Handoff: Move Context Between Agent Sessions

Compress the current session into a small markdown document another agent session can continue from. A handoff is a one-way, lossy carry: whatever the next session needs has to be written down explicitly, because everything else is gone.

The point is to keep each session focused and inside its high-attention context window instead of dragging one bloated thread forward.

Inspired by Matt Pocock's /handoff skill. The failure mode it exists to prevent is relitigation: the next session reopens a decision the current one had already settled, because the doc recorded what was decided but not why. Every locked decision carries its rationale for this reason.
