Outbound Handoffs

Purpose: Use these payloads when Launch must pass structured results to another agent without re-describing the same data manually.

Contents

• Guardian release flow
• Pulse metrics sync
• Canvas visualization
• Zen title analysis
• Sherpa large-PR escalation
• Radar coverage correlation
• Internal release-note completion record
