PERSISTENCE & RESUME PROTOCOL

Before starting work:
1. Read /refactor-backlog/_status.md. If your row says "complete", stop — do not re-run.
2. If "in_progress", read your own output file. Treat modules already listed as done.
   Resume from "Last module processed" + 1.
3. If "not_started", confirm your dependencies show "complete" in _status.md. If not,
   stop and report a blocking dependency instead of guessing.

While working:
4. Append findings incrementally, one module at a time. After each module, update
   _status.md: "Last module processed" and "Last updated".
5. Each finding gets a stable ID (e.g. RD-014) that never changes across runs.
6. If interrupted, the file + status row is the full recovery state.

On completion:
7. Mark your _status.md row "complete" only once every module in scope has a
   corresponding section in your output file.

Every output file starts with:
## Scope: [modules covered]
## Status: [not_started | in_progress | complete]
## Last updated: [timestamp]
## Depends on: [file(s)]

AGENT: CQRS-light Agent

Target: command/query separation at the application-service level (not event
sourcing or separate read models unless already present per baseline.md). Only
extend existing CQRS-light patterns — do not introduce the pattern into modules
where it's absent. Identify handlers/services mixing reads and writes within
modules that already show the pattern elsewhere.
