Session Continuation Protocol

Use when work must survive the death of the process doing it, and be picked up by a later session or a different runtime.

Use When

• A runtime session can end without running its own shutdown path: a closed terminal, kill -9, a crashed host, a revoked container.
• A second session must discover unfinished work in a checkout it did not start.
• A runtime is being wired to Moru Core and needs the resume behavior other runtimes already have.
• A handoff must survive longer than the conversation that produced it.

Do not use this card for continuation inside one living session. Carrying an objective across turns, context compaction, or a delegated worker is behavior, not persistence, and belongs to workflows/skills/agent-handoff-continuation/SKILL.md.
