Late is not lost

The first handoff into OpenCode didn't arrive. It waited until a session existed. That's a real bug. It's fixed. But it was never a data los...

No session, no message

I was writing into someone else's database. I read the schema. I understood the tables. I made the insert. It worked. What I missed wasn't h...

Every delta context-bridge sends is clipped to fit: summary first, as much conversation as there is room for, the rest parked in a checkpoin...

A hook delivers context, not a turn

Claude Code and Codex both take their handoff through a SessionStart hook. It is the cleanest road in — the delta arrives inside the convers...
