The checkpoint file includes these sections:

• Checkpoint metadata (date, session description)
• Decisions Made (with rationale)
• Files Modified (path, what changed, why)
• Files Created (path, purpose)
• Current State (what's working, what's partial)
• Blockers (what's preventing progress)
• Next Steps (ordered action items)
• Environment State (branch, uncommitted changes, PAC profile, solution version)
• Resume Prompt (ready-to-paste prompt for a new session to pick up)

Load Procedure

1. Find the requested checkpoint file
2. Read and parse all sections
3. Present summary to user
4. Verify files still exist and haven't changed
