Run log and handoff notes
The run log is the record of a build: one file per build plan, in the workpad's reports/ folder (name it per the workpad skill, e.g. <YYYY-MM-DD-hh>-<slug>-run.md). Each phase appends to it. The phase reviewer reads it; a successor Athanor starts from it.
Rules:
- Take every time from
datewhen you write it. Never estimate or count forward by feel. - Durations in summaries come from git commit times.
- Stamp the exact model id from your system prompt. If you dispatched an agent and its id is unknown, write "unknown", not a guess.
- Totals stay provisional until the phase review, fix pass and re-check have closed.

# Run log — <plan title>
- Plan: <path> · Build plan: <path>
- Branch: <branch> · Start commit: <hash>
- Trunk notes: <path>
- Athanor: <model id> · Session journal: <path>
Per phase
## Phase <N> — <title>
| Block | Owner (model id) | Commit | Tokens (if known) |
|---|---|---|---|
Handoff note (one per block, written by the block's owner)
A few lines per block: findings, not narration. "none" is the normal answer for deviations and flags, and a real deviation or doubt is never left out.
### Block <N.M> — <title>
- Model: <exact id>
- Start / end: <`date` output> / <`date` output>
- Done: <what changed, in one or two lines>
- Deviations from plan: <what, and why, including size well over the plan's estimate> — or "none"
- Flagged for review: <a point you are unsure of, e.g. a semantic the plan left open> — or "none"
- Left for later: <work deferred to a later block or phase>
- Expected broken: <areas that do not build or pass yet, and which block fixes them>
- Commits: <hashes>
Phase close (written by the Athanor)
### Phase <N> close
- Gate: <command> — <result>
- Tests: <command> — <result> (fallout fixed in block <N.M>)
- Flags for the reviewer: the deviations and flags from the block notes above, one line each with its block — or "none" when the notes have none.
- Not run / untested: <behaviour the plan names that no test or gate ran> — or "none"
- Status: provisional until review, fix pass and re-check close.
After the review, Igor (or the fixer) appends the review report path, the fix-pass commits, the re-check result, and the minors logged as follow-ups.
Trunk notes (written by the Athanor at intake)
Short, for the next agent that has not read the code: key files and seams, invariants the phase touches, every consumer of a changed semantic, the gate command, known traps. A page, not a design document.
