Mandatory checklist before writing handoff prevents 'verbal decision →
lost context' failures.
Chroniclers must verify:
- All decisions documented in task files
- No promises without task tracking
- No 'supposed to be done' items undocumented
If any check fails: STOP, update task docs, commit, THEN handoff.
