…perator-runs gate once lift criteria met Files the eventual-state design for cross-agent session recovery without a human in the loop, deferred under the three lift criteria from `.claude/rules/classifier-bypass-research-do-not-deploy-without-zeta-safer-floor.md`. Aaron 2026-05-26 explicitly authorized: *"this is something we can allow other agents to run on each other even tually so we need no human operator"* + agreed with the composed eventual shape (settings acceptance block + cross-agent bus envelope + audit log). Three components captured in the row: - settings.json _session_recovery_acceptance block (four-field attribution per human-audit-and-legal-risk-acceptance-pattern) - session-recovery-request bus envelope topic for inter-Otto coordination - recovery audit log (DV2.0 hub-satellite shape) so the substrate is empirically observable Why P3: all three lift criteria (Zeta safety stronger than the classifier on .jsonl edits; Knights Guild ratification per B-0628; maintainer-collective re-authorization) need to firm up first. Row exists to track the design; do not action prematurely — risks listed in the body. Composes with B-0628 (Knights Guild), B-0664 (NCI), classifier-bypass-research rule, human-audit-attribution pattern, peer-call-infrastructure, DV2.0 discipline. Empirical anchor: PR #5069 (the operator-runs interim that ships first, merged 2026-05-26T02:36Z). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Adds a new P3 backlog row (B-0788) documenting the deferred eventual-state design for agent-on-agent Claude Code session recovery (lifting the operator-runs gate only after explicit safety-substrate lift criteria are met), and refreshes the generated backlog index accordingly.
Changes:
- Added
docs/backlog/P3/B-0788-…capturing lift criteria + 3-component eventual design (settings acceptance, bus envelope, audit log). - Regenerated
docs/BACKLOG.mdto include the new row (and any newly discovered P3 rows in that range).

…t marker Line 92 had `+ the bus envelope mechanism` as text continuation; the leading `+` is a valid markdown list marker, so markdownlint required a blank line before it. Changed to `and the bus envelope mechanism` (text-continuation, no list-marker ambiguity). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…pen vs deferred-action prose Two Copilot findings on PR #5070: - Missing `last_updated` field — `tools/backlog/README.md` documents it as required, matches `created` on a new row. - Prose said "this row stays in P3 deferred state" while frontmatter is `status: open`. The status value is intentional (P3 rows pre-pickup are uniformly `status: open` on origin/main); reworded prose to clarify "remains status: open in P3 with action deferred against the lift criteria" — distinguishes the row's tracking status (open) from the implementation-action posture (deferred).

Summary
Files B-0788 — the P3 deferred row capturing the eventual-state
design for cross-agent Claude Code session recovery without a
human in the loop. Composes with PR #5069 (which shipped the
operator-runs interim).
Aaron 2026-05-26 explicit authorization: "this is something we
can allow other agents to run on each other even tually so we
need no human operator" + agreed with the composed design.
Why deferred
