First Case

Start a Case, preserve only useful state, and close it.

Start from an immutable Version, or use a title for work that does not yet have a Playbook.

epismo case start --version-id <version-id> --case-input '{"customer":"Acme"}'
epismo case start --title "Review contract exception"

Keep local intermediate work local. Append outcomes, decisions, handoffs, and review subjects as Records.

epismo record append <case-id> \
  --kind result --origin user \
  --content "Exception approved after legal review."

Create a Task only when responsibility or review must be coordinated. Add an assignee to the Case ACL before assignment.

epismo task create <case-id> --kind review \
  --title "Review the result" --subject-record-id <record-id>
epismo task close <task-id> --outcome approved --lock-version <n>
epismo case get <case-id>
epismo case close <case-id> --outcome completed --lock-version <n>

Do not store credentials, chain-of-thought, raw shell output, or heartbeats in Records.
