## 4. What Was Just Completed
Experiment 33 created four task-specific context packs — one for each work type — giving each a minimal four-document starting set plus targeted reading paths. Routing tests for engine and UI tasks passed. No source code changed. No additional context was required beyond the existing documents.
Experiment 34 consolidated scattered return-to-work notes into a single handoff file at `docs/current-handoff.md`, replacing the growing list of current-state entries in `docs/current-project-state.md`. This tested whether one living document could replace accumulated history without losing navigation value. No source code changed. No files moved or deleted.
**Commit:** `b959cfa` (experiment: create task-specific context packs)
**Commit:** `1d92aa0` (experiment: create single return-to-work handoff)
## 5. What Remains Open
- Whether a single handoff is enough to resume accurately after an extended break;
- Whether the handoff stays accurate and concise after further project advances (tested by this experiment);
- Whether tasks crossing pack boundaries can still stay concise without loading excessive context;
- Whether old return notes should remain historical evidence rather than being treated as current;
- When knowledge-management work is complete enough to resume engine experiments.
### When This Knowledge-Management Phase Is Complete
Provisional criteria for review (not yet declared complete):
1. A fresh session can resume from the handoff and one context pack;
2. Current state has been verified against implementation;
3. Historical material is outside default loading;
4. Current principles are separated from aspirational architecture;
5. Task-specific routing works for engine and UI tasks;
6. A cross-boundary task has been tested;
7. Maintaining the handoff does not require reading the full history.
## 6. How to Resume
1. Read `docs/current-handoff.md`.

### Return-to-Work Note (Experiment 35)
Experiment 35 tested handoff maintenance after another knowledge-management experiment completed. Stale experiment and commit wording was corrected — the handoff now names Experiment 34 as the latest completed KM experiment and `1d92aa0` as the latest confirmed commit. Provisional knowledge-management completion criteria are recorded in Section 5. Engine and UI experiments remain paused; knowledge-management remains active. First file to inspect when resuming: `docs/current-handoff.md`, then `docs/task-context-packs.md`.
