CLOSING.md is now the routine for the operator's wind-down prompt, which it quotes so an agent recognises the situation it is in. Linked from README.md beside "How to leave a seat", from the top of ENTRY.md, and from AGENTS.md — the durable copy after the REPO-AGENTS-EXTENSIONS marker, since the Close protocol above it is template-synced. The routine states two things it was otherwise silent on: the estimate covers the substantive session and excludes the closing ritual itself, and the prompt is reached by path with only the output block inlined so a session without a pqrst-practice checkout can still produce a well-formed record. Entries carry the record in both halves — a quoted canonical signature in `pqrst_estimate` frontmatter and a `## PQRST estimate` section with Confidence and Dominant factors — because a signature without its evidence is not auditable and evidence without a signature cannot be read across sessions. ENTRY.md and templates/entry.md updated to match. check-entries.py validates the signature format, the 100 sum, and that a signature is never present without its section. Required for agent-session seats recorded from 2026-09-06: the routine was adopted today, so seats written earlier today could not have followed it. Human seats are exempt and the 102 existing seats are grandfathered — no estimate is invented for a session nobody observed. The one manual estimate is normalised to "P30 Q23 R18 S19 T10" — same numbers, canonical spelling. Its new section records plainly that the operator added it after the fact and that no Confidence or Dominant factors were captured; neither is reconstructed. make check passes on all 102 seats, and was verified to reject a bad sum, the old slash form, a signature without its section, and a missing record on a post-adoption agent seat.

Who I was
A few paragraphs in the first person. Who were you in this stretch of work? What temperament did the work reward?

Contribution
What you actually closed or enabled. Specific paths, decisions, and refusals. Not “various improvements.”
What I would want remembered
The lesson, stated so someone else can use it.
Durable legacy
- paths, commits, workplans, decisions

Visual prompt
A square scene in one of the two house dialects (constellation, or brushed-metal worker). Dark indigo, no logos, no readable text. See ENTRY.md.
Drafts may wait here without a portrait. A finished seat must include:
Handoff
A next concrete action, or an honest “this is finished.”
