# Story 491: Watcher fires on CRDT state transitions instead of filesystem events

## User Story

As a developer, I want the auto-assign loop, notifications, and WebSocket UI updates to subscribe to CRDT state transitions instead of filesystem directory watches.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Auto-assign triggers on CRDT state change (story entering a stage) instead of filesystem watcher
- [ ] Stage transition notifications fire from CRDT state changes
- [ ] WebSocket UI updates fire from CRDT state changes
- [ ] The filesystem watcher for .huskies/work/ is removed or deprecated
- [ ] Timer tick loop and dependency tick loop read from CRDT state
- [ ] agent: coder-opus
- [ ] depends_on: [490]

## Out of Scope

- TBD
