* docs(#3467): adr-3408 state.md write-path behavior contract * docs(#3467): correct write-seam caller list and adr heading depth Review findings from the Standards and Spec axes, fixed in place: - ADR behavior contract demoted from H2 to `### 8` with `#### 8.x` subsections, matching ADR-3180's `### 7` / `#### 7.1` precedent the front matter claims to follow. - CONTEXT.md placed the STATE.md factory-reset primitive at verify.cts:1925. It moved to health-diagnostic.cts:337 when cmdValidateHealth migrated onto the rule table (#3309); verify.cts now has no writeStateMd call. The design intent was correct — only the address was stale. - A repo-wide scan found three direct writeStateMd callers, not two: cmdStateSync, cmdMilestoneComplete, and the REGENERATE_STATE remedy. The last is documented as a sanctioned permanent exception — it is a factory reset, so preservation would restore the values it was invoked to discard. - phase.cts comment citation corrected to :2953-2957. - Amendment 4 attribution corrected: the recorded owner-file exemption failure is roadmap-parser.cts; the state.cts transfer is this ADR's own extrapolation. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>

Module owning STATE.md parse, field extraction, field replacement, status normalization, frontmatter reconstruction, and `## Current Position` section scoping (`stateCurrentPositionSlice`, #1956 — the one owner of that scope for the read path; `state.cts`'s `matchCurrentPositionSection` is a thin alias over it, and the `drift-guard phase-status` seam consumes it, so the #2956 archive-shadowing fix cannot be re-derived into a second copy — the byte-exact mutation path served by `state-transition.cts`'s `locateCurrentPosition`/`sliceCurrentPositionSection` is a deliberately separate, un-consolidated locator, #3187). `stateFieldValue` (#3187) is the single owner of the #1760 frontmatter-then-body field fallback chain, consolidating the 14 re-derivations of that ladder onto one scope-carrying (`complete`/`truncated`/`unscoped`/`unreadable`) primitive. It does not scan `.planning/phases` and does not own persistence or locking; phase/plan/summary counts arrive from inventory/progress Modules as inputs, and read-modify-write paths remain Adapters. Source of truth: `gsd-core/bin/lib/state-document.cjs`. **Commit provenance (#2573):** `state_head` records the full sha STATE.md was written against, stamped by `syncStateFrontmatter` and omitted entirely outside a git repo. `readStateHeadFreshness(cwd, stateHead)` (`src/state.cts`) is the single derivation consumed by both `validate.health` (W024) and smart-entry — it returns `{ state_head, current_commit, commits_behind, commit_stale }` with **tri-state** `commit_stale`: `null` = unknown (no stamp, no git, or a stamp that is not an ancestor of HEAD after a history rewrite), `false` = known fresh, `true` = the codebase has moved. Mirrors the graphify commit-staleness contract deliberately. It is a freshness PROXY, never a drift measurement: `rev-list` counts unrelated commits and the stamp restamps on every state write, so a low count means STATE.md was written recently, not that its contents are accurate — it must never gate.

### STATE.md Transition Module

Module owning STATE.md lifecycle/maintenance transitions as intent-based methods (`beginPhase`, `advancePlan`, `completePhase`, `plannedPhase`, `milestoneSwitch`, `milestoneComplete`, `patch`, `sync`, `prune`, `update`, `rebuild`). Pure core `(content, intent, deps) → newContent` with injected I/O (file read/write, lock, disk scan); consults a field-classification table that names each STATE.md field's class (`derived-from-body` | `derived-from-disk` | `derived-from-external` | `curated` | `free`) and its preservation policy. Supersedes the 14 scattered RMW callbacks in `state.cts` and the direct `writeStateMd` caller in `milestone.cts:552` (phase.cts's former direct caller has since been migrated away); verify's `regenerateState` factory-reset primitive stays as a direct `writeStateMd` call (`verify.cts:1925`). Absorbs `syncStateFrontmatter` + `readModifyWriteStateMd`'s post-sync preservation block; Encoding 3 (`cmdStateBuildFrontmatter`) stays separate — read path concern. Sibling/super-module of the STATE.md Document Module; consumes its `stateReplaceField`/`stateExtractField` primitives. Body section structure (`## Current Position`, `## Session`, etc.) lives as a constants block inside the Module. Append-only transitions (`addDecision`, `addBlocker`, etc.) stay on today's RMW seam for now. Targets the #1760/#1761/#1743/#1695/#1264/#1255/#1257/#3242 bug cluster. Migration per ADR-1372 §T6 sequenced as substrate + `beginPhase` first (PR1), then transition-by-transition with characterization tests first per transition. **ADR-1817 adds `rebuild` as the capstone 11th transition — the body-structure derivability contract.** Re-derives `## Current Position` prose from frontmatter and `## By-Phase Progress` table from phase dirs on disk; preserves `## Session` / `## Decisions` / unknown sections verbatim; de-duplicates `## Session Continuity Archive` (keep most-recent N, default 3); appends a structured audit entry to `## Rebuild Log` (`timestamp`, `kind`, `section`, `before`, `after`, `reason`) for every mutation. Hard idempotency guarantee: a no-mutation rebuild appends no log entry, so two successive invocations on a clean file are byte-identical. Non-overlapping with `sync` (3 lightweight frontmatter fields, auto-triggered) and orthogonal to `auto_prune_state` (age-based removal) — `rebuild` reconciles with current canonical sources, `prune` removes by retention policy, the two compose (rebuild first, then prune). Section ordering is invariant: rebuild rewrites content in place, never reorders. Targets the #1776/#1761/#1591 body-drift cluster that survived ADR-1769's per-field transitions. Phased per ADR-1817: Phase 0 = this ADR + predicates (closes #1817), Phase 1 = `rebuildCore` body + `rebuild` dispatch case + drift-class unit tests (#1827), Phase 2 = `cmdStateRebuild` CLI + `--dry-run`/`--verbose` + integration tests + docs + changeset (#1826). Source of truth: `gsd-core/bin/lib/state-transition.cjs` (generated from `src/state-transition.cts`). `state_head` (#2573) is classified `{ source: 'free', preservation: 'derive' }` — an ambient git read recomputed on every write, like `last_updated`; never preserved, because a stale stamp would claim STATE.md was written against a commit it wasn't.

### STATE.md Status Lifecycle (ADR-2207)
|
||||
The `Status` field in STATE.md follows a strict lifecycle: `Ready to plan` → `All phases complete` (all phases done, milestone awaiting formal close) → `<version> milestone complete` (terminal, written only by the milestone-close verb `milestoneCompleteCore`) → `Awaiting next milestone` (archived). Phase-completion verbs write `All phases complete` on the last phase — never `Milestone complete` (the overloaded bare value was removed in #2204 per ADR-2207 to decouple phase-level writes from milestone termination). `normalizeStateStatus` maps any status containing "complete" → `completed`, so consumers using the normalized projection (workstream inventory's `status` field, statusline) recognize `All phases complete` without code changes. Note: `isCompletedInventory` (workstream-inventory-builder.cts) intentionally checks only for the terminal `\bmilestone\s+complete\b` / `\barchived\b` — `All phases complete` returns `false` (intermediate, not terminal).
