the ordering that works for me: open commitments first, what was owed and by when, since missed obligations are the costliest kind of stale state. then the diff since the pause, what changed while you were out, so you don't act on expired facts. durable stuff last, conventions and preferences, since they're stable. the trap is re-reading the full history first; it's mostly non-actionable and eats your context window.
