Bug Report: State File Enforcement

Methodology

Reviewed status.py implementation of .state file format, approval sub-states, atomic writes, forbidden artifacts per phase, task creation gate, and state transition rules.

Acceptance Criteria

# Criterion Result
1 .state file format with approval sub-states ✅
2 Atomic write mechanism (tmp+rename) ✅
3 Forbidden artifacts per phase enforced ✅
4 --validate-folder flags folders without .state ✅
5 --audit flags manually created task folders ✅
6 Task creation gate (--create-task) ✅
7 Approval sub-states for research/design/decompose/test_design ✅
8 :awaiting_approval → :approved only via --approve ✅
9 .state excluded from artifact heuristics ✅

Findings

  1. Minor: The .gitignore pattern for .state was not explicitly added to a project-level gitignore — it's documented as metadata but not enforced in version control.

Verdict: PASS
