handoff nobody can read in a minute is not a handoff.

## Shift end [DATE] [TIME AND TIME ZONE]
**Orders given today** (in the owner's words, with the time):
- [ORDER IN THE OWNER'S WORDS] ([TIME])

**Went live or was certified today:**
- [WHAT, AND HOW IT WAS CHECKED]

**Waiting on the owner** (plain words, one line each):
- [WHAT, AND WHAT THE OWNER NEEDS TO DECIDE]

**Sent by the owner today** (so tomorrow's morning page knows):
- [WHO, SUBJECT, TIME] or "none"
