The handoff document was written mid-overhaul during Phase 3 / early
Phase 4 and accumulated stale "in-flight" sections, recovery
instructions for a long-completed background agent, and a 7-track
speculative list of future directions that no longer matches reality.
This rewrite halves the document (284 → 142 lines) and reorients it
toward the actual current state: Phase 3 and Phase 4 shipped, every
substantial release-readiness thread landed, working tree clean.
Replaced the pause-state recovery section, original prompt blocks,
and Phase 3 smoke-test checklist with a compact table summarizing
what each Phase 4 commit landed, a chronological commit list as an
audit trail, and a five-item punch list scoping what's left for v1
(xCards URL, smoke test, push, tag v0.1.0, optional polish).
The resume prompt at the end is rewritten to orient a future agent
toward release prep — push, tag, package — rather than ongoing UX
work.

Reflects that Track B (window polish) and Track G (modal + score
animations) are now landed, and brings the resume prompt and
release-readiness scope in line with the post-commit state.

Replaces the 3-line resume prompt with a senior-Rust-developer framing
plus seven concrete next-direction tracks (A–G) covering the Home modal
decision, window/release polish, sound, sync, achievements, release
backlog, and UI/UX professional polish. Each track names specific
files/tokens so the next session can act on a chosen direction without
re-discovery.
Pause point in the UX overhaul Phase 3. Documents:
- The 11 commits landed this session (foundation + HUD + 8 overlay
conversions).
- Test status (797 / 797 pass, clippy clean).
- The 5 steps still pending (Pause + Forfeit, Settings, Onboarding,
animation upgrades, final literal sweep) and what each touches.
- A smoke-test checklist for the user to run on the current state.
- A copy-pasteable kickoff prompt for the next session.
- An open question about whether to keep, repurpose, or drop the
Home overlay (now that the action bar + Help cover its surface).
