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; fix-consistency registers it (ADR-001)

workplans/RPF-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md   ← write this, commit it

Then register by running the consistency check — do not call create_workplan/create_task yourself; manual registration duplicates what C-06 creates from the file:

statehub fix-consistency --repo railiance-platform

C-06 creates the hub workplan + tasks and writes state_hub_workstream_id (legacy frontmatter name — holds the workplan UUID) and state_hub_task_id back into the file.

If C-06/C-11 is skipped on a non-registrar host, commit and push the workplan, then run uv run --project ~/repo-manager rmgr registrar-reconcile --path . --confirm-primary --push once. Never export registrar authority directly or create hub rows by hand.

Step 5 — Record the setup
