- Write intercept: block edit + bash tools (not just write), case-insensitive
  patterns for macOS, resolve ".." path segments, use BLOCKED_WRITE_ERROR constant
- TOCTOU: move all guard reads inside transaction callbacks across all 5 handlers
  (complete-task, complete-slice, complete-milestone, reopen-task, reopen-slice)
- Wrap reopen-task in a transaction (was bare updateTaskStatus call)
- Fix "done" vs "complete" status inconsistency: complete-slice task filter,
  projection SUMMARY rendering, and regenerateIfMissing all accept both statuses
- Workflow reconcile: sync-lock for concurrent access, stable timestamp sort,
  write event log before DB replay, wrap replayEvents in transaction, include ts
  in event hash, add session_id to parsed conflict events, replay non-conflicting
  events after last conflict resolution
- Manifest: wrap snapshotState queries in deferred transaction for consistent
  snapshot, validate manifest structure on read
- Projections: fix regenerateIfMissing SUMMARY to check individual files not just
  directory, return false for async STATE regeneration, use logWarning consistently
- Logger: hasWarnings() checks for actual warnings (not just buffer.length > 0),
  stderr output on audit write failures
