# Context Refresh
## Core principle
Refresh preserves facts, decisions, blockers, and state while dropping speculation and reloading only changed authoritative sources.
## Procedure
1. Summarize goal, completed, remaining, decisions, evidence, blocker, and next action.
2. Discard abandoned hypotheses and repetitive output.
3. Check source hashes, versions, or modification evidence.
4. Reload only stale or changed sources.
5. Resolve conflicts in favor of current source.
6. Update compact task context and resume.
## Required output
Compressed state, refreshed sources, retired stale facts, and next action.
## Limits
Two identical reloads without source change trigger attention reset.
## Common mistakes
Do not reread the entire repository or trust stale summaries over source.
## Stop condition
Stop when current context is small, fresh, and sufficient for the next action.
