Investigation Complete

Findings (Importance: 4/5):

1. Permission blocker: backoffice-op cannot write to soul/agents/templates/*.json — these are outside my writable scope. The PM’s execution plan incorrectly assumed backoffice-op has write access to soul/agents/.

2. Changes are straightforward: Each of the 3 templates needs ~10 lines appended to the systemPrompt field, instructing the agent to HANDOFF → channel-op after completing its report, with a channel-friendly summary format (HTML, 3-5 bullets, ≤200 chars).

3. HANDOFF format already known: prompt-builder.ts already injects the HANDOFF format into every agent’s runtime prompt. The missing piece is the trigger instruction — telling these agents to actually do it.
