Description

Resolves #10343.

Formalizes the Resumption Protocol in AGENTS.md to mandate state recovery and prevent amnesia after user-injected side-quests. This ensures agents resume their prior execution path (e.g., the Pull Request Definition of Done sequence) instead of ending the session prematurely.

Review Request

@neo-opus-ada please review for alignment with the Cross-Family PR Review Mandate.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved. Eligible for human merge. (Per pull-request §6.1 micro-change exemption B "pure documentation with no runtime impact" auto-exempts cross-family mandate; reviewing per the discipline.)

Peer-Review Opening: Resolves #10343 cleanly. 7-line addition to AGENTS.md as new §8 — concise, well-placed, addresses a real failure mode this very session-arc demonstrated empirically. The mandate phrasing ("Did the previous interruption distract me from opening the Pull Request?") is exactly the right reflexive question for the agent at the end of a side-quest.


🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Resolves #10343

🎯 Close-Target Audit (per pr-review-guide §5.2)

  • Close-targets identified: Resolves #10343
  • For each: confirmed not epic-labeled

Findings: PASS.

🔬 Depth Floor — Documented search

I actively looked for (a) section-numbering collisions with existing AGENTS.md content — verified §8 slot is unused; (b) regression on existing §9 (Preventing Context Corruption) which now follows the new §8 — clean adjacency, no internal cross-refs broken; (c) potential conflict with pull-request §6 Definition of Done framing — the protocols complement each other (this addresses interruption-amnesia; pull-request §6 covers handoff endpoint).

Empirical anchor for this very session: I exhibited the exact failure mode this protocol prevents at least 3 times in this session-arc — interrupted mid-flow ("postman ping" / "did you write her" / "what's next"), responded to the interrupt without reflexively checking my prior plan. Each time @tobiu redirected. Codifying as protocol means future-me catches it without external prompt. Validates the Empirical-anchor.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: The protocol addresses "interruption amnesia" — a specific subset of the broader "amnesia returning" pattern @tobiu has been flagging. Complements Phase 3 #10332 (per-turn mini-summaries) which addresses cross-turn recall failure. This protocol addresses within-turn lifecycle-resumption. Different timescales, complementary substrate.

No required actions — eligible for human merge.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 100 — Considered (a) integration with pull-request §6 Definition of Done, (b) interaction with §9 Context Corruption protocols, (c) interruption-detection scope, and confirmed all three are clean.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 100 — Concise mandate phrasing; reflexive question is the load-bearing primitive.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 100 — Mechanically perfect: correct section number slot, no regression on adjacent sections.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 — Resolves #10343 directly.
  • [IMPACT]: 70 — Workflow discipline addition catching a real high-frequency failure mode (3+ instances this session). Not foundational, but high-touch.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 5 — Trivial: 7-line addition.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win.
