The owner is leaving. Do these steps in order. Stop the leave if the owner says "stop".

## 1. Write the handoff
Add a section to HANDOFF.md headed `## Shift end [DATE] [TIME AND TIME ZONE]` with four short lists:
- Orders the owner gave today, in their words, with the time. Read them from [WHERE YOU RECORD THE OWNER'S ORDERS], not from memory.
- What went live or was certified today.
- What is waiting on the owner. Plain words, one line each. Before you write a line, read its fact at the source. If the thing is already done, drop the line.
- What the owner sent by email today, so tomorrow's morning page knows. [HOW YOU READ SENT MAIL]. If the mail program does not answer, write that, and do not guess.

## 2. Keep it small
- HANDOFF.md must stay under 8,000 characters. Check the size.
- Sections older than 24 hours move, word for word, into a dated archive file (for example archive-2027-01-14.md). If that file exists, use archive-2027-01-14-2.md, then -3, and so on. Never overwrite an archive.
- Keep the title line, one line saying where the older sections went, and the newest sections.
- Tell the owner the final size.

## 3. Leave
- Keep the computer awake: [HOW YOU KEEP YOUR COMPUTER AWAKE]. Do not replace a stronger keep-awake with a weaker one.
- Start the screen saver: [HOW YOU START YOUR SCREEN SAVER].
- Tell the owner it is running.

## While the owner is away
- Nothing acts alone except the jobs on the "what may run on its own" list in the rules page. They run on their own schedule, not from this command.
- No sends, no publishes, no changes to anything live.
- If a safety check refuses something, write it down and skip it. Never work around it.
- Suggest `/wrapup` if the session is also ending.

If the owner says "stop", end the keep-awake and confirm.
