Module 04 Summary

What this module established

Carry what resuming requires and nothing else - ids over contents, never credentials, nothing that cannot be written down. Record how each fact was established: an agent's own guess left in the state becomes a premise for everything after it.

Carry forward

• A transcript grows every turn AND is re-sent every turn, so long runs cost quadratically. Test runs are too short to show it.
• Define the handoff as an allowlist. Passing everything carries credentials and text a later step may repeat to the person it describes.
• Verify resume in a separate process. An in-process test passes even when a step depends on a variable that would not survive.

Before moving on

Move on when a cross-process resume preserves your guard flags, and only source-verified facts travel between steps.
