Runtime Handoff

Generated from workflows/modes/runtime-handoff.md, the mode contract the HELIX skill loads. Edit that file, not this page.

Use when a workflow mode concludes that the next step is execution, source control, packaging, or a long-lived operator loop. HELIX does not own those surfaces; the runtime does.

Name the governed work item or artifact gap that is ready for runtime action.
Name the domain lane and scope instance the runtime should preserve.
Name the verification evidence the runtime must record before reporting completion. For buildable products, this includes observable end-to-end evidence against the running system when feasible, plus a claims-vs-reality check with zero phantom claims. See the in-tree workflows/concerns/verification/practices.md, or the references/concerns/verification/practices.md floor — resolved via §Catalog Resolution (the floor always resolves).
For data-backed products, require governed sample or seed data with synthetic non-PII values and enough variation to exercise schema-relevant states. See the in-tree workflows/concerns/sample-data/practices.md, or the references/concerns/sample-data/practices.md floor — resolved via §Catalog Resolution (the floor always resolves).
Do not prescribe runtime commands from the skill body. Point to the runtime’s install or operator guide for concrete execution, source control, packaging, or loop commands.

Innsigle seal: model-primary by HELIX

The signature covers the markdown source of this page, not these HTML bytes. This page quotes that seal; verify it against the source file.
