# Session Close
Finalise from VERIFIED state, write each piece of state to its one home, hand off
slim. The next session should inherit verified files and a one-page delta — not a
conversation summary that may carry unverified claims.
## CONFIGURATION (adapt to your project)
Two lanes of canonical files. Name yours:
**Assistant-writable** (you draft; the user saves):
- **ROADMAP.md** — the plan: sequence, status, gates, pending decisions
- **TASKS.md** — actionable items only
- **HANDOVER** — this session's delta (written fresh each close)
- *(optional)* convention/process guides the project keeps
**Externally-owned** (a second environment owns them; you can only request edits) —
e.g. an agent's instruction file, a ledger of shipped work, anything living on
another system's disk. If your project has none, skip Step 4 entirely.
## Operating principle
One home per content type: the plan lives in the roadmap, actions in the task list,
durable decisions in the project's decision home, per-work detail in its own
artifacts. The handover holds ONLY the session delta plus pointers. If the handover
is growing, content is sitting in the wrong home.
## Step 1 — Reconcile (the safeguard)
List what changed this session that affects canonical state. Tag each item
**VERIFIED** (confirmed against the most authoritative source available — disk,
ledger, a real run) or **CLAIM** (asserted in conversation only). Never promote a
CLAIM — a status flip, a hash, a "done", a metric the next
