+## Session Protocol
+
+State Hub: http://127.0.0.1:8000
+
+**Step 1 — Orient**
+
+Read the offline-safe brief first — it works without a live hub connection:
+```bash
+cat .custodian-brief.md
+```
+Then call the MCP tool for richer cross-domain context when MCP tools are exposed:
+```
+get_domain_summary("railiance")
+```
+If MCP tools are unavailable in the current agent session, use the REST API:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/state/summary" | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+If the hub is offline: `cd ~/state-hub && make api`
+
+**Step 2 — Check inbox**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+get_messages(to_agent="railiance-cluster", unread_only=True)
+```
+Mark read with `mark_message_read(message_id)`. Reply or act on coordination
+requests before proceeding.
+
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=railiance-cluster&unread_only=true" \
+  | python3 -m json.tool
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
+```
+
+**Step 3 — Scan workplans**
+```bash
+ls workplans/
+```
+For each file with `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked`, note pending
+`todo`/`in_progress` tasks.
+
+**Step 4 — Present brief**
+
+1. **Active workstreams** for `railiance` — title, task counts, blocking decisions
+2. **Pending tasks** from `workplans/` + any `[repo:railiance-cluster]` hub tasks
+3. **Goal guidance** — if `goal_guidance` in summary:
+   - `needs_workplan`: surface as top action — *"Repo goal '{title}' has no workplan yet"*
+   - `alignment_warnings`: flag if active work is not aligned with current goal
+4. **Suggested next action** — highest-priority open item
+5. **SBOM status** — flag if `last_sbom_at` is unset for this repo
+
+If no workstreams: follow First Session Protocol (`first-session.md`).
+
+**During work:** `record_decision()` · `add_progress_event()` · `resolve_decision()`
+
+> State Hub is a *read model*. Bootstrap tools (`create_workstream`, `create_task`)
+> are First Session Protocol only. Work structure belongs in repo files (ADR-001).
+
+**Session close:**
+With MCP tools:
+```
+add_progress_event(summary="...", topic_id="ca369340-a64e-442e-98f1-a4fa7dc74a38", workstream_id="<uuid>")
+```
+Without MCP tools:
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"topic_id":"ca369340-a64e-442e-98f1-a4fa7dc74a38","workstream_id":"<uuid>","event_type":"note","summary":"what changed","author":"codex"}'
+```
+If workplan files were modified, ensure the local copy is up to date first:
+```bash
+git -C <repo_path> pull --ff-only
+cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency REPO=railiance-cluster
+```
+For repos where implementation runs on a remote machine (e.g. CoulombCore),
+use the combined target which pulls before fixing:
+```bash
+cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency-remote REPO=railiance-cluster
+```
+**C-15** (DB task ahead of file) is normal in multi-machine workflows — writeback
+will sync the file to match DB.  **C-16** (repo behind remote) blocks all writes
+until you pull — intentional to prevent clobbering remote progress.

+ID prefix: `RAILIANCE-WP`
+
+Work items originate as files in this repo **before** being registered in the hub.
+
+Canonical workplan/workstream frontmatter statuses are:
+`proposed`, `ready`, `active`, `blocked`, `backlog`, `finished`, `archived`.
+Use `proposed` for a newly drafted plan, `ready` after review against current

+`needs_review` are derived health labels, not stored statuses.
+
+Closed workplans may be moved to `workplans/archived/` with a completion-date
+prefix: `YYMMDD-railiance-cluster-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The frontmatter id remains
+unchanged; the prefix is only for quick visual reference.
+
+Small opportunistic tasks discovered during another session use **Ad Hoc Tasks**:
+`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md`, workstream slug `adhoc-YYYY-MM-DD`, and task ids
+`ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, `T02`, etc. Use adhocs only for low-risk work completed
+directly. Promote anything requiring analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or
+multiple planned phases into a normal workplan.
+
+Ecosystem todos from other agents arrive as `[repo:railiance-cluster]` hub tasks —
+visible at session start. Pick one up by creating the workplan file, then registering
+the workstream.

+## State Hub Integration
+
+The Custodian State Hub tracks work across all domains. Interact via HTTP REST —
+there is no MCP server for Codex agents.
+

+| Local workstation | `http://127.0.0.1:8000` |
+| Remote via tunnel | `http://127.0.0.1:18000` |

+```bash
+# Offline brief — works without hub connection
+cat .custodian-brief.md
+
+# Active workstreams for this domain
+curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/workstreams/?topic_id=ca369340-a64e-442e-98f1-a4fa7dc74a38&status=active" \

+```bash
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
+```
+
+### Log progress (required at session close)
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "summary": "what was done",
+    "event_type": "note",
+    "author": "codex",
+    "workstream_id": "<uuid>",
+    "task_id": "<uuid>"
+  }'
+```
+
+Omit `workstream_id` / `task_id` when not applicable.
+
+### Update task status
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"status": "in_progress"}'
+# values: todo | in_progress | done | blocked
+```
+
+### Flag a task for human review
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"needs_human": true, "intervention_note": "reason"}'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Session Protocol
+
+**Start:**
+1. `cat .custodian-brief.md` — domain goal and open workstreams (offline-safe)
+2. Check inbox: `GET /messages/?to_agent=railiance-cluster&unread_only=true`; mark read
+3. Scan workplans: `ls workplans/` — note `status: ready`, `active`, or `blocked` files and open tasks
+4. Check blocked tasks: `GET /tasks/?needs_human=true`
+
+**During work:**
+- Update task statuses in workplan files as tasks progress
+- Record significant decisions via `POST /decisions/`
+
+**Close:**
+1. Update workplan file task statuses to reflect progress
+2. Log: `POST /progress/` with a summary of what changed
+3. Note for the custodian operator: after workplan file changes, run from
+   `~/state-hub`:
+   ```bash
+   make fix-consistency REPO=railiance-cluster
+   ```
+   This syncs task status from files into the hub DB.
+
+---
+
+## Workplan Convention (ADR-001)
+
+Work items originate as files in this repo — not in the hub. The hub is a
+read/cache/index layer that rebuilds from files.
+
+**File location:** `workplans/RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
+
+**Archived location:** finished workplans may move to
+`workplans/archived/YYMMDD-RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The `YYMMDD` prefix is
+the completion/archive date; the frontmatter `id` does not change.
+
+**Ad Hoc Tasks:** small opportunistic fixes discovered during a session use
+`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md` with task ids `ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, etc. Use
+this only for low-risk work completed directly; create a normal workplan for
+anything needing analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or multiple phases.
+
+**Frontmatter:**
+
+```yaml
+---
+id: RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN
+type: workplan
+title: "..."
+domain: railiance
+repo: railiance-cluster
+status: proposed | ready | active | blocked | backlog | finished | archived
+owner: codex
+topic_slug: ...
+created: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+updated: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+state_hub_workstream_id: "<uuid>"   # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
+---
+```
+
+Use `proposed` for a new draft, `ready` after review against current repo
+state, and `finished` after implementation. `stalled` and `needs_review` are
+derived health labels, not frontmatter statuses.
+
+**Task block format** (one per `##` section):
+
+```
+## Task Title
+
+` ` `task
+id: RAILIANCE-WP-NNNN-T01
+status: todo | in_progress | done | blocked
+priority: high | medium | low
+state_hub_task_id: "<uuid>"         # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
+` ` `
+
+Task description text.
+```
+
+Status progression: `todo` → `in_progress` → `done` (or `blocked`)
+
+To create a new workplan:
+1. Write the file following the format above
+2. Notify the custodian operator to run `make fix-consistency REPO=railiance-cluster`
+   (or send a message to the hub agent via `POST /messages/`)

-### Session Protocol
-
-**On receiving your first message — before writing any response text — execute
-this orientation sequence. Do not greet, do not ask what to do first.**
-
-**Step 1 — Call the State Hub**
-```
-get_state_summary()   # orientation: workstreams, decisions, recent progress
-get_next_steps()      # contextual suggestions from resolved decisions
-```
-If the call fails, the API is offline: `cd ~/the-custodian/state-hub && make api`
-
-**Step 2 — Scan local workplans**
-
-Read every `.md` file under `workplans/`. Use `Glob(pattern="**/*.md", path="workplans/")`
-or Bash `ls workplans/` to discover them. For each file with `status: active`,
-extract and note:
-- The workplan title and ID
-- All tasks whose `status` is `todo` or `in_progress`
-
-**Step 3 — Present orientation to the user**
-
-Output a concise brief covering:
-1. **Active workstreams** for the `railiance` domain — title, task counts,
-   any blocking decisions
-2. **Pending tasks for this repo** — from local `workplans/` files (Step 2)
-   plus any state hub tasks with `[repo:railiance-cluster]` in their title
-3. **Goal guidance** — if the summary contains a `goal_guidance` key, act on it:
-   - **`needs_workplan`** entries: for each active repo goal with no linked workstream,
-     surface it as the top suggested action — *"Repo goal '{title}' has no workplan yet.
-     Suggest: create workplans/RAIL-BS-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md and register a workstream
-     with repo_goal_id='{goal_id}'"*. Treat this as higher priority than continuing
-     existing work unless Bernd says otherwise.
-   - **`alignment_warnings`** entries: if active workstreams exist but are not linked
-     to the current repo goal, name the most recently active one and note:
-     *"Current work on '{recent_workstream_title}' may not be aligned with the active
-     goal '{active_goal_title}'. Continue unless you hear otherwise — but flag it."*
-4. **Suggested next action** — the highest-priority open item across all sources,
-   with goal alignment taken into account
-5. **SBOM status** — `last_sbom_at` for `railiance-cluster` is currently null
-   (gap: no lockfile yet — see `workplans/RAIL-BS-WP-0001-dependency-management.md`)
-
-**During work:**
-- Use `record_decision()` for any decision that affects direction or dependencies.
-- Use `add_progress_event()` for notable events (milestones, blockers, insights).
-- Use `resolve_decision()` to close a decision once the choice is made.
-
-> **Design boundary:** The State Hub is a *read model*. Two write operations are
-> permanently sanctioned: **Resolving Decisions** and **Suggesting Next Steps**.
-> Bootstrap tools are only for First Session Protocol. Work structure belongs
-> in the domain repo as files (ADR-001).
-
-**At the end of every session:**
-- Call `add_progress_event()` with a summary of what was accomplished.
-  Include `topic_id: ca369340-a64e-442e-98f1-a4fa7dc74a38` and `workstream_id`.

-### First Session Protocol
-
-Triggered when `get_state_summary()` shows **no workstreams** for `railiance`.
-
-**Step 1** — Read `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/railiance/project_charter_v0.1.md`
-and `roadmap_v0.1.md`, then scan this repo root.
-
-**Step 2** — Survey in-progress work (TODOs, open branches, half-finished files).
-
-**Step 3** — Propose 1–3 workstreams. Wait for approval before creating anything.
-
-**Step 4** — Create workplan file first (`workplans/RAIL-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`),
-then register in hub:
-```
-create_workstream(topic_id="ca369340-a64e-442e-98f1-a4fa7dc74a38", ...)
-create_task(workstream_id="<id>", ...)
-```
-
-**Step 5** — Record setup with `add_progress_event()`.

-
-### Workplan Convention (ADR-001)
-
-Work items originate as files in `workplans/` before being registered in the hub.
-When the custodian creates a task for this repo, it places a workplan file here
-AND creates a state hub task with `[repo:railiance-cluster]` in the title.
-Both appear at session start via the orientation above.

-### Remote Execution & State Hub Tunnel
-
-This repo is designed to be worked on **from the HostEurope server**. The
-State Hub runs on Bernd's local workstation at `127.0.0.1:8000` and is not
-publicly reachable — a reverse SSH tunnel must be open before starting a
-remote session.
-
-**On your local machine, before SSHing to the server:**
-
-```bash
-cd ~/the-custodian/state-hub
-make tunnel HOST=tegwick@92.205.130.254
-```
-
-Keep that terminal open. Then SSH in normally from a second terminal.
-
-**Verify the tunnel is live from the remote:**
-
-```bash
-curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/state/health
-# expected: {"status":"ok"}
-```
-
-**If the tunnel is not up (degraded mode):**
-- The `get_domain_summary` call in Step 1 will fail
-- Skip Step 1 — proceed from local workplans only (Step 2)
-- Log any progress events manually from the local machine after the session
