A returning guide needs a Seasonal Kit after a prior return, reconciliation, or new season start. Operations must look back before moving forward, resolve or deliberately carry any open discrepancy, and then run a fresh prep and physical checkout.
Operations starts a new Seasonal Kit prep or re-checkout for the guide.
The new assignment begins with visibility into what happened to the previous one.
Open issues remain visible before any new prep begins.
This is the key moment: moving forward is allowed only after every old issue has an explicit treatment.
The next assignment starts as a new prep task rather than reopening the old kit.
Availability, sizes, substitutions, and item decisions are confirmed for the new assignment.
The new checkout follows the real exchange and moves custody to the guide again.
The guide sees the gear they hold now, while prior discrepancies remain an operations concern.
Reviews the guide's prior kit history, makes old discrepancies explicit, and starts the next kit lifecycle.
Receives a new prep task, prepares the current kit, and confirms it is ready for a new physical handoff.
Receives the newly prepared kit and sees only the current assignment after checkout.
Prior discrepancies beside the new prep and checkout status.
Why: Start the next kit lifecycle without erasing unfinished history.
A fresh prep task for the returning guide and the items needed now.
Why: Prepare the current assignment from real available stock.
Only the current assigned Seasonal Kit after checkout.
Why: Know which gear is their active responsibility now.
Re-checkout must not hide unresolved prior-season gear problems.
