Sprint

Autonomous development session. Follows the CONTRIBUTING.md workflow with pre-authorized decisions — agent pauses only for substantive technical uncertainty, never for process approvals.

Session boundary model: The seam between sessions is the PR. A session ends with all work filed as PRs, tree clean. The next session begins with independent review of those PRs — fresh context, full rigor. The agent never reviews its own work in the same context that wrote it.

Announce

"Starting sprint. Reading turnover and checking project state."
