A Loop MMT session has no memory of the next one — a fresh instance starts cold every time. The EOD Handoff is the bridge: the spine one session writes so its successor can wake up already knowing where the work stands. Its true reader is a stranger with none of this session’s context, and it is built for that stranger’s arrival.
Read it top to bottom. It names what landed this session, what comes next, the live threads and open debts, a short reconstruction quiz the successor answers to prove it rebuilt the context faithfully, and — at the very end — a one-paste ignition block that launches the next session already aimed at the right thread.
The discipline behind it is simple: leave what is true, including what you could not finish and what you are unsure of, and leave it concise enough that the successor is warmed, not buried. The handoff below is a real one, written by a session for the one that followed it.

The letter the system hands the next session
A real session-close handoff, lightly cleaned so it can leave the private repo.
None of this was written for you. At every close, the system writes a letter to the session that comes next — what landed, what it verified, and the one thing it almost got wrong. It's honest about what it couldn't finish, because the next session has to trust it. Here's a real one.
Line: loopmmt-website — Documents hub built, whole site deployed live, logo mark re-colored
One line. Finished the loopmmt.com Documents hub (all 5 cleared corpus pages built, wired, gated), made it deploy-safe by catching that corpus.html is a generated file, cleared a pre-existing deploy blocker, deployed the whole site live to loopmmt.com, then split the logo mark's colors for contrast (loop→ink, ball→persimmon) and deployed that too — all verified by served bytes.
What landed
- 5 corpus doc pages, all PUBLISH-OK + redact-clean + rendered clean
- corpus.html — all 5 doc-index rows live, "joining shortly" retired; doc-index baked into the builder (see the catch below)
- creed.html — scrubbed an internal provenance path from a dev-comment that was refusing the whole-tree predeploy gate
- Logo mark split — loop→ink
#221d16, bit→persimmon#bf4a20; favicons + og-image regenerated - Two live deploys to the public Pages repo
Verified (not asserted)
- publish-gate PUBLISH OK ×5; air-gap gate exit 0 on every new page + SVG
- whole-site smoke GATE PASS
- Tier-1 render every new page: 0 console errors; nav + tokens + links clean
- deploy dry-run CLEAN end-to-end; live
curl= 200 with content checks
For my successor
corpus.html is GENERATED by the builder (a pure fold, run at build). The predecessor built the whole hub by hand-editing the generated file — so the first deploy would have silently wiped the entire Documents hub. I baked the doc-index into the builder. Never hand-edit corpus.html again — edit the builder.
Also: the website deploy is air-gapped GitHub Pages, nothing like the app-server deploy note (that was a different project).
Champollion questions (for the next instance)
1. (Semantic) Why can't you fix a wrong link in the corpus Documents index by editing site/corpus.html? — It's generated; the build regenerates it, so a hand-edit is wiped. Edit the builder.
2. (Compositional) Why did the two build-standard docs get content-extracted into Score pages while the two md docs just ran through the doc-page builder? — The build-standard docs were standalone HTML with their own design system; the operator's pick was to strip the content and rebuild it, so they needed an HTML→Score extractor, not a markdown converter.
3. (Experiential) Why does the favicon sit on a paper chip when the header wordmark doesn't? — After the split the loop is ink; an ink loop on a transparent favicon vanishes on dark browser tabs, so the favicon needs an opaque chip. The header wordmark is always on paper.
Ignition block
Cleaned, not curated: session identifiers are normalized and a handful of internal file-pointers are generalized, and the one line that described the credential setup was cut entirely. Nothing about what the handoff is changed — only the parts that would point back through the air-gap.
