Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki 49d82511c3 Adopt the four markdown namespaces and gate them
Renames this repo's markdown onto README.md / CLAUDE*.md / DOCS*.md /
TODO*.md so a future session can tell a live task from a finished
record without reading the file to find out.

TODO files carry the literal "REMOVE ME AFTER FINISH" and are deleted
when the work lands. Enforced by the md-naming pre-commit hook and CI
workflow, both delegating to the shared gate in kuhyx/utils so this
repo's idea of a valid name cannot drift from every other repo's.

Working safely in a shared ~/testsAndMisc checkout

Split out of refactor_claude_todo_resume.md (which hit the 250-line cap it exists to enforce). Nothing here is specific to the file-length refactor -- it applies to any long session in this tree.

Check for another agent FIRST

A past session collided with a second Claude from ~/.claude/scripts/claude-autoresume.sh on the same tree: shared git index, so its files landed in the other's staging area, it won a commit race, then hung for 17 minutes on an API request with no read timeout. Run this before touching the index, and kill anything live (it commits in-flight work on the way out):

pgrep -af 'claude -p' | grep -v grep     # autoresume runs `claude -p ... --continue`
ps -o pid=,etime=,time= -p <pid>         # 7s CPU over 17min = not working
pgrep -P <pid> -a                        # only MCP servers = no command running
ss -tnp | grep <pid>                     # ESTAB to :443 with 0/0 queued = half-open

If the tree looks suspiciously clean, killing a process mid-pre-commit stranded the changes it stashed. Recover them, do not retype them: ls -lt ~/.cache/pre-commit/patch* | head then git apply the newest.
