Core Lifecycle Standard Mandated by Rule 31

  1. START / CLAIM (Register Work): Check existing leases/tickets/heartbeats, acquire ticket claim or file ticket, announce start over mail bus.
  2. EXECUTE: Enforce strict single-writer repository boundaries, maintain active heartbeats.
  3. CHECKPOINT / CLOSEOUT (Publish State): Resolve tickets, prepend authoritative checkpoint to SESSION-STATE.md, write durable Apple Notes changelog, broadcast completion over mail bus.
  4. RESUME SAFELY: Successor agents establish ground truth from SESSION-STATE.md, ticket index, and mail bus before taking action.
