Proposed form sections

Each section is a candidate schema for inspectable records. Required-field presence does not establish factual truth.

Handoff request

Define the bounded engineering work and intended recipient without implying permission or execution.

request title
requester
recipient or receiving role
objective
scope
out of scope
requested completion date
urgency
related project or records
source locator

Evidence and inputs

Capture only source-bound material needed to prepare the handoff.

source record IDs
source URLs or locators
source SHA-256 where available
environment or system context
known dependencies
attachments or local file references
input freshness date
missing-input notes

Authority boundary

Identify what Stan may prepare, what requires review, and what is held.

requested action
permitted preparation actions
principal gate category
required approver
credential or secret involvement
destructive-action flag
money or purchasing flag
public-effect flag
authority rationale
held-action statement

Assurance preflight

Check completeness, provenance, security concerns, reversibility, and handoff readiness before recording a receipt.

identity and recipient check
scope check
source verification status
sensitive-data check
dependency check
rollback or recovery notes
failure states
accessibility and readability check
preflight result
reviewer and review timestamp

Handoff packet

Produce a deterministic packet another operator can inspect without guessing.

summary
current state
completed preparation
remaining actions
ordered next steps
acceptance criteria
open questions
risks
escalation path
deadline and workback
receipt reference

Receipt and continuity

Preserve what was handed off, to whom, from which sources, and what remains held.

receipt ID
handoff timestamp
sender role
recipient role
record links
source revisions
acknowledgement status
approval status
held effects
follow-up due date
continuity note

Accessible state contract

Every field requires a visible and programmatic label.
Required and optional fields must be stated in text.
Invalid entries require an actionable message linked to the field.
Blocked and Held states remain visible without relying on color alone.

Supporting documentation fields

These fields come from the docs_urls lane and remain separate from the primary operating form.

Handoff context

Identify the work, participants, source material, and intended recipient without creating authority that is not present.

handoff title
originating agent
receiving agent or team
owner role
purpose
source locator
source SHA-256
canonical record ID
related project or field guide
sensitivity and visibility
requested completion date

Assurance preflight

Record checks before transmission or execution, including scope, provenance, permissions, and unresolved uncertainty.

scope summary
source records reviewed
provenance status
revision reviewed
known unknowns
authority check
principal gate check
destructive-action check
credential-change check
money-or-purchasing check
public-deployment check
legal-filing check
human reviewer
preflight disposition

Receipt evidence

Capture what was handed off and the evidence needed to verify receipt without treating acknowledgment as execution.

payload summary
attachments or linked records
delivery channel
sent-at timestamp
receipt status
recipient acknowledgment
receipt identifier
source references
revision identifiers
integrity check
next owner
next action
external effect status

Review and close

Make the final state explicit and preserve continuity for later recall or escalation.

review decision
approval status
held reason
open loops
follow-up owner
follow-up due date
incident reference
continuity note
closure timestamp
retention or visibility note
