# Workspace authority — multi-root tab is not PRIMARY

In a multi-root Cursor / IDE workspace, **never** treat a non-`product_order` handover as
product sequencing PRIMARY without running:

```bash
ok workspace status
# or
ok workspace check-next
```

The focused editor tab is **not** authority. Prefer basenames
`{REPO_SLUG}-OVERSEER-HANDOVER.md` / `{REPO_SLUG}-ROADMAP.md` so tabs are distinguishable
(§MR.6.5). Bare `OVERSEER-HANDOVER.md` across members is a `board_name_violation` under
`strict_board_names` (doctor warning; check-next still keys on tip freshness only).

When `workspace:` is configured and this session advanced product_order PRIMARY, multi-repo
SD-17 close-out requires refreshing each `relay: true` member’s product tip
(`role=relay` or `role=product_relay`) until `ok workspace check-next` exits `0`.
Single-repo `ok governance-sync` remains required and does **not** write peer repos.
