+## Cleanup result
+
+Committed units:
+
+- `fba494d` Add Helpdesk issue API include serializer
+- `faad708` Automate post-import refresh and validation workflow
+- `b305544` Add semantic-index service, deployment assets, and tests
+- `4c931ba` Expand redMCP safe issue operations and HTTP handling
+- `42fc831` Add redmine-communicator skill docs and setup tooling
+- `def9084` Handoff notes for next agent/workflow
+- `22c8e91` Sanitize noisy MCP text fields by default
+- `a7d23cd` Resolve human project names in MCP project_id args
+
+Intentionally untracked local files:
+
+- `redMCP/startProd.sh`
+- `roadmap/`
+
+Recent validation run for redMCP changes:
+
+- `php -l app/McpDispatcher.php`
+- `php -l app/McpEnvironment.php`
+- `php -l app/mcp-http-router.php`
+- `php -l bin/redmcp-server.php`

+## Handoff notes for next session
+
+- Gitea private repo is created and current history was pushed.
+- Monorepo approach is acceptable; keep path-scoped commits and deployment-unit
+  boundaries.
+- Production semantic-index target is a separate host from production Redmine.
+- redMCP improvement focus is operational quality:
+  - useful error/access logging without console spam,
+  - easy background operation,
+  - simple install/remove/status workflow.
+- A single fixed systemd service is not preferred for redMCP because multiple
+  concurrent identities/API keys may be needed. Prefer an instance model.
+- If systemd is used for redMCP, implement a simple operator script with
+  `install`, `remove`, and `status` flows.
