The state machine's `Stage` enum becomes the source of truth for pipeline
state. Six stages of work land together:
1. Clean wire vocabulary (`coding`, `merge`, `merge_failure`, ...) replaces
legacy directory-style strings (`2_current`, `4_merge`, ...) on the wire.
`Stage::from_dir` accepted both during deployment; new writes always
emit the clean form via `stage_dir_name`. Lexicographic `dir >= "5_done"`
checks in lifecycle.rs become typed `matches!` checks since the new
vocabulary doesn't sort in pipeline order.
2. `crdt_state::write_item` takes typed `&Stage`, serialising via
`stage_dir_name` at the CRDT boundary. `#[cfg(test)] write_item_str`
parses legacy strings for test fixtures.
3. `WorkItem::stage()` returns typed `crdt_state::Stage`; `stage_str()`
is gone from the public API. Projection dispatches on the typed enum.
4. `frozen` becomes an orthogonal CRDT register. `Stage::Frozen` and
`PipelineEvent::Freeze`/`Unfreeze` are removed; `transition_to_frozen`/
`unfrozen` set the flag directly without touching the stage register.
5. Watcher sweep and `tool_update_story`'s `blocked` setter route through
`apply_transition` so the typed transition table validates every
stage change. `update_story` gains a `frozen` field for symmetry.
6. One-shot startup migration rewrites pre-934 directory-style stage
registers (and sets `frozen=true` on items previously at `7_frozen`).
`Stage::from_dir` drops legacy aliases. The db boundary keeps a small
normaliser so callers with legacy strings (MCP, tests) still work.

Final 929 sweep: every YAML-shaped helper is gone. No production code
parses or writes YAML front matter anywhere.
Surface removed:
- db/yaml_legacy.rs (FrontMatter/StoryMetadata structs, parse_front_matter,
set_front_matter_field, yaml_residue marker) — file deleted.
- ItemMeta::from_yaml — deleted; callers pass typed ItemMeta::named(...) or
ItemMeta::default() and use typed CRDT setters (set_depends_on,
set_blocked, set_retry_count, set_agent, set_qa_mode, set_review_hold,
set_item_type, set_epic, set_mergemaster_attempted) for the rest.
- write_coverage_baseline_to_story_file + read_coverage_percent_from_json —
the coverage_baseline YAML field was write-only (nothing read it back);
removed along with its caller in agent_tools/lifecycle.rs.
- update_story_in_file's generic `front_matter` HashMap parameter —
tool_update_story now intercepts every known field name and routes it
to a typed CRDT setter; unknown keys are rejected with an explicit error
pointing at the typed setters. The function only takes user_story /
description sections now.
- All 117 ItemMeta::from_yaml callsites migrated. Where tests previously
passed a YAML-shaped content blob and relied on the helper to extract
name/depends_on/blocked/agent/qa, they now pass:
write_item_with_content(id, stage, content, ItemMeta::named("Foo"))
crate::crdt_state::set_depends_on(id, &[...]) // when needed
crate::crdt_state::set_blocked(id, true) // when needed
crate::crdt_state::set_agent(id, Some("...")) // when needed
- write_story_content + write_story_file (test helper) now take an
explicit `name: Option<&str>` instead of parsing it from content.
- db::ops::move_item_stage stopped re-parsing YAML on every stage
transition; metadata is read straight from the CRDT view when mirroring
the row into SQLite.
New CRDT setters added for symmetry:
- crdt_state::set_name (mirrors set_agent — explicit name updates).
cargo fmt --check, clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, and the
2830-test suite all pass.

Each chat command that previously read parse_front_matter for story
metadata (name, agent, depends_on, blocked, retry_count, merge_failure,
qa_mode) now reads from the typed CRDT API:
- WorkItem (via crdt_state::read_item) for pipeline-item registers.
- MergeJobView (via crdt_state::read_merge_job) for the merge failure
detail text, which has its own LWW-map CRDT entry.
Files migrated: depends.rs, freeze.rs, move_story.rs, overview.rs,
status/render.rs, triage.rs, unblock.rs, unreleased.rs.
unblock.rs: also removes the legacy front-matter cleanup branch that
fired when the typed Blocked→Coding transition failed. Post-929 there
is no YAML on disk to clean; the fallback now just resets retry_count
in the CRDT.
triage.rs: drops the YAML-only `review_hold` and `coverage_baseline`
fields from the dump. These have no CRDT register and were never
load-bearing on the triage output; if needed later, add a CRDT register
and surface it back.
Tests:
- The three status/render merge-failure rendering tests now seed a
MergeJob CRDT entry via write_merge_job instead of writing YAML.
- The unblock test that asserted YAML cleanup on disk is now an assertion
on the CRDT registers (blocked=false, retry_count=0). Also re-seeded
in `2_blocked` stage so the typed Blocked → Coding transition actually
fires (not the fallback path).
All 2855 tests pass; fmt clean; clippy clean.

Bug 901: `unblock_story` (and the chat `unblock` command) routed through
`parse_front_matter` and errored with "Missing front matter" on any
post-865 story (story content is now CRDT-only with no YAML on disk).
In `chat/commands/unblock.rs::unblock_by_story_id`:
- Drop the early `parse_front_matter` gate.
- Read story name and blocked state from the CRDT register API instead
of parsed YAML (`crdt_state::read_item`, `pipeline_state::read_typed`).
- Keep the legacy fallback cleanup, but gate it on the content actually
starting with a `---` YAML block, so CRDT-only stories don't hit a
parse error there either.
- Remove the now-unused `parse_front_matter` import.
Surfaced a second sub-bug: even when the state-machine transition
fired (`Blocked + Unblock → Coding`), the CRDT `blocked` register was
never explicitly cleared. Pre-865 the YAML-strip content_transform
cleared it as a side effect; post-865 there is no YAML to strip.
- Add `crdt_state::set_blocked(story_id, bool)` parallel to
`set_retry_count`. Wired through `crdt_state::write` and the
crate-level re-export.
- `agents::lifecycle::transition_to_unblocked` now calls
`set_blocked(story_id, false)` alongside `set_retry_count(0)` so
the legacy register stays in sync with the typed stage.
Test: `unblock_command_works_on_crdt_only_story_no_yaml` seeds a CRDT
entry with no YAML on disk, runs unblock, asserts success + cleared
blocked + retry_count=0. All 10 existing unblock tests still pass.

Strips the YAML front matter block and shows useful fields
(depends_on, agent, blocked, retries) as a summary line at the top.
Eliminates the duplicate title problem.

cargo fmt without --all fails with "Failed to find targets" in
workspace repos. This was blocking every story's gates. Also ran
cargo fmt --all to fix all existing formatting issues.

The mergemaster agent was burning all 30 turns polling get_merge_status
every 2 seconds while the merge pipeline takes ~2 minutes. It would
exhaust turns, exit, restart, and repeat — never seeing the result.
merge_agent_work now blocks with a 10-second internal poll loop and
returns the final result directly. The agent calls it once and gets
the answer. No more polling turns wasted.

Story 535's triage fix was overwritten by a subsequent merge that
resolved a conflict by taking the old filesystem-based version.
Re-applies the CRDT-based triage that reads from pipeline state
and content store, works for any pipeline stage.

read_all_items was iterating all CRDT entries including stale duplicates
from earlier stage writes. A story written multiple times (backlog →
current → done) would appear in the output multiple times with different
stages, causing ghost entries in the pipeline status and backlog views.
Now iterates only the index (story_id → visible_index map) which
represents the latest-wins deduplicated view of each story.
