# Destination State
## Purpose
`internal/state` parses, validates, writes, and compares `.distributor.json` destination state.
## Inputs and outputs
Input is JSON destination state plus the current source manifest, pipeline id, destination id, and whether the destination path has unmanaged content. Output is a deterministic comparison outcome and reason.
## State behavior
`.distributor.json` requires:
- `schema_version: 1`
- `pipeline_id`
- `destination_id`
- `published_at`
- `source.manifest`
- `outputs`
`distributor_version` is optional diagnostic metadata. `published_at` parses as RFC3339 and distributor-written state serializes it as RFC3339 UTC.
The embedded `source.manifest` is validated with the same source manifest rules used by `internal/bundle`.
## Outputs
Each output records `path`, `kind`, `source_path`, `sha256`, and `size`. Supported output kinds are `source` and `generated`. Generated outputs require `transform`.
## Comparison
Comparison outcomes cover absent destination state, unmanaged destination content, invalid state, pipeline or destination mismatch, same source manifest, older destination source, newer destination source, same-created digest conflict, and different source id conflict.
## Boundaries
This package does not publish files, delete files, inspect storage backends, or choose transfer policy actions. Publish planning consumes these comparison outcomes later.
## Tests
Before changing destination state behavior, inspect tests under `internal/state`.
