Draft proposal. A schema'd, doctor-gated, milestone-triggered handoff. Load-bearing piece is the baton doctor: a baton is refused at write time if its receipts do not resolve against the repo (git/file/grep). Includes storage, boot surfacing, fan-out into open_thread/method-candidate, staged rollout, acceptance criteria, and four open decisions.

Draft proposal for
baton()— a receipt-verified, milestone-triggered handoff for T2Helix. Docs only, no code; this is the spec for review before any implementation.What it is: a schema'd, doctor-gated checkpoint an instance authors at a milestone. Distinct from
passdown(freeform prose),record_method(procedures), andverified_by(optional receipts) — it is the union, gated.Load-bearing piece (§5, the baton doctor): a baton is refused at write time if its receipts don't resolve against the repo (git commit exists / file exists / grep matches). It is
release:doctorapplied to memory. Strip the doctor and it is just a structured passdown.Why it fits the thesis (guardrails + audit for AI coding agents): a baton is a handoff where every load-bearing claim points at a checkable artifact, not a vibe. It would have caught this session's own error — a claim about "current code" whose STE fix was still uncommitted working-tree state fails the
git_commitreceipt by design (acceptance criterion #2).Contents: schema, doctor rules,
record_batoncontract, storage + boot surfacing, fan-out intoopen_thread/method-candidate, redaction, staged rollout (MVP explicit-only → measure → promote), acceptance criteria, and four open decisions for review (§13).Review gate per T2Helix convention — no merge without Anthony's call.
