Before resuming or modifying the project, read `DOCS_FOLDER/WORKLOG/current-task.md` if the file exists.

When a task is started, interrupted, finished, or left with known follow-ups, update `DOCS_FOLDER/WORKLOG/current-task.md` with:

- the current status;
- the task in progress;
- the files or areas concerned;
- the verifications performed;
- the remaining verifications;
- the next recommended action.

For an MVP ticket that has actually started, create or update a dedicated document under `DOCS_FOLDER/WORKLOG/` if the tracking no longer fits clearly in `current-task.md`.

The worklog does not replace ADRs: it describes operational progress and resume points, not durable decisions.
