 ## Goal
 
-Replace or augment the filesystem-based pipeline state with a CRDT document synced over WebSocket between nodes. Each node (Docker container on a different laptop) sees the full pipeline state and self-assigns work autonomously. No central scheduler.
+Replace the filesystem-based pipeline state (`.huskies/work/` stage directories) with a CRDT document synced over WebSocket between nodes. The CRDT becomes the single source of truth for pipeline metadata (stage, agent assignments, retry counts, blocked flags). Each node (Docker container on a different laptop) sees the full pipeline state and self-assigns work autonomously. No central scheduler.
+
+Story markdown files (content/AC), worktrees, and config files remain on the filesystem. Only the pipeline orchestration state moves into the CRDT.
