state-md-cross-session-continuity-protocol

A living STATE.md at the repo root is the canonical cross-session continuity artifact. Protocol: every new session starts with git pull then reads STATE.md (current phase, next action, DRIFT/BLOCKER entries), works the next action, updates STATE.md on completion, commits with trailers, then pushes. This pattern allows any Claude instance with zero prior context to resume coherently. Keep STATE.md co-located with README.md at repo root; never nest it inside docs/.
