Which facts become stale after another developer edits the branch?
The judgment behind the action
A handoff records the objective, branch and commit, intentional changes, evidence, open questions, and next action. The next session must refresh mutable facts. A context summary is not a replacement for inspecting the current working tree.
A bounded way to ask
Before continuing, inspect Git status and current files. Preserve unrelated changes. Read the handoff, then verify whether its test results still apply.
Write a handoff for a fix with one failing edge-case test.
