Does stopping a Docker hermit container preserve the session state for manual control?

Yes, stopping the Docker hermit container preserves all session state. The session is marked as operator takeover, allowing you to transition from automated operation to interactive manual control without losing context.

How do I load hermit context from OPERATOR.md and SHELL.md after stopping a container?

Loading hermit context happens automatically after stopping the container. The skill reads context from OPERATOR.md and recent SHELL.md files, then presents a structured takeover summary to the operator for immediate interactive work.

When should I transition from an automated Docker setup to interactive session management?

You should transition from an automated Docker setup to interactive session management when you need to drive the process manually. The skill preserves state continuity and loads full hermit context for seamless continuation locally outside Docker.

Can I run hermit takeover locally outside of a Docker environment?

Yes, you run the hermit takeover locally outside Docker when you want to drive interactively. The skill stops the autonomous container, loads full context, and presents a summary to enable local interactive work with full continuity.

What is operator takeover in the context of Docker session management?

Operator takeover in Docker session management is the process of stopping the autonomous container and marking the session for manual control. It loads the hermit context and presents a structured summary for interactive continuation.
