# Story 68: Frontend Pipeline State Stale After Server Restart

## User Story

As a user viewing the web UI, I want the pipeline panel to show the correct state after a server restart, so that I am not looking at stale stage data from before the restart.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Server scans .story_kit/work/ directories on startup and loads current pipeline state from the filesystem
- [ ] Frontend re-fetches full pipeline state on WebSocket reconnect
- [ ] Pipeline panel accurately reflects filesystem state even if file moves happened while the server was down

## Out of Scope

- TBD
