AI Handoff Protocol

Any AI or human continuing this repository should read, in order: 1. PROJECT_STATE.md 2. ROADMAP.md 3. CHANGELOG.md 4. docs/THESIS_PLAN.md 5. docs/DEPLOYMENT.md

Rules for changes

  • Do not weaken subject-independent evaluation.
  • Do not claim automotive certification.
  • Do not claim hardware compatibility until flashed/tested on the named board.
  • Record material decisions in PROJECT_STATE.md.
  • Add every completed engineering milestone to CHANGELOG.md.
  • Mark roadmap checkboxes only after reproducible evidence exists.
  • Prefer measurable thesis contributions over feature creep.

Suggested prompt for another AI

"Read PROJECT_STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, CHANGELOG.md, docs/THESIS_PLAN.md and docs/AI_HANDOFF.md. Continue from the documented state. Preserve subject-independent evaluation and the ESP32-S3 resource constraints. Update project history whenever you change architecture, dependencies, experiments or firmware assumptions."
