Arroway

Call ONCE at the START of a session, before there is a task: recent work across this person's projects, opening with the roster and open handoffs.

Mark that you are taking an open handoff BEFORE working on it. A claim is a mark, never a lock. Addressing rule: addressed to YOUR user — take it; to someone else — only a human in this conversation can decide to take it, and an autonomous session must leave it.

Close an open handoff when its work is DONE, alongside the arroway_log entry that records the residue. Work that removes what an open handoff exists to fix closes that handoff in the same pass — even when the handoff is someone else's. So this is also the call for someone ELSE's handoff, with a note naming what emptied it. A handoff that still carries real work, which a passer-by must never close, stays open; discarding a handoff is the human's gesture, in the panel.

Acknowledge the final part of a multi-part Arroway read with its read_id and receipt, closing the sequence. It is not a precondition for working.

Fetch the next part of a read that did not fit (read_id and receipt of the preceding part). Returns the next slice with a new receipt; the part marked complete is the last. OPTIONAL: the first part already counts as delivered.

Export what a project has DECIDED, as a pack for another project. Only sanctioned, live memories travel: a FINDING never was one, so findings stay and the answer tells you how many did.

Bring a memory pack made by arroway_export INTO a project. Everything lands as a PROPOSAL for the person's review and nothing is pinned, whatever the pack says. If any part is malformed, nothing is imported.

Record the durable residue of a COMPLETED task: what someone arriving later needs in order not to redo it. ALWAYS write the authored essence (only a frozen catalog without that field may omit it). If a read memory's 'dies when' came true, name it in fulfills.

Move something to the project it belongs in. A memory is only PROPOSED: the change waits for the person's review, because moving changes who sees it. A log entry you wrote moves at once, text unchanged.

Call in the seconds BEFORE you tell the person something or propose a course of action: returns what is already decided AND THEN A MAP of the titles and handles. arroway_read include GUARANTEES a mapped one in full; it does not make that read any cheaper, so use it to be sure, never to pay less. Before publishing text for others, pass it as draft.

Call when you STOP with the task unfinished: it leaves a HANDOFF served at the top of every read until someone closes it; a completed task ends in arroway_log instead. ALWAYS write the authored essence (only a frozen catalog without that field may omit it).

Read Arroway for a project BEFORE acting on any task related to it. Name a #handle in include to recover that object's full body.

Save a durable memory (decision/rule/fact/preference/reference/identity) only when it would change a DIFFERENT task. Unsanctioned in THIS conversation, it is a PROPOSAL. 'identity' is WHO someone is: the user's circle goes in their personal project, a business's people in that business's project. A finding cannot replace a sanctioned memory.

Retire a SANCTIONED memory when the person told you to remove it and nothing replaces it. With a corrected version, use arroway_remember supersedes_id; for your own pending proposal, arroway_withdraw.

Find WHERE a literal term appeared in the recent dated log, in one project or all of them. It searches what happened, not curated memory.

Open a NEW project when the work has no home; it needs slug, name and scope. Propose them to the person FIRST. update=true renames a project you own and rewrites its scope when the person asks or the scope is wrong; the slug stays. invite brings someone in by email.

Record what a memory's source says when your work ALREADY took you there — never go verifying memories as a task. A conflicting one: propose the correction with arroway_remember. On a FINDING, source_gone archives it and a conflict is corrected in place.

Take back a pending PROPOSAL that turned out wrong, usually because the person corrected you. Not for sanctioned memories. If the corrected version is durable, also write it with arroway_remember.
