What happens if the receiving agent never accepts?

Ownership stays with the sender until the handoff is accepted, so the task is never left without an owner.

Agent handoffs

Hand off work between AI coding agents

Move an unfinished task from one coding agent to another without losing what was tried, decided, changed, or left unresolved.

The problem

A diff shows what changed. It rarely explains why, what failed, or what the next agent should do.
