pause-safely: the resume checkpoint should include artifacts the human asked for on resume #45

Description

@zeitlinb

What happened

The human asked the agent for "ten questions to ask you when we reboot to confirm you followed procedure". The agent answered in chat, the session was then paused and cleared, and the questions were gone. The pause-safely playbook's step 4 checkpoint list names intent, progress, state, next steps, files and gotchas for the resume note, but nothing the human explicitly asked to have available after the restart. So the resume note was "complete" by the checklist and still lost the one artifact the human had requested.

Proposal

In poteto-mode/playbooks/pause-safely.md step 4, add one item to the checkpoint list: "artifacts the human asked for to use on resume (a checklist, questions, a procedure) are written to a file and linked from the resume note". A chat-only answer to such a request is a pause defect.

Why upstream

It is one line in the playbook body. This project keeps its own rules outside the plugin and does not fork it, so the durable fix belongs here.

Context: open-pstack 1.2.1 on Claude Code, macOS. Happy to send a PR if you prefer.
