---

# Session Launch (VS Code Edition)

## 1. Automated Discovery
* **Shell:** Run `git log -1 --format="%h %cd"` to get version.
* **Shell:** Run `docker-compose ps` (if applicable) to check health.
* **Search:** Find the most recent `SESSION_SNAPSHOT` file in `documentation/project-history/`.

## 2. RAG Validation (The Upgrade)
* **Query:** Search workspace for "Architecture Standards" or "Tech Stack Rules".
* **Cross-Check:** Compare running services (Step 1) against the Standards (Step 2). Flag any unauthorized containers or config drift immediately.

## 3. The Menu
Present the **Action Menu** with specific context:
* **Resume:** [Task from Snapshot] (File: [Link])
* **Fix Drift:** [Violations found in Step 2]
