Summary

Pickup can continue started work after a deliberate Day shift hand-back. Complete label history must establish the last Claim and the later ready label; never-Claimed work remains passed over. All other Ready issue gates still apply.

in-progress applied → in-progress removed → ready-for-agent applied
  → settling window → existing Run / Spec run dispatcher
    → preserve Issue branch and open PR per ADR 0002

Closes #617

Evidence

• Before: cargo test --test pickup_run a_handed_back_branch_is_continued_without_losing_interrupted_work -- --exact failed: Pickup skipped the preserved branch and no PR was created.
  After: the same test passes and verifies the interrupted commit remains in the branch history.
• cargo test --bin thirdshift ready::tests: 17 passed.
• cargo test --test pickup_run: 65 passed, including open-PR/base preservation, same-second ordering, repeated Claims, missing/out-of-order hand-backs, multi-page history, and recent relabel settling.
• cargo test: 1831 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored across 43 test binaries.
• cargo check --all-targets, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo fmt --check passed.
• The exact candidate GraphQL query also succeeded against GitHub in a read-only check.

Test seams

• Ready issue search (Search::first_ready) with in-memory GitHub/origin reads: started hand-backs, other readiness gates and settling.
• thirdshift pickup command with real git and fake GitHub/Harness: paginated label chronology and preserved branch/open-PR Continuation outcomes.

Review coverage

Independent Standards and Spec reviews found 0 findings on each axis and each read all 8 changed files. No changed file was left unread on either axis. The reviews used git diff main...HEAD, with main pinned to 7af795dc141b3bb64dea032c162bddc5adf5045a. Each axis's report and final files-read list are saved in .thirdshift-review-NyxGdX/standards.md and .thirdshift-review-NyxGdX/spec.md in the implementation worktree.

Unaddressed findings

• Standards: none.
• Spec: none.
• Security: none. Guidance-mode review of git diff 7af795dc141b3bb64dea032c162bddc5adf5045a...HEAD and supporting code found no introduced Security findings. Reviewed label-history ordering and pagination, readiness gates, CLI argument handling, and Continuation branch/base selection against the relevant attack-class guidance and repository ADRs. The existing readiness tests (17) and hand-back-related integration tests (6) passed in a network-isolated, resource-limited sandbox.

Security review outcome

No unaddressed introduced findings.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Reverting restores the previous eligibility rule; no migration or branch deletion.

Blast Radius: Pickup

The shared Ready issue search also controls when Architect and Security runs yield to shaped work. Claim coordination and Security fix exclusions stay in force.
