description: End of session. Saves what the next session needs to know into memory, then checks it was saved.

You are ending this session. Future sessions only know what is WRITTEN DOWN. Do every step. Do not skip a step as "nothing to record" without actually checking.

## 1. Harvest this session
Go through the whole conversation and list:
- Decisions the owner made, approved, rejected or reversed.
- Traps: mistakes or surprises that must not happen again.
- State changes: anything deployed, moved, switched off or reconfigured that a later session needs to know.
- Open loops: anything unfinished, what remains, and where it lives.

## 2. Update the current decisions first
- For every decision that changed this session, update the matching line in [YOUR CURRENT-DECISIONS FILE]. Replace the line in place. Never add a duplicate. If a new fact contradicts an old line, fix the old line.
- Write the decision and the reason. Do not write claims about what runs and when; those are read from the source, never from notes.

## 3. Facts are read, not remembered
- Do not type business numbers, counts or statuses from memory. Anything a query can produce stays out of the notes.
- The "waiting" list in the handoff holds only the why, the judgment and what to do next. One line each. Delete items closed this session.
- Before writing any line about something only the owner can do, read its fact at the source and drop it if it is done.

## 4. Write memory
- Make one small file per lesson in the memory folder. Use the frontmatter shape in memory/MEMORY.md.
- Add one line per new file to MEMORY.md. Refresh index lines for any file that changed today.
- Worth saving: a correction, a standing preference, a trap that bit once. Not worth saving: finished work, status, anything the code or the records already hold.

## 5. Rotate the handoff
Follow the same steps as shift-end, step 2: keep HANDOFF.md under 8,000 characters and move old sections word for word into a dated archive file.

## 6. Verify
Never say "saved" without checking. Show:
- The text you wrote is present in [YOUR CURRENT-DECISIONS FILE].
- Each new memory file exists, and MEMORY.md points to it.

## 7. Report
End with a short checklist: decisions written (list them), memories saved (list the files), verified, open loops for next session (or "none"). If something could not be saved, say so plainly. Never end silently incomplete.
