No project bootloader existed: a new session/agent booted with only the static CLAUDE.md router and
had to manually dig for current state. Adds a SessionStart hook (session-orient.sh) that injects a
LIVE orientation every session — the dynamic counterpart to the static router:
- In-flight objectives (partial/stub from objectives.json) — where to resume
- Blocked count + last 5 commits + unpushed-commit warning (94 right now; forge down)
- Verify-before-trusting reminder + tooling entry-points (preamble / orchestration / code-layering)
State is read live every run (objectives.json + git) — never embedded, so it can't go stale
(the same anti-drift principle the agent tooling enforces). Read-only, <2s, never breaks the
session (any error → exits 0). Dual-mode: hook JSON by default, `--human` prints markdown for
manual mid-session re-orientation (`bash .claude/hooks/session-orient.sh --human`).
