ddde001af6 enhance(#3873): the STATE.md schema — one owner, generated artifacts (#3880)
* test(#3873): failing-first locale parity, plus tripwires for what must not move

Pins ADR-3473 §8.8 at the artifact a reader actually sees. The English STATE.md
reference carries a Status lifecycle section that is missing from all four
translations — the section documenting the status enum whose clobbering is
#3853. The test derives the heading set rather than hard-coding the missing
one, and names the locale and the heading when it fails.

Two tripwires that must pass today and after. The field-drift guard still
catches a re-derived fallback ladder: §8.8 instructs deleting that script, and
that instruction rests on a wrong premise about what it guards, so the test
stops a future reader from deleting it on the ADR's word. And last_activity's
label resolution is pinned to what ships today, because it is declared in one
of the two tables this phase consolidates and not the other — the
consolidation must not silently pick a side.

The locale test buckets under docs rather than state, which is what it tests;
that bucket is allowlisted with justification rather than folded into an
unrelated docs suite. It reads only markdown, so it carries no allow-test-rule
marker — a marker there would suppress nothing and would grow the unverified
pool against its ceiling.

* feat(#3873): one schema owns the STATE.md key set, three tables become projections

ADR-3473 §8.8. The key set was declared in four places that had to agree by
hand and already did not: FIELD_CLASSIFICATION, FRONTMATTER_BODY_SOURCE,
FRONTMATTER_KEY_TO_BODY_LABEL and buildStateFrontmatter's emit behavior. One
frozen null-prototype schema now declares each key's type, enum, cardinality,
source, preservation, body source, body label, accepted parse shapes and
whether it is emitted unconditionally; the three tables are derived from it at
module load.

The projections are byte-identical to the literals they replace, key order
included, and the parity tests compare against verbatim copies of today's
tables rather than re-deriving both sides from the schema — a parity test fed
from one source proves nothing, which is how a consolidation ships a changed
policy under a green test.

last_activity was the live disagreement: present in one table, absent from the
other. The schema declares what ships today rather than the tidier answer, and
a test pins it.

The schema is a leaf module and owns the four field-policy types, re-exported
from state-transition so existing importers are untouched — the same split
health-diagnostic-types made to break a CJS require cycle.

* feat(#3873): generate the schema-derived regions, parity-check the prose tables

ADR-3473 §8.8's generator half. gen-state-md-docs.cjs owns marked regions in
the shipped template and all five reference docs, follows gen-features.cjs's
fail-closed contract, and is wired into regen:derived and lint:generated-sync.

The Status lifecycle section was missing from all four translations — the
section documenting the status enum behind #3853 — and is now generated into
every locale. Field cardinality is a new generated table: pure schema data,
no prose, so nothing to lose.

The Field-reference and Status-values tables are parity-CHECKED rather than
generated. Their Purpose, When-populated and Matched-text columns are
genuinely hand-translated per locale, and §8.8 itself says prose stays
hand-translated; generating them from an English registry would overwrite four
locales' translations on every write. The row set is checked against the schema
instead, so a key added to one and not the other fails, which is what field
drift actually means. Building that check found last_activity_desc
undocumented in all five tables.

Three keys the docs describe are absent from the schema — active_phase,
next_action, next_phases. They are grandfathered by name, not by wildcard, so a
fourth fails: a declared gap with a forcing function rather than a silent one.

* fix(#3873): declare what the parsers do, and close the shape-parity gap

Two declarations in the new schema described intended behavior rather than
actual — the defect class this epic exists to end, committed inside the epic.
Both were caught by executing the parsers instead of reading their docstrings.

current_plan.acceptedShapes claimed ['N', 'N of M']. Standalone, the hybrid
shape errors; the path that looks like support is parseInt truncating '2 of 5'
to 2 and discarding the rest. Narrowed to ['N']. The parser is deliberately NOT
fixed here: that is #3784 and PR #3791 is already doing it. When #3791 lands
this row must widen, and the shape test will go red until it does — the schema
and the parser cannot drift apart quietly, which is what §8.8's checked-not-
generated rule is for.

STATUS_LIFECYCLE_ENUM claimed to be the closed set status can hold.
normalizeStateStatus passes unrecognized prose through unchanged, so it is not
closed at runtime. The seven members are the canonical values it maps onto; the
docstring now says that and the test asserts the real lenient contract.

Closes the acceptance item that a test asserts the parsers accept exactly the
declared shapes: the check is table-driven over every row carrying
acceptedShapes, guarded against passing vacuously on an empty set, and fails
loudly if a future row has no registered driver. Adds the unwired-label throw
and the fast-check property that every projection agrees with its schema row.

* fix(#3873): keep the shipped template's frontmatter first, and make row 27 able to fail

The remote matrix caught 12 failures with one cause. Making the template's
frontmatter a generated region wrapped it in its own yaml fence ahead of the
markdown fence, so extractFileTemplate and readShippedStateTemplateBody — which
both match the single markdown block — found the heading first, not the
frontmatter. That breaks the contract every new project's STATE.md is created
from: bug #21 and epic #1969 B8 pin that the File Template block starts with
frontmatter and carries gsd_state_version.

The markers now sit inside the single markdown fence, so the fence opens before
the frontmatter and the region still ends ahead of the heading. Same layout as
before this phase, with markers embedded rather than a second fence.

Row 27 existed to catch exactly this and did not, because it was writer-seeded:
it asserted against the generator's own output shape, so it passed on the broken
template. It now parses the fence the way production does and was verified to
fail against the broken shape before being trusted against the fixed one. A test
that would not have caught the bug it exists to prevent is worse than no test.

The emitted-attribution failure was separate and the fragment was the wrong
remedy: gsd-core/templates/state.md self-attributes under a verbatim-copy
identity rule, so a diff touching it needs no acknowledgment. Fragment deleted
rather than left explaining nothing.

* docs(#3873): how to change the STATE.md schema

The phase gate was right and my docs artifact was wrong. I listed
lint:generated-sync as the second enablement step, which is a verification
command dressed as one, and then claimed a one-step sequence owed no how-to.

The real sequence is build:lib then regen:derived, and the ordering is a trap:
the generator reads the COMPILED schema, so regenerating before building
regenerates against the previous schema and commits artifacts that look
plausible while disagreeing with the code just written. A reference table
cannot carry an ordering dependency; that is what the how-to test is for.

The page covers adding, changing and removing a key, every reason code the
check emits and what to do about each, what is generated versus hand-translated
and why the two prose-bearing tables are parity-checked instead of generated,
adding a language, and the three grandfathered keys. Indexed from docs/README.md.

1863f5569c enhance(#3871): the state transaction — mandatory snapshot, open()/rebuild() (#3874)
* test(#3871): failing-first regressions for the dropped curated progress block

Pins ADR-3473 §8.6 / #3756 at the consumer's output: state record-session and
state add-decision on an archived-milestone project drop the curated progress
frontmatter entirely, exit 0, and report nothing. Reproduced against the real
CLI before writing the tests, not inferred from the issue text.

Also adds the unit-level probe that applyStatePreservation's preserve-always
row is inert on a resyncing write, and an over-preservation guard that an
empty project is never inflated.

Refs #3871

* feat(#3871): make the STATE.md pre-write snapshot mandatory via open()/rebuild()

ADR-3473 §8.6. StatePreservationInput's nullable preFm and the always-present
preFmSnapshot were the same extractFrontmatter call, one of them nulled on
resync — a policy flag baked into a snapshot. Both collapse into a single
StateTransaction whose snapshot cannot be absent: openStateTransaction()
applies preservation, rebuildStateTransaction() does not, and both carry the
snapshot because the reporting phase needs it either way. An absent snapshot
is now a construction failure; an empty one stays legal, because that is what
a document with no parseable frontmatter honestly has.

writeStateMd requires a rebuild transaction, which types ADR-3408 §8.3's
closed exception list at both call sites (state sync, health --repair) instead
of matching them as strings in a ratcheted baseline.

Fixes the dropped curated progress block: an all-zero or absent derived total
set is an unmeasured scan, not a measurement, so the curated block stands.
Also fixes two defects surfaced while building — preserve-always reported a
mutation even when it restored an identical value, and it re-entered the
curated object by reference, which would alias the snapshot the next phase
diffs against.

Refs #3871

* fix(#3871): close the three remaining subsumed defects and restore the arm the type does not replace

Review of the first two commits found four things.

The guard shrink deleted the seam-bypass axis whole, but only its
writeStateMd( arm became redundant. Its other arm catches a call site
re-assembling syncStateFrontmatter + applyPostSyncPreservation instead of the
owned composition, which the transaction type does not make unrepresentable
and which #3469 found live. Restored as findCompositionBypasses, terminal
rather than ratcheted.

Three of the four issues this phase claims were untouched. All three are the
epic's own shape and are fixed at the seam: current_phase_name is reasserted
from the curated value when the caller names none, and cmdStateJson stops
carrying a hand-maintained list parallel to FIELD_CLASSIFICATION and projects
it instead.

The construction failure that is the point of this phase had no test. Every
enumerated matrix row now has one, including the measured-versus-unmeasured
coercion boundary and a seeded property that no curated key is ever dropped.

ADR-3473 §8.6 said the guard 'keeps only its raw-write check'. Verified
against next: there was no raw-write check, and four other checks it does not
name. Amended in place with the evidence. ARCHITECTURE.md separately
advertised a preservation policy the code had deleted.

Refs #3871

* fix(#3871): do not let the unmeasured-scan rule block an explicitly-requested resync

The remote matrix caught over-preservation, the failure this phase's own
negative space says must not happen. state update Progress re-derives the
block from the body the caller just rewrote; on a project with no phase dirs
the derivation yields zero totals, the unmeasured rule read that as 'the scan
measured nothing', and the stale curated percent was restored over the resync
the user asked for.

preserve-always already said what the missing condition was: never overwrite
unless the caller explicitly names this field. explicitProgressField carries
it and is derived from shouldResyncStateProgress, not set by hand at a call
site, so it cannot drift from what the caller asked for.

Two defects found in the same mechanism and fixed with it. readModifyWriteStateMd
enumerates its option keys, so a new option was silently dropped rather than
rejected. And the raw-write axis captured its first argument up to the first
comma, which lands inside a nested path.join, so a write to a STATE.md literal
was invisible to it — the prove-it-can-fail test caught that one immediately.

No test assertion was weakened; all three frontmatter rows encode #3242, #1969
B3 and #1972 and stand unchanged.

Refs #3871

* docs(#3871): record why the raw-write check is kept, not why it was named

The amendment justified findRawStateWrites as 'written because §8.6 requires
it to exist', which is cargo-culting the contract and would have been the
wrong reason to keep anything. The real reason is that writeStateMd acquires
the STATE.md lockfile and a raw fs.writeFileSync acquires nothing, so this is
a lock bypass and lost-update is the #500/#905/#1230 family — and after this
phase it is the one reachable path into the file that nothing else covers.

Also records why ADR-3408 §8.6's deletion of the 'clear' policy is not the
precedent it looks like: 'clear' was dead vocabulary in a closed enum, this is
coverage of a reachable path.

7bbbe495d7 docs(#3473): ADR-3473 — enforcement by construction, one owner per invariant (Phase 0) (#3870)
Phase 0 of epic #3473 ships this ADR alone. Every rule in §8 carries a
status of Enforced or Required — Phase N.

§8.1–§8.5 state the epic's B1–B5 criteria as contract rules with no phase
assigned yet. §8.6–§8.8 assign Phases 1–3 to the STATE.md family that
ADR-3180 and ADR-3408 left between them: the write seam's unvalidated
input, its classification-excluded reporting, and the schema transcribed
by hand into nine artifacts.

Derivation authority is explicitly NOT in scope here — it lands as
ADR-3180 Amendment 8, generalizing §7.5's already-locked sentence.
