Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.
Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:
127 live docs = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
104 stamped here
19 held operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
3 held the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
1 untouched docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1
Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.
Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:
1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
(title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
`status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.
2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
(docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
itself. Raised in the worklist.
A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.
Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.

Local Fleet Lifecycle Transitions
Roster-v2 lifecycle.enabled and lifecycle.desired_state are the only persisted lifecycle authority. Systemd, tmux, generated environment, and heartbeat state are derived or observed.
| Event | Desired-state write | Runtime effect | Safety boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| fleet create | Adds enabled/stopped by default; --persisted-start records running |
None | Generation-guarded; validates full roster/projections. |
| fleet update | Preserves the existing enabled/desired state; updates other mutable fields | None | Generation-guarded; stable name and lifecycle are immutable on this path. |
| fleet delete | Removes exact roster member | None | Removes only generated projection; retains local/quarantine evidence. |
fleet apply / reconcile |
Never | Rebuilds projections; starts only enabled/running; stops disabled or stopped roster members | Current generation, private lock/paths, semantic validity, holder ownership, no unmanaged named-socket sessions. |
| fleet start | Never | One-shot exact service start | Exact enabled roster name and proven ownership. |
| fleet stop | Never | One-shot exact service stop | Exact roster name and proven ownership. |
| fleet restart | Never | One-shot exact service restart | Exact enabled roster name and proven ownership. |
| Reboot/service activation | Never | Current installation may activate enabled units without honoring roster lifecycle | Held for FCM-M3-002: boot preservation for stopped/disabled agents is not yet proven; inspect/disable units rather than assuming lifecycle-safe reboot. |
| v1 migration preview | Never | None | Observed active+present maps running; inactive+missing maps stopped; ambiguity blocks. |
| Cutover/canary | Held for FCM-M4-002 | Not implemented by preview | Must preserve every observed stopped state. |
| Rollback | Held for FCM-M4-002 | Not implemented | Must restore selected authority/projections without surprise starts or unmanaged targeting. |
Explicit apply/reconcile never starts a stopped roster agent. Direct lifecycle commands are explicit one-shot actions and do not persist intent. The current update operation preserves existing.lifecycle; there is no delivered generation-guarded CRUD operation for changing durable lifecycle after creation. Reboot preservation for stopped/disabled agents is not yet guaranteed because current enabled units and launcher projections do not carry the persisted lifecycle fence; that acceptance evidence remains FCM-M3-002.
Missing/stale generation, concurrent writer, unsafe path, ownership mismatch, unmanaged session, unsupported runtime, invalid projection, and lifecycle precondition failures return stable redacted JSON and non-zero status. No command targets fuzzy names, arbitrary sockets/commands/channels/secrets, or generated files as authority. Legacy sensitive values are never printed.
