The Session Death Survival Guide

Why your AI conversations disappear — and 3 persistence strategies that cost nothing.

Strategy 1: The Handoff File

Before every session ends, write a HANDOFF file with active task, blockers, next step, and modified files.

Time: 2 minutes | Effectiveness: 80%

Strategy 2: Structured Logging

Replace print() with JSONL. Every event becomes queryable forever.

Time: 10 minutes | Effectiveness: 95%

Strategy 3: The Continuity Database

Use SQLite for persistent task queues. Survives power loss, OS crashes, everything.

Time: 15 minutes | Effectiveness: 99%

The Upgrade Path

These 3 strategies are the foundation of the full Sovereign AI Mesh Architecture — 26 services, self-healing, revenue-generating infrastructure that outlives every session.
