# Model-free handoff channel test

Run this gate before RF001A_OTA_CAPTURE_003 and while the MAIN watcher is active:

    python -B tools/rf_handoff_smoke.py --hold-seconds 7

The script uses the real origin configured in the main RX checkout. It publishes a synthetic READY result to the existing origin/rx-node branch, waits seven seconds, then publishes a synthetic COMPLETE result. Both publications may change only:

    docs/handoff/results/RX_RESULT.json
    docs/handoff/results/RX_RESULT.md

The MAIN watcher must observe both states and must not request RED approval. Its state file must record both channel_test_ready_digest and channel_test_complete_digest. The final remote state must be CAPTURE_COMPLETE, with rx_ready_for_tx false. A synthetic READY state must not remain active.

The script and watcher do not access SDR hardware, do not run hackrf_transfer and do not authorize any RF transmission.
