Tom Boucher ec681e3c21 fix(#2567): scope Paused At to ## Session + guard Last Activity date regression (#2660)
* test(#2567): add failing regression for stale state field overwrites

buildStateFrontmatter extracts Last Activity and Paused At from the full
STATE.md body via stateExtractField, which matches the first 'Field:' line
anywhere. Historical archive sections containing stale field-shaped lines
silently overwrite the correct frontmatter value on every sync, and because
the poisoning line stays in the body it regresses on the next write.

Same divergence class as Bug #2444 (which scoped Stopped At to ## Session
but did not propagate). Failing-first: all three tests reproduce the bug
on unmodified next (verified via the dedicated red run on the test-only
commit).

* fix(#2567): scope Paused At to ## Session + guard Last Activity date

Two complementary fixes for the stale-archive-overwrites-frontmatter bug
class, chosen per field semantics:

- Paused At is a session field: scope extraction to ## Session (via the
  existing matchSessionSection helper), exactly mirroring the #2444 fix for
  Stopped At. A stale 'Paused At:' line in an archive section can no longer
  win over the current value. Falls back to full body when no ## Session.

- Last Activity has no single canonical section (it appears in the
  preamble, ## Configuration, and ## Current Position across STATE.md
  layouts), so a section scope cannot reliably exclude archive copies.
  Instead guard the information-losing direction: when the body-derived
  date is OLDER than the existing frontmatter date, keep the existing
  value and description (preferNewerLastActivity). Applied at both the
  write seam (syncStateFrontmatter) and the read seam (cmdStateJson) so
  they agree. Non-date values pass through unchanged.

A first attempt scoped ALL current-state fields to the body preamble, but
that broke STATE.md variants where the fields legitimately live inside
## Configuration / ## Current Position (regressed 4 frontmatter.test.cjs
suites). This minimal fix targets only the two fields the issue names.

Changeset Fragments

This directory holds per-PR CHANGELOG fragments. Every PR with user-facing changes drops one (or more) <random-name>.md files here describing its CHANGELOG entry. Fragments are consolidated into the top-level CHANGELOG.md at release time.

Why

Two PRs that both edit the ### Fixed block of CHANGELOG.md always conflict on merge — git can't pick a serialization order without human input. Two PRs that each add a fresh .changeset/<unique-name>.md never conflict because they don't share lines.

See #2975 for the full rationale.

Adding a fragment

node scripts/changeset/new.cjs \
  --type Fixed \
  --pr 1234 \
  --body "fix the thing — explain the user-visible change in one sentence"

This writes .changeset/<adjective>-<noun>-<noun>.md with frontmatter and a body. Three random words → concurrent PRs don't collide.

Format

---
type: Fixed
pr: 1234
---
**`/gsd-foo` no longer drops trailing slashes** — explain the user-visible change.

Allowed type: values follow Keep a Changelog: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security.

Opting out

PRs that legitimately have no user-facing impact can add the no-changelog label. CI honors it. When unsure, add the fragment.

At release time

Promotion is automatic. The release workflow's finalize job runs:

node scripts/changeset/cli.cjs render --version vX.Y.Z --date YYYY-MM-DD --allow-empty

This reads every fragment, groups bullets by type:, replaces ## [Unreleased] with a new ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD block, opens a fresh ## [Unreleased] above, and deletes consumed fragments. The --allow-empty flag ensures a no-change release still gets a dated heading (with a _No notable changes._ placeholder). A subsequent verify step confirms the promotion landed correctly. Maintainers do not run this by hand.

Archived fragments

.changeset/archived/ holds fragments for already-shipped releases (≤ 1.3.1), retained for provenance. Their content was hand-curated into the dated ## [1.x.y] sections of CHANGELOG.md during the #690 backfill — they were never consumed by render. All changeset tooling enumerates .changeset/ non-recursively, so archived fragments are never picked up or rendered. Do not move them back to the top level.
