Sprint 130 Plan: Checklist-Driven Debug Handoff and Evidence Indexing

Context

Sprint 129 added constraints, budgets, and recovery guidance. Sprint 130 focuses on handoff quality: deterministic checklists, item completion tracking, and evidence index packets that let weaker agents continue debugging with minimal context.

---

Goals

1. Add deterministic checklist and handoff models
2. Add deterministic evidence index model
3. Add MCP tools to fetch/mark checklists and export handoff/evidence
4. Keep outputs machine-readable and deterministic

Architecture Gate

• Checklist template must be deterministic by failure class
• Checklist completion updates must be deterministic and replayable
• Handoff/evidence outputs must be machine-readable and compact
• Max 600 lines per header
