Author the framework-neutral contract that fills the vocabulary reference
D2 left open. Both the D2 register-form fix and the ratified
~/.claude/coord/register.md defer the status-token set to "the D3 track"
without defining it (register.md lines 42-44, 73).
Canonical set: planned / in-progress / partial / blocked / deferred / done /
not-applicable. 'active' folded into 'in-progress' (redundant synonym).
Two normative rules:
- partial is transitional — its output-A prose MUST carry owner + next-step;
never a terminal resting state. Output-A-local, so no conflict with D2's
output-B public-safety gate.
- deferred != blocked — voluntary postponement vs involuntary external wait;
the distinction encodes decision information.
Verified against ground truth: only planned (5x) + not-applicable (1x) in
use across ~/repos/*/STATE.md; 'active' unused (safe to drop); no existing
marker falls outside the set. Definition-before-use, not a migration.
Contract only; no global convention edited. Ratification into register.md
(replace the candidate list + '...' with the canonical set and the two
rules) is the next step, per §7.
