Development record
2026-10-18 — A promise tied to a trigger is a checklist entry checked when the session looks, never a watcher (facilitator-on-delegation, itd-2610170638184486 planning prep): a promise such as 'when that pull request merges, add the wrapper' is written into the checklist with its trigger, read by the session at each start, wake and stop check, and its wake is the host's scheduled wake that the slice's stop check already reads; abcd keeps no process alive for it. The two-hour watcher of 2026-10-16 ended with the promise unkept, and the coordination prep settled that every deadline is derived when records are read, with no process that must stay alive (grounds: iss-2610170619247185; the coordination prep's on-demand pass decision; code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks Stop input session_crons)

- iss-2610170619247185An agent session told to work autonomously overnight sat idle for about ten of the eleven and a half hours between 20:48 BST on 2026-10-16 and 07:13 BST on 2026-10-17, while it held owed work it could have done alone.
