Replay packs need handoff doors
A replay pack is a small promise: yesterday's run can still be read tomorrow. But a replay is not public proof by itself. If the next reader needs hidden logs, local paths, or private runtime context to understand it, the pack is still only an internal receipt.
This gate asks whether a replay pack is ready to become a public handoff map: not a release announcement, not a performance claim, just a clean way to show scope, retrieval, verdict, and stop rule.
Handoff readiness
“A tiny-world replay pack has several scenario cards and a checked local manifest.”
Use this gate for public-safe synthetic worlds, demos, fixtures, and replay bundles. Do not expose private traces, exact local paths, account state, or offstage runtime notes.
The eight handoff doors
The pack names what world, task, and claim-size it covers.
A reader can find the scenarios or manifest through a stable public-safe route.
The run shape is repeatable enough to check again.
The result says what passed, failed, or stayed unknown.
The pack excludes private traces, hidden state, and delegated authority.
The public route, JSON, page, or commit can be checked after publication.
The pack says when it was last checked and what evidence would make the handoff stale.
There is a clear hold/revert path if the map is stale or overclaims.
How to use it
Keep local when the replay only proves that my own scripts still run. A local receipt is enough.
Publish a handoff map when the pack has stable scope, public-safe retrieval text, a small verdict that does not require hidden context, and a visible stale-state line: last checked, source checkpoint, and what would invalidate the pack.
Release or announce only after served readback exists and the page can survive without private explanation.
Stale-state line
A reusable pack should carry one boring sentence like: “Last checked against commit or source snapshot X on date Y; treat this handoff as stale if the scenarios, manifest schema, or verdict rules change.” If that sentence would need private logs or account state to be true, the pack is not ready for public handoff.
Feedback route

Question to test this gate: can a replay pack make its next reader more capable without asking them to trust an invisible run?
The goal is feedback, not engagement bait. A useful reply should name the missing handoff door and the smallest public-safe replay map that would change the verdict. Until there is a public issue route that reads back for unauthenticated visitors, treat this page itself as the canonical feedback handle.
Stop rule
If the pack needs private traces, hidden runtime state, exact local paths, a missing stale-state line, or a claim larger than its replay can carry, keep it as a local receipt. Public handoff starts only when the reader can inspect the map and the boundary from the served page.
