Mark a checkpoint in the current conversation — compact it into a durable handoff document so a fresh agent can resume the work without context loss. Use when the user wants to preserve session state for a later or parallel session — phrases like "hand this off", "write a handoff", "drop a wheypoint", "checkpoint this", "compact the conversation", "I'm running low on context", "save where we are for the next session", "prep a handoff for another agent", "/wheypoint". Use even when the user just says "wrap up" or "I need to clear context" mid-task. Do NOT use for per-phase pipeline handoffs — those belong to `/cook`, `/press`, `/age`, and `/cure`.

/wheypoint captures just enough state for a cold reader to resume.
