Adds resilient session state to Council debates. Each round is written
to ~/.claude/MEMORY/STATE/council-sessions/{session-id}/ as it completes,
enabling recovery from rate limits, timeouts, and context compaction.
New Recovery workflow supports full and partial rerun modes for
interrupted sessions.
Rebased from PR danielmiessler#567 (v2.5 paths) to v3.0 structure. Intentionally
excludes adaptive rounds, model tiering, patchlist mode, and Config.md
from the original PR as those are separate concerns.

Pull request overview
Adds resilience infrastructure to the Council skill by persisting debate session state to disk, enabling recovery/resume workflows, and archiving completed transcripts for long-running sessions.
Changes:
- Added a new Recovery workflow documenting full and partial rerun modes with session loading/validation guidance.
- Updated the Debate workflow to initialize a session directory, write round outputs to disk, and archive the final transcript to
~/.claude/MEMORY/RESEARCH/. - Updated Council skill routing/docs to include the Recovery workflow and new resilience guidance.

- Switch round file writes from echo to heredoc for multi-line safety - Sanitize TOPIC_SLUG to strip path-unsafe characters (a-z0-9 and hyphens only) - Restrict recovery to session IDs only (no arbitrary directory paths) - Strengthen session ID validation with base directory constraint - Document short form "Council recovery: ..." as alias for partial rerun - Align recovery invocation syntax across SKILL.md, Debate.md, Recovery.md

Thank you for the council file-first output and recovery mode work! This PR was rebased to v3.0 paths, which were restructured in v4.0. If you'd like to contribute council improvements for the current architecture, please see Releases/v4.0.2 for the latest codebase and feel free to resubmit. The council skill still exists and these features (file-first output, session recovery) are good ideas. Thanks! |

Port file-first output and recovery features from v3.0 PR danielmiessler#738 to v4.0.3 Council skill. Session state now persists to disk after each round, enabling recovery from rate limits, timeouts, and context compaction. - SKILL.md: Add Recovery workflow routing, quick reference, resilience philosophy, and recovery example - Debate.md: Add Step 0 session init, per-round file writes to ~/.claude/MEMORY/STATE/council-sessions/, Step 6 archival to MEMORY/RESEARCH/, and interruption handling section - Recovery.md: New file with full/partial rerun modes, diff-only optimization, and error handling Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
