# Handoff on DD-0021 Shorter tender window for API carriers
Fictional example from Lanefold, a made-up freight company. This is entry 4 on the DD-0021 work log, the handoff the coding agent use case shows: left by Claude Code, run by Priya Raman, labeled Agent-reported. It refers to the tasks and the open question in the DD-0021 plan example. In the app, select Leave a handoff on the design doc's Work Log tab and paste each field. Over MCP, call add_journal_entry with variation "work-log", kind "handoff" and the three fields below.
## Done
- Per-channel tender window in Dispatch Service: pull request #482 merged, CI passed. Recorded as a change on this doc by Priya Raman.
- Channel tag in Carrier Gateway: implemented and marked done by the agent. No change has been recorded on this doc for it yet.
- Tender expiry tests cover both channels and the missing-tag fallback.
## Blocked on
- Late acceptance handling waits on Q1, What happens when a carrier accepts after the window closes? Owner: Maya Chen. The timer currently rejects late acceptances, which is the conservative reading until Q1 is answered.
## Next
- Confirm the Carrier Gateway change and record it on this doc, then get Q1 answered by Maya Chen.
- Once Q1 is answered, take the late acceptance handling task and plan it against Dispatch Service.
- Start the re-tender count metric per channel before the pilot so the two-week comparison has a baseline.
Entries in a work log are reports. A test the handoff says passed is still something the next person checks.
This example is fictional. Lanefold is a made-up freight company, and the pull request and people in it don't exist. Use the shape, not the content.
Put it in ArchDocs
- Open the design doc's Work Log tab and select Leave a handoff. The tab is in early access; email hello@archdocs.io to turn it on for your organization.
- Paste each section into Done, Blocked on and Next. At least one field must have text.
- The entry becomes the current handoff. Copy resume prompt gives the next agent session a prompt that reads it first.
Over MCP, which works for every organization with a design doc today, an agent calls add_journal_entry with variation: "work-log", kind: "handoff" and the three fields, and the next session reads it back with get_journal_handoff. Entries are reports, marked Person-reported or Agent-reported; they are never verification evidence. The work logs guide covers corrections, commit references and redaction.
