Codex Appendix C — Handoff log
Placement in the master docs
D3.2 — handoff log atom split from Appendix C seed (D3.1). Charter twin: C3.7. Team ops: B1.11.
Primary master: INITIUM_MASTER_CODEX_v3.3 Appendix C. Series: https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/tree/main/whitepapers/aism-canon
Summary
Appendix C distinguishes pup–owner hand signals (owner email to named pup until APPROVED, then scheduled corpus refresh — “periodic dog school”) from agent-to-agent handoffs on shared desks. Arnie is top coordinator and owns agent-to-agent handoff calls. Every such handoff is logged: relayed_from, relayed_to, seen_prior (whether the receiver saw another seat’s answer first), timestamp in PT, and per-section credit. Rule: no log entry, no delivery to carbon.
Verbatim excerpt
From INITIUM MASTER CODEX v3.3, Appendix C:
Handoffs (Daniel's ruling, 2026-09-26): Owner email reaches the named pup and loops until APPROVED; the scheduled corpus refresh follows. These pup-owner hand signals are the periodic dog school. Agent-to-agent handoffs arise only when a shared desk (Outbound Prospecting, Copy Humanizer, SEO & AEO Desk) works across incoming requests. Arnie is top coordinator and owns handoff calls, with each handoff logged for oversight.
>
Handoff log (Daniel's ruling, 2026-09-26: "I agree. log them all."): Arnie logs every agent-to-agent handoff with
relayed_from,relayed_to,seen_prior(did the receiver see another seat's answer first: no, or yes and which), a timestamp in PT, and per-section credit. Rule: no log entry, no delivery to carbon. Fields and example: the fleet provenance block, v2 (internal).

First-time learner
| Layer | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Pup ↔ owner | Email loop → APPROVED → corpus refresh |
| Agent ↔ agent | Shared desk only; Arnie coordinates; must log |
| Field | Why |
|---|---|
relayed_from / relayed_to | Attribution |
seen_prior | Blind vs echoed “independence” |
| timestamp PT | Steward clock |
| per-section credit | Anti-mash |
Full explanation
seen_prior operationalizes Parallel Relay Case hygiene: seats that saw each other first are not blind. Public papers name fields only — fleet provenance block stays internal. Carbon delivery without a log is a process failure, not a style preference.
