- **Summary**: User-provided argument OR generate from conversation context

### Step 2: Write session context document

```

**Section 2: Recent Sessions log** (append new entry at top)
```markdown
## Recent Sessions

| Date | Project | Summary |
|------|---------|---------|
| 2026-02-01 | Story Magic | Code review completed, 9 docs written |
```
