type: Fixed
pr: 3447
---
Six STATE.md frontmatter fields whose preservation policy is declared in the field-classification table were not honored by the table-driven preservation pass — `last_activity_desc`, `paused_at`, `current_phase`, `current_plan` (preserve-when-unchanged) and `milestone`, `milestone_name` (preserve-if-placeholder). The pass now implements every declared row, so editing a preservation row is a one-row table edit as the table's own contract documents. Curated frontmatter values for `paused_at` / `current_phase` / `current_plan` now survive a body-only write (e.g. `state update`) even when the body carries a stale-but-present derived value — previously only an absent derived value triggered the fallback, so a stale body value silently overwrote the curated frontmatter value. `last_activity_desc` is now governed by a single rule (the table row) rather than a separate date-comparison guard that could disagree with it. (#3258)

//
// status and stopped_at (above) carry field-specific guards (the 'unknown'
// sentinel; ## Session scoping done by the caller) and stay on their
// dedicated blocks. The other preserve-when-unchanged rows —
// last_activity_desc, paused_at, current_phase, current_plan — share a
// uniform #1230 delta heuristic with no extra sentinel, so they are driven
// from the table in one loop. This is the reconciliation the maintainer
// rescope to #3258 asked for: the row is honored by the table-consuming pass
// itself, not only by a weaker absent-value fallback elsewhere.
//
// For last_activity_desc this replaces preferNewerLastActivity's date-based
// desc writes (removed from syncStateFrontmatter + cmdStateJson): the field
// is now governed by exactly one rule, this one. For paused_at / current_phase
// / current_plan the declared delta heuristic is strictly stronger than the
// #905 absent-fallback that syncStateFrontmatter still applies on the
// writeStateMd / cmdStateJson paths this pass does not reach — same policy,
// two enforcement points, they agree by construction (both restore the
// pre-write snapshot value when they fire).
