How Does One Role Know the Other Is Done? The Handoff as a Signal.
Role one writes the article, role two posts about it. For weeks that handoff ran on a quiet convention, one that held as long as someone remembered it. A signal is different: a state the second role can query itself, every time, whether or not anyone happens to be watching.

My team will resist this. Why resistance is a process problem.
The most common objection to AI operators does not come from the technology. It comes from your own team. The usual response is persuasion, and it is usually the wrong lever, because resistance almost always points at something the process left unsettled.
