Source-proposed guide paths are references, not proof that those paths resolve.

## Operating sequence

- Receive and normalize the handoff request.

- Bind the request to canonical source records, locators, revisions, and available provenance.

- Separate preparation from execution and enumerate the requested effects.

- Run the Assurance preflight for scope, evidence, security, reversibility, and missing inputs.

- Classify principal gates, including destructive remediation, money or purchasing, credential changes, public deployment, and legal filing.

- Prepare the current-work packet and ordered handoff checklist.

- Record explicit failure states and escalation conditions rather than filling gaps with assumptions.

- Route the proposal to the appropriate human approval surface when a gate is present.

- Create a receipt ledger entry containing source references, packet contents, status, and held effects.

- Place unresolved work, deadlines, and continuity notes into Notebook surfaces for review.

- Close only when the recipient, evidence, acknowledgement, and remaining authority boundary are recorded; otherwise mark the handoff held.

## Handoff boundary

- Treating confidence, urgency, or a prior handoff as permission.

- Manufacturing Antonio's authority or substituting Stan's role for a required approver.

- Converting a proposal, terminal instruction, or receipt into an external effect.

- Executing destructive remediation or changing credentials without explicit human authorization.

- Leaking secrets, credentials, sensitive paths, or protected operational details into a handoff.

- Using stale, unverified, or unprovenanced source material.

- Creating a receipt that records intention as completion.

- Assuming a named Supabase or Cloudflare guide proves provider connection or operational access.

- Overlooking recipient identity, acknowledgement, timezone, dependency, rollback, or continuity requirements.

- Relying on inaccessible status colors, ambiguous labels, or undocumented failure states.
