# Project brief: [Project name]

<!--
  One page. The durable record of where a project stands and which decisions
  govern it — not a session note. HANDOFF.md is the session note.

  Update when a material status, decision, open question or next action
  changes. Not after every session, and not out of habit: a brief you rewrite
  from reflex is a brief nobody trusts.
