Use at the boundary only — when about to claim something is ready to merge/deploy/push/publish, when ending a session that changed code, and when the user asks "fatto?", "finito?", "possiamo mergiare?", or "quanto rischio a pushare?". Not due inside a loop iteration (there the map delta is the report).

Use when a project starts a new objective or campaign, when a project has no HANDOFF.md map yet, or when the objective changes — it writes the map (head line, levers, fog) that every loop iteration re-anchors on.

Use when ending a work session that changed project state, when the user says "facciamo il punto"/"a che punto siamo"/"riprendiamo", when starting work in a project that has a HANDOFF.md, or after a crash/context loss when prior state must be reconstructed.

Use at the start of every /loop iteration and every autonomous work cycle — when resuming from a schedule wake-up, when a prompt says "continue the loop / continua il loop", or when about to schedule the next iteration of long-horizon work.

Use only when the user asks "c'è altro che dovrei sapere?", "cosa hai notato?", or requests a risk scan of recent changes. Not a default step of any report.

Use when the user reports something broken, pastes an error/log/traceback/console output, says "non funziona"/"lo fa ancora"/"c'è un bug", or when a previous fix did not survive re-testing. Also use before editing code in response to any failure you have not yet reproduced.

Use when starting any feature or product slice expected to take more than a session — when the user describes something to build ("facciamo", "creiamo", "voglio una pagina/feature"), before implementation planning, or when a goal phase lacks a written spec.
