cross-session-handoff

Manages `.arcgentic/state.yaml` as the shared state medium across multiple AI sessions.

Commands

arcgentic cross-session-handoff read
arcgentic cross-session-handoff write --session-id dev-session --updates '{"current_phase":"dev"}'
arcgentic cross-session-handoff snapshot --session-id audit-session
arcgentic cross-session-handoff acquire-lock --session-id dev-session --ttl 600
arcgentic cross-session-handoff release-lock --session-id dev-session

Rules

  • Reads do not acquire a lock.
  • Writes acquire a TTL lock, write through a temp file, then rename atomically.
  • Snapshots go to `.arcgentic/state-history/`.
  • A session must not overwrite another non-expired lock.
