# Todo continuity
Use the flat `~/code/todo/` inventory only when work must survive the current
turn/process and Git plus conversation cannot safely recover its live state.
Ordinary plans, in-turn delegation, and recoverable worktrees need no record.
## Keep a resumable record
- One Markdown file with TOML front matter per independently resumable unit;
no nested records or `main/`. `AGENTS.md` and `agent-coord.md` are singletons.
- Record the outcome, exact owner, current checkpoint, executable next actions,
observed verification, and recovery/cleanup conditions. Include only needed
dependencies, conversation IDs, coordination facts, and every live lane.
- Give independently required resumable execution one `[[attempt]]`.
Forecast/staffing facts enter only when needed.
- Record a model only from concrete run/dispatch evidence. Unknown identity
stays an evidence gap, never `self`, `parent`, `default`, or `auto`.
- Replace stale state at meaningful boundaries, including superseded holds.
Distinguish operator restrictions from agent recommendations; notes do not
grant or revoke authorization. Do not append a transcript.
- The product owner closes from terminal evidence; the run's host separately
settles its process, delivery, driver, and child state.
- Delete only after owned changes, dependents, cleanup, continuity, and awaited
acknowledgements are settled.
For exact fields, read `references/notes.md` and read its record
schema. Keep repository paths `repo:path` and runtime/worktree paths
`~`-anchored.
## Explicit cross-supervisor request
Read [nixos-config:cross-supervisor transport](references/cross-supervisor.md).
It specifies the paired monitors, duplex helper, event delivery, renewal, and
settlement. Never ask the operator to relay protocol tokens. `OPEN` and
`RECEIVED` convey no work ownership; transfers need separate acknowledgement.
