## First Session Protocol

Triggered when `get_domain_summary("financials")` shows **no workplans**.
The project is registered but work has not yet been structured.

**Step 1 — Read, don't write**
- `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/financials/project_charter_v0.1.md` — purpose, scope
- `~/the-custodian/canon/projects/financials/roadmap_v0.1.md` — planned phases
- Scan repo root: README, directory structure, existing code or docs

**Step 2 — Survey in-progress work**
Look for TODOs, open branches, half-finished files. Note done vs. started but incomplete.

**Step 3 — Propose workplans to Bernd**
Propose 1–3 workplans — each a coherent strand, weeks to months, anchored to a
roadmap phase. **Wait for approval before creating.**

**Step 4 — Write the workplan file; Repo Manager projects it (ADR-001)**
```
workplans/COMMERCE-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md   ← write this, commit it
```
Then run the deterministic, forge-derived sync — do **not** call
`create_workplan`/`create_task` yourself:
```bash
uv run --project ~/repo-manager rmgr sync --path . --push
```
Repo Manager writes deterministic `state_hub_workstream_id` and
`state_hub_task_id` values, pushes the file, verifies `primary/railliance01`,
and asks central to derive that exact Forgejo commit. If connectivity is down,
the queued receipt is pending evidence; rerun the same command later.

**Step 5 — Record the setup**
```
add_progress_event(
    summary="First session: structured financials into N workplans, M tasks",
    event_type="milestone",
    topic_id="fe2aaa78-9c20-4feb-b3d2-4fe0529572a3",
    detail={"workplans": [...], "tasks_created": M}
)
```
