Read in this order

1. CURRENT.md — version · idle/active · PAUSED bands
2. handoffs/current-session.md — Next Atomic Step only
3. product/SCOPE-OF-SERVICE.md — service boundary
4. product/OPERATOR-NEXT.md — human gates still on you
5. product/PLATFORMS-AND-PORTAL.md — when working Platforms / Portal / Integrations (what works · objectives · known gaps)

That is enough for most sessions.
