# HyperTwist Phase S3-A first-party continuity and resume skills preparation packet

Created on `2026-05-29`

## Status

- first-party HyperTwist packet
- source-backed `Phase S3-A` preparation/control slice

## Purpose

This packet scopes the bounded first-party continuity and resume skill seam
under the canonical `Skillization And Command Surface` doctrine.

The granted slice is:

- `resume-session`
- `search-history`
- continuity-family `capture-note` state and owner-gated readiness

It is not:

- active user-authored note capture
- broader recall/compact-view skill widening
- workflow-memory capture widening

## Current authority basis

This control pass stands on:

- `docs/ops/HYPERTWIST_SKILLIZATION_AND_COMMAND_SURFACE_DOCTRINE_2026-05-21.md`
- `docs/ops/HYPERTWIST_OPTIONAL_ASSISTIVE_FEATURE_DEACTIVATION_AND_REMOVABILITY_DOCTRINE_2026-05-21.md`

## Granted family

The bounded `Phase S3-A` slice may land:

1. registry promotion for continuity-family skills
2. explicit first-party continuity/resume aggregate state
3. live continuity skills that read authoritative memory stores
4. owner-gated non-live continuity-family note-capture readiness
5. sample contract helpers and JSON round-trip coverage

The packet must stay out of:

- active user-authored note capture
- compact-view and broader recall skill widening
- workflow-memory capture widening

## Proposed implementation shape

Land the narrower first-party boundary through:

- registry entries for:
  - `skill/resume-session`
  - `skill/search-history`
  - `skill/capture-note`
- explicit continuity/resume skill types and aggregate state
- first-party derivation over the landed registry, control-state,
  authoring-harness, `6R-M2` chronicle/continuity, `6R-M3` recall/shared-context,
  and `6R-M5` knowledge/notes seams
- sample contract helpers for:
  - continuity/resume-state derivation
  - JSON serialization
  - JSON deserialization
- focused automation in:
  - `HyperTwistSkillPhaseS3AContinuityResumeContractTest.cpp`

## Validation target

Validate with:

- Unreal build for `UnrealHyperTwistEditor Win64 Development`
- focused automation:
  - `HyperTwist.FirstParty.Skill.PhaseS3A.ContinuityResumeCoverage`
  - `HyperTwist.FirstParty.Skill.PhaseS3A.AuthoritativeStoreRead`
  - `HyperTwist.FirstParty.Skill.PhaseS3A.SerializationRoundTrip`

## Queue effect

If this packet lands cleanly:

- `S3-A` is consumed
- `S3-B` becomes the next clean move
- active note capture remains separately deferred
