State and Persistence

State should exist in bijux-canon-index only when it helps defend retrieval execution, replay, and provenance. Persistence that cannot be tied to package ownership is usually hidden coupling rather than architecture.

What To Check

  • name the durable state that matters to this package role
  • separate local working state from caller-visible or cross-package durable state
  • treat unexplained persistence as a structural smell until its ownership is explicit

First Proof Check

  • src/bijux_canon_index and apis for the structural ownership boundary
  • tests for replay and provenance evidence for executable confirmation that the structure still holds

Bottom Line

If bijux-canon-index needs hidden structure to defend retrieval execution, replay, and provenance, the architecture is already too opaque.
