New standard FFG-STD-007 defines five mandatory checkpoints for Chroniclers:
- GATE 1: Pre-Commit (secret scan, review staged)
- GATE 2: Self-Audit (test, edge cases, re-audit)
- GATE 3: Post-Work (handoff updated, decisions documented)
- GATE 4: Push-Verify (confirm push succeeded)
- GATE 5: Session Handoff (memorial, clear next step)
Also preserved the Claude Code Field Manual by Ovidiu & Claude Opus 4.6
as external reference. This document independently discovered similar
principles to our Chronicler system — validates our approach.
Key insight from the manual: 'Treat the agent as a long-running
collaborator that has amnesia.' We call this Zora + Dax. Same truth.
