 - recommended next MM task: reconcile the shared contracts first, then decide whether missing `ROADMAP.md` and `TODO.md` should be added as template files or downgraded from "required" to "downstream-onboarding required"

+- reviewed `.mm.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `README.md`, `INIT.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `docs/operator-onboarding-checklist.md`, `minions/chat/README.md`, `minions/roles/CM.md`, `minions/roles/OM.md`, and `minions/plans/milestone-plan-template.md`
+- confirmed the current drift backlog is still open:
+  - `INIT.md`, `minions/roles/CM.md`, and `minions/roles/OM.md` still use the pre-`SM` runtime handoff order
+  - `INIT.md` and `minions/chat/README.md` still omit `SM` from `NEXT OWNER`
+  - `README.md`, `INIT.md`, `MEMORY.md`, `docs/operator-onboarding-checklist.md`, and `minions/plans/milestone-plan-template.md` still require `ROADMAP.md` and `TODO.md`, but those files are still absent from the template repo
+  - `MEMORY.md` still references `REQUIREMENTS.md`, which is absent and not defined in onboarding
+- created `minions/chat/2026-04-10.md` for the durable MM bootstrap announcement required by the shared chat workflow
+- active MM recommendation: fix the shared handoff-contract drift first, then decide whether `ROADMAP.md`, `TODO.md`, and `REQUIREMENTS.md` should exist in the template or only be required during downstream onboarding
