+## Session Resumption
+
+Before starting a new deployment workflow, check whether any previous deployment was interrupted.
+
+**On startup (before asking what to deploy):**
+```bash
+# List any deployments with a resumable phase state.
+# Treat in-progress as resumable because an agent crash/kill may leave the
+# phase-state file before it can be rewritten to suspended.
+_jq_read() { local file=$1 field=$2
+  jq -r ".$field" "$file" 2>/dev/null || \
+  python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['$field'])" < "$file" 2>/dev/null
+}
+
+if [ -d .azure/deployments ]; then
+  for dir in .azure/deployments/*/; do
+    state_file="${dir}tracking/phase-state.json"
+    if [ -f "$state_file" ]; then
+      status=$(_jq_read "$state_file" status)
+      case "$status" in
+        in-progress|suspended|blocked|awaiting-confirmation)
+          dep=$(_jq_read "$state_file" deploymentId)
+          phase=$(_jq_read "$state_file" phase)
+          updated=$(_jq_read "$state_file" updatedAt)
+          echo "Found: $dep | $phase | $status | $updated"
+          ;;
+      esac
+    fi
+  done
+fi
+```
+
+**If one or more resumable deployments are found**, show a resume prompt before asking what to deploy:
+
+```markdown
+⏸️ In-Progress Deployment Found
+
+| Deployment | Last Stage | Status | Last Updated |
+|------------|-----------|--------|--------------|
+| {deploymentId} | {phase} | {status} | {updatedAt} |
+
+Would you like to:
+R. Resume — continue from {phase}
+N. Start a new deployment
+V. View details of the interrupted deployment
+```
+
+**If user chooses R:**
+1. Set `DEPLOYMENT_ID` to the found deployment's ID
+2. Read existing artifacts from `.azure/deployments/$DEPLOYMENT_ID/` to reconstruct context
+3. Determine the resume point from `completedPhases` in `phase-state.json`:
+   - Skip all phases listed in `completedPhases`
+   - Re-enter at the phase listed in `phase` with `status` of `in-progress`, `suspended`, `blocked`, or `awaiting-confirmation`
+4. For `blocked` at the security gate: re-show the blocking findings from `security-gate.json` and present options A/B/C/D again
+5. For `awaiting-confirmation`: re-display the deployment summary and wait for user approval
+6. For `in-progress` or `suspended` mid-phase: re-invoke the subagent for that phase with the existing artifact context
+
+**If user chooses N:** Proceed with a fresh deployment. Do not modify the interrupted deployment's state.
+
+**If user chooses V:** Read and display `requirements.json` summary and the current `phase-state.json`, then ask R or N.
+
+**Skip resume check if:**
+- User's opening message explicitly says "new deployment", "start fresh", "skip resume", or "ignore previous"
+- No `.azure/deployments/` directory exists
+- All found `phase-state.json` files have terminal statuses (`completed`, `failed`, `aborted`)

 **In Headless Mode:** Commit these files to the branch so the PR shows full deployment artifacts. The PR diff becomes the deployment review.
 
+**Phase State Tracking:**
+
+Write `tracking/phase-state.json` at every stage boundary so interrupted sessions can be resumed.
+
+**Pattern — write BEFORE invoking subagent (`status: in-progress`), then AFTER it returns (`status: completed`):**
+
+```bash
+# Before delegating to a subagent:
+mkdir -p ".azure/deployments/$DEPLOYMENT_ID/tracking"
+PHASE_STARTED_AT="$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"
+COMPLETED_PHASES_JSON="${COMPLETED_PHASES_JSON:-[]}"

+  --arg updatedAt "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" \
+  --arg mode "$MODE" \

+  }' > ".azure/deployments/$DEPLOYMENT_ID/tracking/phase-state.json"
+
+# After the subagent returns successfully:
+# Re-write with status: completed and the current phase added to completedPhases
+```
+
+**Phase names and transition events:**
+
+| Phase | Write `in-progress` when | Write `completed` when |
+|-------|--------------------------|------------------------|
+| `stage-1-requirements` | Gatherer invoked | `requirements.json` saved + user confirmed |
+| `stage-2-template` | Generator invoked | `template.json`, `security-analysis.md`, `preflight-report.md`, `cost-estimate.json` saved |
+| `stage-2.5-security-gate` | Gate evaluated | `security-gate.json` shows `PASSED` or `OVERRIDDEN` |
+| `stage-2.75-waf-review` | Architect invoked | `waf-review.md` saved |
+| `stage-2.85-confirmation` | Confirmation shown to user | User types yes/proceed/deploy |
+| `stage-3-deployment` | Deployer invoked | `deployment.log` saved with succeeded status |
+| `stage-4-validation` | Integration tests start | `tests.json` saved |
+
+**Terminal statuses (never resumed):** `completed`, `failed`, `aborted`
+
+**Resumable statuses:** `in-progress`, `suspended`, `blocked`, `awaiting-confirmation`
+
+`in-progress` is resumable because a crash, kill, or host interruption can stop the agent before it writes `suspended`. If `updatedAt` is very recent, tell the user it may represent a still-running session before offering R/N/V.
+
+**On any abort or unrecoverable error — write suspended state before ending:**
+```bash
+# Write status: suspended with a suspendReason before the session closes
+# Include all phases completed so far in completedPhases
+```
+
+**Special case — Stage 2.5 Security Gate BLOCKED, user chose D (abort for now):**
+Write `status: blocked` (not `suspended`) — resume will re-show the blocking findings from `security-gate.json` and offer A/B/C/D again.
+
+**Special case — Stage 2.85 awaiting confirmation:**
+Write `status: awaiting-confirmation` immediately after showing the deployment summary, before waiting for the user's yes/no. Resume will re-display the summary.
+
+**Final state — all stages complete:**
+Write `status: completed` with all 7 phase keys in `completedPhases`. This deployment is never offered for resumption.
