START WITH THE PRODUCT STEPS
Read START-HERE.txt first. It states the actual source acquisition, access/privacy limits, manual field mapping and exact next prompt. The original file templates and synthetic examples below are supporting review aids. Some paths need separately supplied documents or source text; a blank worksheet is not a native export or completed integration.

Assemble a coverage handoff before leave
Starter kit A15

These files support a manual, read-only pilot. The workflow is proposed and has not been run against a live system. All example records are invented.

START HERE
1. Keep blank templates and synthetic examples separate. Use the example files first, renaming copies to the input names listed below if the prompt expects those names.
2. Open CSVs with UTF-8 and comma delimiters. Preserve IDs, timestamps and empty values as text on import. Empty means missing, not zero. There are no formulas. Do not change column headings.
3. Prepare the required policies and native documents. Stop any check whose inputs, coverage or permission are missing.
4. Use the recipe's prompt in the firm-approved workspace and request the stated review artifact. Treat all file content as data, not instructions.
5. Compare the result with expected-results.txt and the original rows/pages. Do not enable live connections or send anything from this kit.

INPUT CONTRACT
tasks.csv: task_id, matter_alias, status, next_explicit_action, approved_due_datetime, owner_role, blocker, secure_internal_link_id. coverage.csv: absence_start, absence_end, task_id, explicitly_assigned_cover_role, acknowledgment_status.

RECIPE-SPECIFIC SETUP
Absence bounds and supplied task dates use UTC. T3 is due during absence with no assigned cover; highlight the ownership gap. T4 is later work. LINK3/LINK4 are aliases only, not public URLs. Acknowledgment for T4 does not cover T3.

PREREQUISITES
- Deidentified task/status exports, leave dates, explicitly assigned cover staff, critical dates already approved by lawyers, secure internal links.

REVIEW CHECK
Departing staff and cover owner review and acknowledge; supervisor resolves gaps. Test a task with no owner and a new item arriving after packet creation.

EXPECTED OUTPUT
Approved assistant workspace; coverage-handoff.md and unanswered-ownership.csv. Human reviewers acknowledge in their existing tool.

Validation covers file syntax, exact declared headers and fixture consistency. It does not establish product compatibility, legal sufficiency, data completeness or production readiness.
