Per Chronicler #64 (The Strategist) testing:
- Full clone (~170MB) works perfectly
- 8-hour session with zero memory/performance issues
- Sparse checkout no longer needed
Updated:
- SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md
- docs/core/SESSION-STARTUP-GUIDE.md
All three repos now use standard full clone.
Chronicler #66 - The Indexer (corrected by #64's guidance)
SESSION-STARTUP-GUIDE.md:
- Added model selection table (4.5 vs 4.6)
- When to use 4.6: complex coding, MVC, Arbiter, debugging
- When to stay on 4.5: documentation, marketing, routine ops
- Three options for mid-session model switching
New template:
- docs/templates/context-handoff-template.md
- Structured format for transferring context between sessions
- Covers: task state, decisions, files, next steps, gotchas
Chronicler #66 - The Indexer
Created comprehensive startup guide:
- Operations manual (sparse checkout)
- firefrost-services (standard clone)
- firefrost-website (standard clone)
- Quick copy-paste block for convenience
Updated handoff to include startup block.
This prevents future sessions from forgetting to clone all repos.
