# Resume Task
## Core principle
Resume from compact state, validate freshness, load only changed relevant sources, and continue the recorded next action.
## Procedure
1. Load objective, DoD, completed, remaining, blocker, decisions, evidence, and next action.
2. Check source freshness and repository status.
3. Reload only relevant files changed since the checkpoint.
4. Resolve stale memory in favor of source.
5. Confirm the next action still advances an unmet requirement.
6. Continue and update temporary state after progress.
## Required output
Freshness verdict, restored state, reloaded sources, and resumed action.
## Limits
Do not reconstruct the whole repository when compact state is current.
## Common mistakes
Do not trust fake memory, stale summaries, or preserve abandoned speculation.
## Stop condition
Stop resume setup when state is current and one valid action is executing.
