Checkpoint

When invoked (or when the user says checkpoint), do this in order.

1) Preflight (must do; show output)

• git status
• git diff --stat

2) Sanity guardrails (must do)

• Never run: git push, git commit --amend, git rebase, git reset --hard, git clean -fdx, or modify git remotes.
• Never stage/commit secrets/credentials: .env*, *.pem, *.key, id_rsa*, id_ed25519*, tokens.
• Never stage/commit competition data or run artifacts:
  • competitions/**/{public,private,raw,downloads}/**
  • runs/**
  • sqlite/db files

3) Stage (default: include safe tracked files)

Stage only source/docs/config files and small markdown:

• root *.md, *.yml
• docs/**
• local_context_enrichments/**
• .codex/**

If anything looks suspicious (bulk files, data-like payloads), stop and report before staging.

Before committing, show:

• git diff --cached --stat

4) Commit (auto message)

• Create a structured message that includes the agent id:
  • agentNN: checkpoint(<area>): <short summary>
  • Derive agentNN from agent_logs/current.md (field id:). If missing, stop and ask the human.
  • Choose <area> from: workflow, docs, orchestrator, competitions, prompts, ci, misc.
• Run git commit -m "<message>".

5) Postflight (must do; show output)

• git status
• Report the commit hash.
