🤝 handoff — Bidirectional Handoff, Resumption & Ambient Continuity Engine

Aliases: agent-handoff | subagent-handoff | context-packet | resume | where-were-we

handoff provides context continuity across agent lifecycles in three modes:

1. Inbound Resumption: Resumes previous agent sessions with boundary-safe directory matching, leading with any unanswered open questions.
2. Outbound Dispatch: Generates lean, bounded context packets before dispatching subagents or stepping away.
3. Ambient Continuity (v2.1.0): Passively maintains a live state file and probes for it on every workspace entry, so work continues across conversations, agents, and runtimes — even after abrupt endings and even when no one asked for a handoff.

When to Use

Mode A: Inbound Session Resumption

• User asks: "where were we", "resume", "pick up where I left off", "what was I doing", or begins a session with no fresh prompt.
• Restoring state after an interruption or machine restart.
