# Resuming a Session

Read the chosen `{doc_workspace}/.memlog.md` **in full** — the one time you read the memlog. Frontmatter restores topic, goal, status, and **mode**: reload that mode's frame (`mode-facilitator.md` / `mode-partner.md` / `mode-autonomous.md`) and hold it again. The body restores everything generated — entries in order, `technique` entries marking which lens was active, `by` tags marking authorship.

Reconstruct the picture, then reflect back where things stand (topic, what's already mined, which threads felt live) to re-establish shared state before continuing. Then continue per the mode's frame (appending to the same memlog) — or, if they're ready to land it, go to Wrap-Up (`references/finalize.md`).
