Handoff
Handoff is the continuity surface for pause and resume.
Instead of relying on conversational summaries alone, Aionis stores a structured packet that can carry work forward between sessions or operators.
Typical handoff fields include:
- summary
- handoff text
- target files
- next action
- acceptance checks
- recovery context
Why this matters
Most agent resumes are brittle because they rely on prose that is not execution-ready.
A good handoff should let the next run answer:
- where do I go first
- what should change
- what should stay untouched
- what check should confirm success
Current Lite shape
Lite exposes local handoff persistence and recovery through the supported runtime surface.
This makes handoff especially useful for:
- long-running repairs
- review checkpoints
- interrupted local workflows
- task sessions opened through the host bridge
