Optimal New Session Startup Prompt

🎯 Recommended Startup Message

I'm starting a new session to continue work on the Tractatus AI Safety Framework project.

Current status:
- Previous session completed all 3 sprints (CSP compliance, Admin UI, Data Migration, Performance, Accessibility)
- All 5 quality gates achieved (0 CSP violations, WCAG AA compliance, 100/100 Lighthouse scores)
- All fixes deployed and validated on production
- 25 commits ahead of origin (not yet pushed to GitHub)

Priority for this session:
Implement Task 7 from SCHEDULED_TASKS.md: Footer Language Persistence & Privacy Page Translations

Please:
1. Review SESSION_HANDOFF_2025-10-19_PERFORMANCE_ACCESSIBILITY.md for complete context
2. Run session initialization procedures from CLAUDE.md
3. Confirm readiness to proceed with footer i18n implementation

Session type: NEW (not continuation)

---

📋 What Claude Will Do

1. Session Initialization (Automatic)

   • Run node scripts/session-init.js
   • Verify local dev server on port 9000
   • Load framework components
   • Check instruction history
   • Verify CSP compliance

2. Context Loading

   • Read SESSION_HANDOFF document
   • Review SCHEDULED_TASKS.md for Task 7 details
   • Understand current project state

3. Readiness Confirmation

   • Confirm all systems operational
   • Ready to begin footer i18n work

---

🚀 Alternative Quick Start (If You Know What You Want)

If you want to skip the handoff review and jump straight to implementation:

Start implementing Task 7: Footer Language Persistence & Privacy Page Translations.

Requirements:
1. Make footer.js language-persistent with localStorage
2. Translate privacy.html into English, German, and French
3. Add language selector icons to footer and navbar
4. Maintain WCAG AA compliance

Please begin with the footer component implementation.
