+# MaidnCLI Delivery Procedure
+
+## Handoff
+
+- Do not leave completed changes only in a local worktree or branch.
+- Run `git diff --check` and the applicable Go checks before handoff.
+- Push each safe, scoped change on its own branch.
+- Open a Forgejo pull request for every completed branch unless the user explicitly authorizes a direct merge.
+- Return the PR URL. If Forgejo API access prevents PR creation, return the compare URL and state the exact API failure.
+- Never commit generated workspaces, `.password`, SOPS material, kubeconfigs, Terraform state, or recovery material.
