"Rest is not the end unless the memory is lost. To hibernate is to prepare for rebirth."
1. 🏛️ The Philosophy of Hibernation
The End-of-Day (EOD) is the critical "Save Game" point for the project. The Human Architect is tired, cognitive load is dropping, and the risk of "lazy commits" is high.
The EOD Ritual exists to safeguard the Deep State of Mind. It ensures that even if the Human sleeps for a week, the next reanimation will be perfectly context-aweare. It is about closing the loop.
2. 🔄 The Workflow (How to do it)
Step 1: The Context Consolidation (AI & Human)
Before running the tools, the Human asks the AI to help finalize the artifacts.
Update Task List: Mark completed items. Move "In Progress" items to "Next Session".
Update Walkthrough: Create a "Session Anchor" summarizing what was done and why.
Update Plan: Adjust the roadmap if reality shifted today.
Step 2: The Hibernation Sequence (System)
The script automates the safety checks for a tired human.
Command: bash tools/hibernation.sh (or .\tools\hibernation.ps1 on Windows).
What it Checks:
Dirty Artifacts: Are task.md and walkthrough.md updated?
Uncommitted Code: Are there dangling changes?
Next Steps: It vividly displays exactly what is left for tomorrow.
Step 3: The Final Push (Human)
The script will prompt for a final "Hibernation Commit".
This commit is special: it signals a clean break.
The Architect pushes to GitHub, verifying the "Green Light" of safety.
3. 🧠 What the AI Must Display
The Hibernation Tool must be Sleepy-Friendly:
Big, Clear Text: No complex logs. Just "DONE" and "TODO".
Safety Nets: explicitly warn if critical files (like task.md) haven't been touched in the last hour.
Positive Reinforcement: summarized what was accomplished to provide a sense of closure.
4. 🛑 Stop Conditions
The EOD is INCOMPLETE if:
The script indicates task.md has no checked items for today.
The walkthrough.md is missing a new Session Anchor.
There are uncommitted changes in the src/ or docs/ directories.
DO NOT SLEEP until the Hibernation Sequence returns GREEN.
