Handoff.Command is the last command observed in the pane. The handoff prompt
tells the agent to write .orchestra-handoff-report.md and stop, so that write
is almost always the last command there. Validate then rejects it as circular:
"must not point to a handoff or report".
Every phase rotation therefore failed on Orchestra's own instruction. Live on
run 5, one stage past F36.
lastObservedCommand now skips commands the validator would call circular, so
the successor gets the last command that was real work. The rule stays in
continuity and is asked, not restated, which is how F36 happened.

handoffReason has emitted "phase_changed" since phase rotations landed. The
continuity validator's reason list was never extended, so every phase rotation
built a handoff it then refused as "invalid handoff meta".
Live on run 5: with F31 clearing the parse ahead of it, the release reached
this and stopped at phase "prepared" with
"adapter: upload handoff: invalid handoff meta".
The test asserts the property rather than the constant: every reason the
adapter can produce must survive Validate, including its fallback.

Release now re-verifies every handoff Anchor.Dirty file hash (previously
unchecked after the top-level anchor SHA compare), snapshots dirty state
onto a per-task scratch branch before uploading, and rewrites the anchor
to the new commit so successor pickup collapses to a single HEAD compare.
ScratchCommit made idempotent for repeated rotations of the same task.
Bootstrap's prompt now points the agent at the scratch-branch commit
history instead of vague "read the handoff" prose, and does not claim a
GET /v1/artifacts/<ref> endpoint that doesn't exist.
MarkdownChanges had zero callers and zero tests; deleted per AUDIT.md's
explicit deletion option rather than half-wiring an undesigned feature.
