Quarterly Handoff Audit Report

Problem Description

At the end of each quarter, an engineering manager reviews all open handoff packets left by agents and engineers across active projects. The goal is to identify which tasks are in a state that can be resumed immediately, which ones require some remediation before resuming, and which ones represent a more serious problem that needs escalation.

Three handoffs from the current quarter are ready for audit. They are from different projects and were prepared by different team members. The manager needs a structured report that gives an at-a-glance status for each handoff and enough detail to take action.

Output Specification

Write the audit report to quarterly-audit.md. For each handoff, provide enough detail that the manager can act on the findings immediately. Conclude with a summary that shows the overall status of all three projects at a glance.
