Live Edge — where we are right now

The current front, not a log. One glance. If it's longer than that, sweep it at close: graduate finished work into the deep vault, delete the noise.

The active thread

• [What we are in the middle of, in one or two lines.]

The open question(s)

• [The live unknowns the next session should pick up. Few, sharp.]

The next move

• [The single most likely next action, so the next boot doesn't cold-start.]

Decay queue (swept at close)

• [item] — promote to [vault path] (it became real work) or delete (it was noise)

A front, not an archive. The vault is for what's done; this is for what's live.
