cnos.handoff Extraction Map — v0.1

Wave complete (2026-05-22): all surfaces migrated; v0.1 complete; cnos#404 closed via cnos#420. The six per-surface rows below (§1–§6) plus the two discovered surfaces (§7 deferred-by-design, §8 folded into mid-flight) plus the §9 close-out row all carry "Status: v0.1 ..." declarations. This document is now an archival migration record; future cycles cite the canonical cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/<area>/SKILL.md paths directly.

Version: 0.1 (Subs 1–6 of cnos#404; shipped under cnos#415 and finalized under cnos#420) Date: 2026-05-22 Placement: src/packages/cnos.handoff/docs/extraction-map.md Audience: historical reference for the migration provenance of each handoff-class surface; readers tracking which cnos.cdd / cnos.cds section moved to which cnos.handoff sub-skill. Scope: A surface-by-surface migration record from handoff-class doctrine that was resident in cnos.cdd (and in cnos.cds per cnos#411) at the source pin, mapped onto the now-canonical cnos.handoff home, with the migration sub-issue named for each surface.

This document is a mapping table + commentary, not a re-statement of CDD / CDS / CDR doctrine. It does not embed source prose; citations carry the source path and the section marker at which the content currently resides. Subs 2–5 of cnos#404 executed the migration against this map; Sub 6 (cnos#420) repointed cross-references in cdd / cds / cdr to the new cnos.handoff canonical homes and closed the tracker.


0. Method

0.1 Source pin

Source evidence cited herein refers to the cnos repository's main branch at the head of cycle/415's parent commit (bc29c009 — Merge cycle/414: Add DECREASING-INCOHERENCE.md essay). All line-numbered citations resolve at that pin. The handoff-class surfaces have shifted homes across the cnos#403 wave (some surfaces named in cnos#404's opening table moved from cnos.cdd into cnos.cds during Subs 2–5 of that wave); the rows below record each surface at its current canonical home at the source pin, not at the home cnos#404's opening table named at filing time.

0.2 cnos.handoff v0.1 target surfaces

The migration lands into three surface classes within cnos.handoff:

  1. skills/handoff/HANDOFF.md — the canonical wire-format contract (forthcoming; ships with Sub 2 or Sub 3 of cnos#404, whichever lands the first substantive doctrine). Sections under HANDOFF.md will be named §"Directional cases", §"Wire-format artifacts", §"Consumer protocol", etc.
  2. skills/handoff/<area>/SKILL.md — sub-area skill files for operationally-heavy surfaces (cross-repo, dispatch, mid-flight, artifact-channel, receipt-stream). Each sub-area skill is the operational expansion of the HANDOFF.md section that names it. The cross-repo case is special: Sub 2 moves the entire 644-line cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md wholesale rather than expanding from a HANDOFF.md section, because the source is already a complete canonical surface.
  3. schemas/handoff/ (optional; deferred decision) — if Sub 3 lifts the implementation-contract 7-axes table from Markdown into a typed JSON schema, this is where it lives. Sub 3 decides; not pre-committed by this map.

0.3 Sub naming

The migration sub-issues follow cnos#404's wave shape:

  • Sub 2 — "Move cross-repo state machine + bundles into cnos.handoff" (P2; depends on this Sub 1). Owns the entire cross-repo/SKILL.md wholesale move (644 lines).
  • Sub 3 — "Move dispatch-prompt template + implementation-contract schema into cnos.handoff" (P2; depends on Sub 1). Owns cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 (dispatch prompts + 7-axes table + four-surface mesh) + cdd/delta/SKILL.md §2 (inward-membrane enrichment doctrine).
  • Sub 4 — "Move intra-cycle handoff mechanisms into cnos.handoff" (P2; depends on Sub 1). Owns the mid-flight gamma-clarification.md mechanism (cnos#391 empirical anchor) + the .cdd/unreleased/{N}/ artifact channel rules (post-#411 canonical in cnos.cds). Sub 4 decides migration semantics for the cds-resident piece: move / mirror / cite-only.
  • Sub 5 — "Move cross-cycle receipt-stream into cnos.handoff" (P2; depends on Sub 1). Owns cdd/post-release/SKILL.md §5.6b (per-finding shape + cdd-iteration.md cadence rule + aggregator update procedure + cross-repo trace bundle). May also absorb cdd/harness/SKILL.md §5.4 polling primitives if Sub 5 decides they are handoff-class rather than runtime-substrate.
  • Sub 6 — "Cross-reference cleanup + close tracker" (P2; depends on Subs 2–5). Sweeps citations in cnos.cdd / cnos.cds / cnos.cdr (and the docs essays under docs/gamma/) to re-point at the new cnos.handoff canonical homes. Closes cnos#404.

The Sub-2/Sub-3/Sub-4/Sub-5/Sub-6 split follows the natural cohesion of the surfaces; cross-cutting bullets (e.g., the four-surface mesh which γ template / δ enrichment / α constraint / β verification span Sub 2's cross-repo, Sub 3's dispatch, and Sub 4's mid-flight) are noted in the row's commentary.

0.4 Coverage commitment

Per cnos#415 AC5 ("docs/extraction-map.md contains tables for each of the 6 surfaces listed in D2"; mechanical: grep -c "^## " docs/extraction-map.md ≥ 6), the tables below carry one ##-headed section per surface family. The six required families are:

  1. Cross-repo state machine + bundles (Sub 2)
  2. Dispatch-prompt template (Sub 3)
  3. Implementation-contract schema (Sub 3)
  4. Mid-flight gamma-clarification.md mechanism (Sub 4)
  5. .cdd/unreleased/{N}/ artifact channel rules (Sub 4)
  6. cdd-iteration.md receipt-stream + INDEX.md aggregator (Sub 5)

Two additional handoff surfaces were discovered during authoring (recorded as additional ##-headed sections; counted toward the ≥ 6 floor):

  1. Polling primitives (Sub 5 or deferred; the boundary is contested)
  2. Spec-staleness propagation (Sub 4; folded into mid-flight or artifact-channel)

Plus the close-out row:

  1. Cross-reference cleanup + close tracker (Sub 6).

0.5 Note-column conventions

Each row's note column uses one of:

  • verbatim move — the source content moves as-is; rename only the file path and update cross-references.
  • rewrite — the source content needs minor edits (e.g., software-class vocabulary stripped; consumer-protocol-neutral phrasing) before landing.
  • pointer-only — the destination is a one-line pointer to a canonical home elsewhere (used for surfaces where the canonical home stays put and cnos.handoff only provides a loader entrypoint).
  • migration-semantics-undecided — the destination is committed but the migration mechanism is one of (move / mirror / cite-only) and the dispatching δ for the sub decides. Used for rows where the source is already in cnos.cds post-#411.

1. Cross-repo state machine + bundles (§Cross-repo) — Sub 2

Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md. Landed via cnos#416 (Sub 2 of cnos#404). The 644-line skill moved wholesale; a compatibility pointer remains at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md for backward compatibility; the STATUS-canonical-home declaration was flipped from CDD.md / CDS.md to this skill (§2.3); canonical-authority citations in cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/{gamma,post-release,epsilon}/SKILL.md and cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md were re-pointed at the new home. The Sub 2 dispatcher's open question below was resolved by keeping the wholesale move as one file (Q1 recommendation accepted).

Source family (pre-migration): cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md — entire skill, 644 lines (the largest extraction target in this wave). Now a 28-line compatibility pointer at the same path. Source content: Four directional cases (a: inbound proposal; b: outbound iteration trace; c: bilateral iteration; d: operator-pending bundle); canonical path discipline; 8-event STATUS state machine (drafted / submitted / accepted / modified / rejected / landed / withdrawn / revised); transition graph; emitters per event; master/sub landed rule; bundle-state phases; bundle file set per case; LINEAGE.md schema per case; feedback-patch format; bundle archival rule (asymmetric: source-side may delete on terminal STATUS; target-side preserved indefinitely); hat-collapse attribution; known protocol edge cases; embedded kata. Migration sub: Sub 2 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#416. Destination commitment: Move wholesale to cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md (same filename, same frontmatter shape; parent: handoff instead of parent: cdd). Per the operator ruling, the source file is not deleted from cnos.cdd; it is replaced with a ≤ 50-line compatibility pointer so unswept cross-references still resolve. Status: complete (Sub 2 / cnos#416).

Source (path + §-anchor) Destination (path under cnos.handoff/) Sub Note
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md (entire file; 644 lines) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md Sub 2 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md. Verbatim move; parent: cddparent: handoff; requires: reworded to be package-agnostic; calls: paths rewritten to absolute cross-package form (cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/<role>/SKILL.md); STATUS-canonical-home declaration in §2.3 flipped to declare this skill as the owner.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.3 (STATUS state machine; 8-event vocabulary; transition graph; emitters; master/sub rule) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.3 Sub 2 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md. Inside the wholesale move; the STATUS state machine is the most-cited piece of cross-repo doctrine and now declares itself canonical (no longer "canonical in CDD.md / CDS.md").
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.5 (bundle file set per case a/b/c/d) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.5 Sub 2 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md. Verbatim.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.6 (LINEAGE.md schema per case) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.6 Sub 2 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md. Verbatim.

cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.8 (bundle archival rule; asymmetric) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.8 Sub 2 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md. Verbatim.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.9 (hat-collapse attribution) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md §2.9 Sub 2 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md. Verbatim.

Resolved open question (Sub 2 dispatcher, cnos#416): The wholesale move stayed one file (~643 lines after frontmatter edits). The split alternatives (extracting cross-repo/status/SKILL.md, cross-repo/bundles/SKILL.md, cross-repo/lineage/SKILL.md) are deferred to a post-#404 cycle if consumer pressure reveals which sub-surfaces churn independently. Q1 recommendation accepted.


2. Dispatch-prompt template (§Dispatch) — Sub 3

Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Landed via cnos#417 (Sub 3 of cnos#404). The γ / α / β prompt templates, the 7-axis implementation-contract Markdown template, the prompt rules, and the four-surface mesh declaration moved into the new dispatch sub-skill (synthesized with §3 below into one cohesive file). The three source sections (gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 dispatch sub-blocks; operator/SKILL.md §3a; delta/SKILL.md §2) became pointers. The branch pre-flight, scaffold gate, polling cross-reference, spec-staleness propagation, and Step 5 unblock content of gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 remained in cnos.cdd as cycle-lifecycle role-skill content.

Source family (pre-migration): cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 "Steps 3a–5 — Create the cycle branch, dispatch, unblock without leakage" (lines 170–278 at source pin). Source content: γ-owned branch pre-flight gate; pre-dispatch γ scaffold check (binding gate per gamma-scaffold.md presence); polling cross-reference into harness/SKILL.md §5.4; dispatch prompt formats per role (γ prompt at lines 204–209; α prompt at lines 211–218; β prompt at lines 252–258); implementation-contract section markdown template (the 7-axes table at lines 226–238); prompt rules; spec-staleness propagation sub-section (lines 272–278); the four-surface mesh declaration (γ template ↔ δ enrichment ↔ α constraint ↔ β verification). Migration sub: Sub 3 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#417. Destination commitment: cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md — new sub-skill file. Splits cleanly: the dispatch-prompt format is wire-format; the γ-owned branch pre-flight gate is cycle-lifecycle (stays in cdd) and is cited from the new dispatch skill rather than duplicated. Status: complete (Sub 3 / cnos#417).

Source (path + §-anchor) Destination (path under cnos.handoff/) Sub Note
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Dispatch prompts" (γ / α / β prompt formats) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §2.1 Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Verbatim. The line-176 γ-owned branch pre-flight (cycle/{N} from origin/main) stayed in cdd/gamma/SKILL.md because it is cycle-lifecycle.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Implementation contract section" (the markdown template at lines 226–238) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §2.3 Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. See row §3 below for the schema (the 7 axes themselves); this row is the template-injection rule (γ MUST include the section in the α prompt; γ MUST NOT dispatch with empty / TBD rows). Schema and template land together in dispatch/SKILL.md.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Prompt rules" (point both roles at the issue; include explicit Branch: line; use --json title,body,state,comments; do not restate the algorithm in the prompt; do not smuggle constraints into chat prose) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §2.2 Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Verbatim move. These rules are wire-format discipline.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Spec-staleness propagation" (lines 272–278; how γ propagates spec changes to long-lived polling sessions) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §2.4 (wire-format invariant) + cdd-resident consumer-specific file list Sub 3 / Sub 4 (boundary partially resolved) Status: v0.1 partially migrated; wire-format invariant at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §2.4; consumer-specific file list (which cdd skills trigger propagation) remains at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Spec-staleness propagation". Sub 4 may absorb the wire-format invariant into mid-flight (gamma-coordination.md cousin of gamma-clarification.md) and supersede the dispatch-resident copy.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "The mesh" (the four-surface mesh declaration; γ template ↔ δ enrichment ↔ α constraint ↔ β verification) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §3.1 Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Verbatim with cross-references re-pointed: γ template cite to gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 (consumer); δ enrichment self-cited (this skill); α constraint cite to alpha/SKILL.md §3.6 (consumer); β verification cite to beta/SKILL.md Rule 7 (consumer).
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/operator/SKILL.md §3a (relocation pointer; pre-Phase-4a name) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §3 (citation; §3a remains as pointer in operator/SKILL.md) Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. The §3a section in operator/SKILL.md is preserved as a pointer (now re-pointed at cnos.handoff rather than at delta/SKILL.md §2).

3. Implementation-contract schema (§Implementation-contract) — Sub 3

Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Landed via cnos#417 (Sub 3 of cnos#404). The 7-axis implementation-contract schema (Language; CLI integration target; Package scoping; Existing-binary disposition; Runtime dependencies; JSON/wire contract preservation; Backward-compat invariant), the δ-as-inward-membrane enrichment doctrine, the four-surface mesh declaration, and the cnos#389/#391/#392/#393 empirical anchors moved into the new dispatch sub-skill (synthesized with §2 above into one cohesive file). Q2 (schema lift to schemas/handoff/implementation-contract.cue) was deferred per Sub 3 ruling — schema stays Markdown for v0.1.

Source family (pre-migration): cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/delta/SKILL.md §2 "Inward membrane — γ contract → α-ready dispatch (implementation-contract enrichment)" (canonical home post-cnos#397); plus the markdown template in cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Implementation contract section" (lines 226–238 at source pin). Source content: The 7 architectural axes (Language; CLI integration target; Package scoping; Existing-binary disposition; Runtime dependencies; JSON/wire contract preservation; Backward-compat invariant); δ's review-before-routing duty; fill-or-escalate paths; the four-surface mesh (γ template / δ enrichment / α constraint / β verification — see row §2 for the mesh declaration); cnos#389/#391/#392/#393 empirical anchors. Migration sub: Sub 3 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#417. Destination commitment: cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md — co-resident with the prompt-template (§2 above) because the schema and the template land together. Status: complete (Sub 3 / cnos#417).

Source (path + §-anchor) Destination (path under cnos.handoff/) Sub Note
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/delta/SKILL.md §2 (inward-membrane doctrine; the 7 axes; δ's review-before-routing duty) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §3 ("δ as inward membrane") Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Verbatim transport; the 7-axis schema (wire-format) and the inward-membrane enrichment doctrine (enforcement mechanism for the axes) are co-located. The delta/SKILL.md §2 section is now a pointer; the role-local realization (δ-as-actor at routing time) remains in delta/SKILL.md.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Implementation contract section" template (lines 226–238; the markdown table γ injects into the α prompt) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §2.3 Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Verbatim. (Also covered in §2 above; this row is the schema-level commitment that the template is canonicalized in cnos.handoff.)
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/delta/SKILL.md §2.1 (the four-surface mesh, δ side) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §3.1 Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Verbatim; folded with the γ-side mesh row in §2 into one canonical mesh declaration.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/delta/SKILL.md §2.3 (empirical anchors: cnos#389 Python-not-Go; cnos#391 wrong package scoping; cnos#392 first δ-pinned cycle; cnos#393 first-class template) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md §5 ("Empirical anchors") Sub 3 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/dispatch/SKILL.md. Expanded to also cover cnos#397 (Phase 4a) and the #406–#412 wave.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/alpha/SKILL.md §3.6 (α constraint: do not improvise; surface unpinned rows to γ via gamma-clarification.md) — referenced, not migrated (no destination; stays in cdd; cited from cnos.handoff dispatch skill) Sub 3 Pointer-only. The α constraint is consumer-side cycle-lifecycle doctrine (how α reads the implementation contract); the wire format itself is in cnos.handoff. Sub 6 sweeps the citation.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/beta/SKILL.md Role Rules Rule 7 (β verification: verify diff conforms to every pinned axis; non-conformance → RC severity D classification implementation-contract) — referenced, not migrated (no destination; stays in cdd; cited from cnos.handoff dispatch skill) Sub 3 Pointer-only. Same reasoning as α constraint — consumer-side cycle-lifecycle doctrine.
(Optional) lift the 7 axes from Markdown table into typed schema at schemas/handoff/implementation-contract.cue schemas/handoff/implementation-contract.cue Deferred (Sub 3 ruling) Q2 ruling (Sub 3 / cnos#417): schema stays Markdown for v0.1. The Markdown table γ injects into the α prompt is the canonical rendering; a CUE schema is not authored. Re-evaluate if a downstream consumer (CCNF-O Track A; cn cdd verify) needs a typed shape.

4. Mid-flight gamma-clarification.md mechanism (§Mid-flight) — Sub 4

Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md. Landed via cnos#418 (Sub 4 of cnos#404). The wire-format invariant (file path, authoring role, reader role, trigger conditions, cache-bust function, resumption protocol, spec-staleness propagation invariant) moved into the new sub-skill. Per the Sub 4 dispatcher's ruling on the cnos.cds mid-flight clarification row: option (b) — cnos.handoff owns the wire-format invariant; cnos.cds keeps the v0.1 software-cycle operational realization (the gh issue edit + git commit + git push shell sequence) and cites cnos.handoff for the invariant. The cnos#391 empirical anchor is the canonical demonstration.

Source family (pre-migration):

Empirical anchor: cnos#391 rescue, 2026-05-21 — the cycle where the mechanism first crystallized as a γ→in-flight-α channel. Source content: file path (.cdd/unreleased/{N}/gamma-clarification.md on cycle/{N}); authoring role (γ or operator); reader role (in-flight α or β); trigger conditions (axis re-pin, scope clarification, AC clarification, blocker resolution, issue-body edit, spec change on origin/main); semantics (in-flight α/β reads the file at next polling cycle; counts as a wake-up event); cache-bust function (cycle-branch SHA transition is the canonical signal; GitHub issue mtime is unreliable for MCP-cached intake); resumption protocol (acknowledge / re-scope / stop and escalate / continue under protest). Migration sub: Sub 4 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#418. Destination commitment: cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md — new sub-skill, authored from the empirical anchor + the wire-format invariant extracted from cnos.cds and cnos.cdd surfaces. Status: complete (Sub 4 / cnos#418).

Source (path + §-anchor) Destination (path under cnos.handoff/) Sub Note
(no canonical home) cnos#391 empirical anchor cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md (entire file; new authoring) Sub 4 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md. Authored from empirical anchor + wire-format invariants extracted from cdd-gamma and cds-coordination-surfaces source surfaces. File path / authoring role / reader role / trigger conditions / semantics / cache-bust function / resumption protocol are the section structure.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 cite (line 242: "Mid-cycle contract changes are logged in .cdd/unreleased/{N}/gamma-clarification.md") (cite migrates: cdd cite now points at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md) Sub 4 (cite update); Sub 6 (sweep) Status: v0.1 cite-pointer added. cdd-side keeps the role-local procedure mention; the canonical wire-format home is now cited as cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md. Sub 6 sweeps remaining cites during cross-reference cleanup.
cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Coordination surfaces" → "Mid-flight clarification" (post-#411 canonical for issue-edit cache-bust aspect) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md §"Issue-edit cache-bust" (canonical wire-format) + cnos.cds section (v0.1 operational realization) Sub 4 Status: v0.1 migrated per Sub 4 ruling: option (b) — wire-format invariant lands at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md; the operational realization (the gh issue edit + git commit + git push shell sequence γ runs) stays at cnos.cds as the v0.1 software-cycle overlay. cnos.cds CDS.md §"Mid-flight clarification" appends a pointer line citing the wire-format canonical home.
(folded) cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Spec-staleness propagation" (lines 272–278; the gamma-coordination.md cousin of gamma-clarification.md for long-lived polling sessions) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md §2.6 "Spec-staleness propagation" Sub 4 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md §2.6. The wire-format invariant ("γ writes a coordination note when spec changes mid-flight; cycle branch is the substrate") lives at cnos.handoff; the consumer-specific file list (which cdd skill files trigger propagation) stays at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Spec-staleness propagation" as the cdd-side consumer realization.

5. .cdd/unreleased/{N}/ artifact channel rules (§Artifact-channel) — Sub 4

Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/artifact-channel/SKILL.md. Landed via cnos#418 (Sub 4 of cnos#404). The wire-format invariants (channel-directory path pattern, per-role write ownership pattern, sequential α→β→γ rule, frozen-snapshot rule on merge, release-time directory move, cross-cycle aggregation pointer) moved into the new sub-skill. Per the Sub 4 dispatcher's rulings on the cnos.cds rows: Location matrix + Ownership matrix + Ordered flow stay canonical at cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Artifact contract" (consumer-protocol-specific; CDR has different artifacts); the wire-format pattern is canonical at cnos.handoff. The new handoff skill cites cnos.cds for the CDS-specific instantiation; cnos.cds appends a pointer line acknowledging the wire-format canonical home.

Source family (pre-migration): Post-cnos#411 canonical home is cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Artifact contract" — specifically the sub-sections → "Location matrix" (canonical paths for self-coherence.md, beta-review.md, alpha-closeout.md, beta-closeout.md, gamma-closeout.md, cdd-iteration.md, RELEASE.md, the version-snapshot directory, the PRA, the cross-repo trace dir), → "Ownership matrix" (per-role artifact ownership: α owns self-coherence + alpha-closeout; β owns beta-review + beta-closeout; γ owns gamma-closeout + scaffold + cdd-iteration), → "Ordered flow" (the 13-stage flow), and → "Frozen snapshot rule" (artifacts in .cdd/unreleased/{N}/ freeze on merge). Pre-#411 home: cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/CDD.md (pre-#402; the channel rules were folded into the CCNF kernel before the cnos#403 wave extracted them to cds). Source content: Sequential α→β→γ handoff over the cycle directory; per-role write ownership (α writes alpha-closeout; β writes beta-review then beta-closeout; γ writes gamma-scaffold + gamma-closeout + cdd-iteration); freeze-on-merge semantics; release-time move from .cdd/unreleased/{N}/ to .cdd/releases/{X.Y.Z}/{N}/ (or .cdd/releases/docs/{ISO-date}/{N}/ for docs-only releases). Migration sub: Sub 4 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#418. Destination commitment: cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/artifact-channel/SKILL.md — new sub-skill. Status: complete (Sub 4 / cnos#418).

cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Artifact contract" → "Location matrix" (canonical paths under .cdd/unreleased/{N}/) (canonical stays at cnos.cds; pointer at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/artifact-channel/SKILL.md §2.2 "Per-role write ownership") Sub 4 Status: v0.1 pointer-only per Sub 4 ruling — option (c). The path patterns (.cdd/unreleased/{N}/<artifact>.md) are wire-format and named in artifact-channel §2.1; the specific filename set (self-coherence; beta-review; etc.) is consumer-protocol-specific (CDS-shaped; CDR has different artifacts) and stays canonical at cnos.cds. cnos.handoff cites cnos.cds for the per-consumer filename set.
cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Artifact contract" → "Ownership matrix" (α/β/γ/δ/ε per-artifact ownership) (canonical stays at cnos.cds; pattern at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/artifact-channel/SKILL.md §2.2 "Per-role write ownership") Sub 4 Status: v0.1 pointer-only per Sub 4 ruling — option (c). The ownership pattern (per-cycle artifact has exactly one owning role at write time; sibling roles read but do not modify) lives at cnos.handoff; the specific per-artifact assignment (which role owns which file with which verification gate) is CDS-specific and stays at cnos.cds.
cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Artifact contract" → "Ordered flow" (13-stage flow: design → contract → plan → tests → code → docs → self-coherence → review → gate → release → observe → assess → close) (canonical stays at cnos.cds; pattern at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/artifact-channel/SKILL.md §2.3 "Sequential rule") Sub 4 Status: v0.1 pointer-only per Sub 4 ruling — option (c). The sequential invariant (α before β; β before γ; γ-scaffold cycle-start exception) lives at cnos.handoff; the specific 13-stage flow is CDS-specific (CDR has a different flow) and stays at cnos.cds.
cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Artifact contract" → "Frozen snapshot rule" (artifacts in .cdd/unreleased/{N}/ freeze on merge; release-time move discipline) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/artifact-channel/SKILL.md §2.4 "Frozen-snapshot rule (release-time move)" Sub 4 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/artifact-channel/SKILL.md §2.4 per Sub 4 ruling — option (a). The frozen-snapshot rule is wire-format (post-merge immutability of the channel directory; release-time directory rename); cnos.cds gets a pointer line and the v0.1 operational realization stays at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/release/SKILL.md §2.5a.

Resolved open question (Sub 4 dispatcher, cnos#418): Per-row rulings recorded above. Location matrix + Ownership matrix + Ordered flow stay canonical at cnos.cds (consumer-protocol-specific); Frozen-snapshot rule migrates to cnos.handoff (wire-format). The boundary preserves CDS as the canonical home for the CDS-class per-artifact contract while putting the wire-format invariants in their dedicated package.


6. cdd-iteration.md receipt-stream + INDEX.md aggregator (§Receipt-stream) — Sub 5

Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/receipt-stream/SKILL.md. Landed via cnos#419 (Sub 5 of cnos#404). The per-finding shape (six top-level fields + per-disposition sub-fields), the INDEX.md row format (eight pipe-separated columns), the cadence rule (required when protocol_gap_count > 0; courtesy empty-findings stub when 0 per cycle/401), the finding-disposition vocabulary (patch-landed / next-MCA / no-patch), and the cross-repo trace bundle invariant moved into the new sub-skill. The schema-lift question (Q-equivalent at row §6 — schemas/handoff/iteration-finding.cue) was deferred per Sub 3 precedent (Q2 ruling) — schema stays Markdown for v0.1. The .cdd/iterations/INDEX.md content rows stayed put (file is data, not doctrine). cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/post-release/SKILL.md §5.6b is now a short pointer paragraph; the §-anchor is preserved for backward-compatible citation. Cross-references in cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/epsilon/SKILL.md §1 + cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/activation/SKILL.md + cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md + cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/artifact-channel/SKILL.md were repaired.

Source family (pre-migration): cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/post-release/SKILL.md §5.6b "Author cdd-iteration.md (when applicable)" (lines 293–340 at source pin) + .cdd/iterations/INDEX.md (the aggregator file itself; one row per cycle). Source content: Cadence rule (cdd-iteration.md required only when protocol_gap_count > 0); per-finding shape (F1, F2, … with Source / Class / Trigger / Description / Root cause / Disposition fields; sub-fields per disposition: patch-landed / next-MCA / no-patch); aggregator-update procedure (one row per cycle in INDEX.md with Cycle / Issue / Date / Findings / Patches / MCAs / No-patch / Path columns); cross-repo trace bundle (when a finding's disposition is patch-landed with Cross-repo target, γ creates a bundle at .cdd/iterations/cross-repo/{counterpart-repo}/{slug}/ per cross-repo skill); empty-findings courtesy stub allowance (backward compatibility). Migration sub: Sub 5 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#419. Destination commitment: cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/receipt-stream/SKILL.md — new sub-skill. The receipt-stream is cross-cycle handoff (one cycle's γ writes; the ε reader at any later cycle consumes); fits cleanly in cnos.handoff. Status: complete (Sub 5 / cnos#419).

Verbatim move. Note: the cdd-iteration.md filename itself becomes consumer-specific in time (cds has its own cds-iteration.md analogue per cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Closure"); the wire-format rule is "the cycle's iteration receipt" regardless of filename.
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/post-release/SKILL.md §5.6b → "Per-finding shape" (lines 305–326: F1, F2, … with Source / Class / Trigger / Description / Root cause / Disposition + sub-fields) cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/receipt-stream/SKILL.md §1 "Per-finding shape" Sub 5 Status: v0.1 migrated; canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/receipt-stream/SKILL.md §1.

Verbatim move; the bundle-creation rule is wire-format (it composes with the cross-repo skill row §1). The cross-repo skill cite resolves at the new home (cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/cross-repo/SKILL.md, the Sub 2 destination).
.cdd/iterations/INDEX.md (the aggregator file itself; 23+ rows at source pin; one per cycle) (file stays at .cdd/iterations/INDEX.md; not migrated) Sub 5 Status: content unchanged (only this cycle's standard close-out row added). The aggregator file is data, not doctrine; it does not move. The doctrine (how to update it) moves. The filename will eventually become consumer-specific (the cds analogue would be .cds/iterations/INDEX.md); cnos.handoff records the pattern (per-protocol-package aggregator at a known path).
cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Closure" (cds-side cycle-iteration trigger references that cite §5.6b in cdd) (cite migrates: cds cite now points at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/receipt-stream/SKILL.md) Sub 5 (cite update); Sub 6 (sweep) Status: pointer-resolvescnos.cdd/skills/cdd/post-release/SKILL.md §5.6b is now a pointer to the new canonical home; existing CDS.md cites of §5.6b resolve through the pointer. Sub 6 sweeps the cite to the direct new-canonical path.

7. Polling primitives (§Polling) — Sub 5 or deferred (boundary contested)

Status: v0.1 deferred-by-design. Per the Sub 5 / cnos#419 decision (and Q4 resolution in §11), polling primitives were not absorbed into cnos.handoff during the v0.1 wave. Canonical doctrine remains at cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Coordination surfaces" → "Polling primitives" (post-#411); operational realization at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/harness/SKILL.md §5.4. Re-evaluate when a non-CDD/CDS consumer (CDR or future c-d-X) needs the primitives.

Source family: cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/harness/SKILL.md §5.4 (single-named-branch transition loop; Monitor-wrapped polling; reachability re-probe; transition-only emission). Post-cnos#411 canonical doctrine is in cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md §"Coordination surfaces" → "Polling primitives"; operational realization remains in cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/harness/SKILL.md §5.4. Source content: Polling query forms (gh / MCP / git); wake-up mechanism; reachability preflight; transition-only emission discipline; synchronous baseline pull; git fetch reliability re-probe. Migration sub: Sub 5 of cnos#404 (or deferred to a post-#404 cycle). Destination commitment: Open. The polling primitives are wire-format (γ observes α/β progress on the cycle branch); but the operational realization is runtime-substrate (harness mechanics). Recommendation: defer — leave canonical in cnos.cds + operational in cnos.cdd/harness; do not duplicate in cnos.handoff for v0.1. Re-evaluate when a non-CDD/CDS consumer (CDR or future c-d-X) needs to reuse the primitives.

Source (path + §-anchor) Destination (path under cnos.handoff/) Sub Note
cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/harness/SKILL.md §5.4 (operational mechanics) (no destination; stays in cdd as runtime substrate) Sub 5 or deferred Pointer-only. Cite from cnos.handoff loaders if needed.

The doctrine is wire-format-shaped but the consumer count is still one (CDS); design-skill §3.5 ("interfaces belong to consumers") says wait for substitution pressure.

8. Spec-staleness propagation (§Spec-staleness) — Sub 4 (folded)

Status: v0.1 migrated; wire-format invariant canonical at cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md §2.6. Landed via cnos#418 (Sub 4 of cnos#404). The wire-format invariant ("γ writes a coordination note when spec changes land on origin/main mid-flight; cycle branch is the substrate") moved into the mid-flight sub-skill; the consumer-specific file list (which cdd skill files trigger propagation) stays at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Spec-staleness propagation" as the cdd-side consumer realization.

Source family (pre-migration): cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Spec-staleness propagation" (lines 272–278 at source pin). Source content: Identity-rotation mode (each role invocation loads skills fresh from the filesystem; the next dispatch picks them up); long-lived polling sessions (γ writes a coordination note to .cdd/unreleased/{N}/gamma-coordination.md on cycle/{N} naming the spec change and affected skill path); when to propagate (changes to CDD.md, role skill files, release/SKILL.md, review/SKILL.md landing on main while in-flight); when not to propagate (changes outside the cdd package; doc-only; issues/threads). Migration sub: Sub 4 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#418. Folded into mid-flight (row §4) because the mechanism is a γ-writes-to-in-flight-α/β channel. Destination commitment: cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/mid-flight/SKILL.md §2.6 "Spec-staleness propagation". Status: complete (Sub 4 / cnos#418).

The invariant (γ writes a coordination note when spec changes mid-flight; cycle branch is the substrate; gamma-coordination.md is the filename) is wire-format and lives at cnos.handoff. The consumer-specific file list (which cdd skill files trigger propagation — CDD.md / role skills / release / review) stays at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/gamma/SKILL.md §2.5 → "Spec-staleness propagation" as the cdd-side consumer realization.

9. Cross-reference cleanup + close tracker (§Cleanup) — Sub 6

Status: v0.1 complete; cnos#404 wave closed 2026-05-22. Landed via cnos#420 (Sub 6 of cnos#404). The residual citation sweep across cnos.cdd / cnos.cdr / cnos.cds confirmed that all canonical-home statements correctly name cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/<area>/SKILL.md; old-path cites that remain are uniformly framed as "consumer-side", "role-side realization", "pointer", or "runbook (pointer to canonical home)" — the cdd-side surfaces correctly self-describe as consumers of the new canonical doctrine. The 28-line compatibility stub at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md is preserved for backward compatibility (Sub 6 D6 decision; see Sub 6's gamma-closeout). The .cdd/iterations/INDEX.md header was re-pointed from cdd/post-release/SKILL.md to cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/receipt-stream/SKILL.md as the canonical wire-format home. Historical post-release-assessment documents under docs/gamma/cdd/docs/2026-05-*/ were left untouched (immutable archival records of past cycles). cnos.cdr was not modified (no residual cites discovered).

Source family: N/A — this is the cleanup sub, not an extraction sub. Source content: All cross-references in cnos.cdd/, cnos.cdr/, cnos.cds/, and docs/gamma/ essays that cite handoff-class surfaces. Per-citation update: cite the new cnos.handoff/skills/handoff/<area>/SKILL.md canonical home rather than the pre-migration cdd / cds path. Migration sub: Sub 6 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#420. Destination commitment: N/A — Sub 6 modifies citations in cdd / cdr / cds / docs; does not author new cnos.handoff surfaces.

10. Coverage verification

The six required surface families per cnos#415 D2 + the two additional discovered surfaces + the close-out row are all covered:

Required surface family per cnos#415 D2 Covered in section §
1. Cross-repo state machine + bundles (Sub 2) §1
2. Dispatch-prompt template (Sub 3) §2
3. Implementation-contract schema (Sub 3) §3
4. Mid-flight gamma-clarification.md mechanism (Sub 4) §4
5. .cdd/unreleased/{N}/ artifact channel rules (Sub 4) §5
6. cdd-iteration.md receipt-stream + INDEX.md aggregator (Sub 5) §6
(additional) Polling primitives (Sub 5 or deferred) §7
(additional) Spec-staleness propagation (Sub 4 folded) §8
Sub 6 — cross-reference cleanup + close tracker §9

Mechanical check: grep -c "^## " src/packages/cnos.handoff/docs/extraction-map.md returns ≥ 6 (currently 11 ## headings under §0–§11 in this file).

Sub 6 of cnos#404 — closed via cnos#420 on 2026-05-22 — completed the citation sweep across cdd / cdr / cds / docs against this map: every citation either resolves (content migrated to the named cnos.handoff destination) or updates (citation re-pointed at the cnos.handoff surface named above). No citation was silently dropped. Verified: cnos.cdd consumer skills correctly self-describe as consumers of the new canonical wire-format home; the 28-line compatibility stub at cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/cross-repo/SKILL.md is preserved for backward compatibility; the .cdd/iterations/INDEX.md header was re-pointed to the canonical receipt-stream home; historical post-release-assessment documents (immutable archival records) were not edited.

11. Open questions

These were noted for the operator dispatching Subs 2–6 against this map; all are resolved as of 2026-05-22 (cnos#404 wave closed via cnos#420).

  • Q1 (Sub 2 scope). Does Sub 2 move cross-repo/SKILL.md wholesale (644 lines as one file), or split into cross-repo/{status,bundles,lineage,feedback,archival}/SKILL.md sub-files? Resolved (Sub 2 / cnos#416): wholesale move accepted; splitting deferred to a post-#404 cycle if consumer pressure reveals which sub-surfaces churn independently.
  • Q2 (Sub 3 schema lift). Does Sub 3 lift the implementation-contract 7-axes table to a typed schema at schemas/handoff/implementation-contract.cue, or keep as Markdown table? Resolved (Sub 3 / cnos#417): Markdown preserved for v0.1; schemas/handoff/ deferred. Sub 5 / cnos#419 applied the same Q2 precedent to the per-finding shape and INDEX row format.
  • Q3 (Sub 4 unification). Does Sub 4 unify mid-flight + artifact-channel into one skills/handoff/intra-cycle/SKILL.md, or keep them split? Resolved (Sub 4 / cnos#418): split. Mid-flight is asynchronous γ→in-flight-α; artifact-channel is sequential α→β→γ; different rates of fire.
  • Q4 (Sub 5 polling absorption). Does Sub 5 absorb harness/SKILL.md §5.4 polling primitives, or leave as cnos.cdd runtime substrate? Resolved (Sub 5 / cnos#419): not absorbed in v0.1; deferred per §7 row. Re-evaluate when a non-CDD/CDS consumer (CDR or future c-d-X) needs the primitives.
  • Q5 (Sub 4 + Sub 5 cds-source rows). Migration-semantics-undecided rows. Resolved (Subs 4 and 5): per-row recommendation accepted; wire-format invariants moved to cnos.handoff; consumer-specific per-artifact realizations stayed in cnos.cds.
  • Q6 (Sub 6 scope of sweep). Sub 6's citation sweep covers cnos.cdd / cnos.cdr / cnos.cds skill files. Does it also cover docs/gamma/essays/*.md and docs/gamma/cdd/RATIONALE.md? Resolved (Sub 6 / cnos#420): scope clarified to cover live citation surfaces (cdd / cdr / cds / handoff skill files + the .cdd/iterations/INDEX.md header). Historical post-release-assessment documents under docs/gamma/cdd/docs/2026-05-*/ were explicitly excluded — they are immutable archival records of past cycles that describe what was true at the cycle's pin, not current canonical citations. docs/gamma/essays/*.md audited: no old-path-as-canonical residuals found.
  • Q7 (HANDOFF.md authoring sub). Sub 2 is the largest extraction (cross-repo wholesale); should Sub 2 also land HANDOFF.md, or should HANDOFF.md wait for Sub 3? Resolved (Sub 2 / cnos#416): HANDOFF.md landed under Sub 2 (recommendation revised at dispatch); cross-repo's substantive doctrine provided the first-pass directional-case taxonomy that the later subs (3–5) refined.

All seven open questions resolved during the wave; the destinations named in the per-surface tables above are stable. No carried-forward open questions to a post-#404 cycle aside from the deferred-by-design polling absorption (Q4 / §7) and the cross-repo file-split exploration (Q1).
