Detect parallel session drift by scanning recent git commits and handoff file modification times to identify work from other sessions that may have changed the true project state. This validation confirms no other agent session already bumped the version or updated governance records.

State consistency validation verifies that version.json, CLAUDE.md, HANDOFF.md, and the context manifest all agree on the active version and handoff target. It prevents sessions from closing with stale, partial, or contradictory project state documents.

Prevent stale git commits from breaking a release update by applying a governance safety gate that stops closing workflows when drift or multiple active handoffs are detected. This forces a merge, override, or abort decision before damage is done.

Check for multiple active handoffs before closing a session, writing a new handoff, or performing a release update. This applies to repository workflows involving full-finish, live-state-orchestrator handoff writes, plan-and-execute finalization, and project state document mutations.

Yes, cross-file version consistency validation verifies that version.json, CLAUDE.md, HANDOFF.md, and the context manifest all agree on the active version and handoff target. It requires context manifest synchronization before finalizing any governance state.
