Handoffs that arrive mid-session used to sit unseen until the next startup or a manual check. Today's burst of cross-project handoffs made that gap obvious. I added monitor-inbox.org, the cadence-and-decision layer over process-inbox: check the inbox at every task boundary, decide act-now (just do it) versus file (ask, with filing as option 1), and reply to the sender. An opt-in background-monitor /loop recipe covers unattended watching.
inbox-status (with bats tests) is the cheap check the cadence calls. It lists unprocessed handoffs and exits nonzero when any are pending, using the same artifact exclusions as the wrap-up sanity check. protocols.org gets a short cadence note so the habit fires every session, and INDEX.org lists the new workflow. The act-vs-file rule (act-now is silent, filing asks with file as option 1, ambiguity asks) is the decision protocol we settled today.
