# State Internals
This document describes filesystem state in `internal/state`.
## Purpose
`internal/state` owns managed workspace paths, atomic JSON writes, persisted
metadata, prior snapshot lookup, and read-only artifact inspection helpers.
## Inputs And Outputs
Inputs:
- workspace configuration
- resolved report definition and valid period
- briefing package
- prompt input data package
- preflight artifact
- rendered report path preparation request
- RunID for inspection lookups
Outputs:
- briefing snapshot JSON path
- prompt input data package JSON path
- render preflight JSON path
- managed Markdown report path
- metadata JSON path
- prior comparable snapshot metadata
- loaded briefing or data package
- recent report records for inspection
## Boundaries
`internal/state` owns local filesystem layout, path validation, durable writes,
metadata reads, prior lookup, and report listing. It does not fetch weather
data, derive forecasts, build prompt input content, compare briefing contents,
invoke Scriptorium, import adapter result types, or parse CLI flags.
Preflight persistence uses the state-owned `PreflightArtifact` shape. The app
converts adapter render results into that shape before saving.
## Config Fields Used
- `workspace.root`
- `workspace.snapshots_dir`
- `workspace.reports_dir`
- `workspace.data_packages_dir`
- `workspace.preflight_dir`
- `workspace.notifications_dir`
Workspace subdirectories must be relative paths that stay under
`workspace.root`.
## Managed Layout
Paths are derived from the resolved report definition's artifact group, the
valid-period start date for JSON artifacts, and the RunID.
```text
<workspace.root>/
snapshots/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.briefing.json
snapshots/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.metadata.json
data-packages/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.data_package.json
preflight/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.render.json
notifications/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.distributor.json
reports/<artifact_group>/<run_id>.md
```
Metadata is stored beside briefing snapshots and links the briefing, data
package, preflight, report paths, notification path when attempted, and
configured prompt location. Report listing walks metadata files under the
snapshots directory.
## Prior Lookup
Prior snapshot lookup reads stored metadata through the shared lookup path and
selects the latest earlier snapshot whose report ID is compatible with the
current report definition.
- Daily Today and Daily Tomorrow are compatible with each other for the same
valid local date.
- 3-Day Outlook compares with prior 3-Day snapshots for the same valid local
date.
- Weekend Outlook compares with prior Weekend snapshots for the same weekend
window.
- Storm Report currently has no prior lookup because explicit event-window
comparison is not searched by the filesystem store.
## Writes And Inspection
Durable JSON writes use shared atomic file helpers. Managed Markdown reports are
prepared by creating their parent directory; Scriptorium writes the report body
to the prepared path. Extra Markdown copies are handled by app orchestration.
Distributor notification debug artifacts are written atomically when
notification is attempted.
Inspection helpers read existing metadata, briefing, and data package files.
Missing metadata directories return no inspection records or no prior snapshot
rather than creating state.
## Failure Behavior
- Invalid workspace paths return validation errors.
- Missing required metadata fields prevent metadata writes.
- JSON writes use a temporary file followed by rename where practical.
- Read and decode failures include path context.
- Unknown RunIDs produce an actionable lookup error.
## Tests
Inspect:
- `internal/state/filesystem_test.go`
- `internal/app/app_test.go`
## Invariants
- Managed paths stay under the configured workspace root.
- Artifact grouping comes from report definitions.
- Metadata links artifacts produced for a run.
- Prior lookup is based on structured metadata, not rendered report text.
