/**
 * Regression guard for bugs #948 and #944.
 *
 * #948 (data loss): a `state patch` whose fields all fail to match still
 * rewrites STATE.md — bumping `last_updated`, resetting `milestone_name` to
 * the template placeholder, and resurrecting a stale `stopped_at` from an
 * old body `## Session` block (body-derived value overwrites a newer
 * frontmatter value written by `record-session`).
 *
 * #944: `state record-session --stopped-at X --resume-file Y` silently
 * drops the supplied values when the STATE.md body lacks the exact session
 * labels the in-place replace expects, returning `{"recorded": false}` at
 * exit 0 and only bumping `last_updated`.
 *
 * Shared root cause: `readModifyWriteStateMd` always writes STATE.md even
 * when the transform produced no change, and `syncStateFrontmatter`
 * re-derives frontmatter (including milestone_name / stopped_at) from the
 * possibly-stale body on every write.
 *
 * Fixes:
 *   1. No-op guard in `readModifyWriteStateMd`: when transform output ===
 *      input, skip the write entirely.
 *   2. `syncStateFrontmatter` preserves existing `milestone_name` / `milestone`
 *      when the derived value is the template placeholder `'milestone'`.
 *   3. `syncStateFrontmatter` prefers existing frontmatter `stopped_at` /
 *      `paused_at` over a body-derived value (frontmatter wins).
 *   4. `cmdStateRecordSession` auto-creates a canonical `## Session` section
 *      when `--stopped-at` / `--resume-file` are supplied but no labels exist.
