Deepwork Reconcile

Rebuild the active session's state.json from its event log (events.jsonl) using a full hash-chain replay.

When to invoke:

• frontmatter-gate emits EVENT_HEAD_MISMATCH or STATE_DIVERGENCE
• state.json is suspected corrupt or has been manually edited
• After a crash that may have left state.json and events.jsonl out of sync
• Any time you want to verify event log integrity without modifying state

Steps

1. Locate the active instance state file:

Glob: ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-$(pwd -P)}/.claude/deepwork/*/state.json

If no file is found, report "No active deepwork session" and stop.

2. Run the replay:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/state-transition.sh" replay \
  --state-file "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-$(pwd -P)}/.claude/deepwork/<instance-id>/state.json"

The replay subcommand:

• Reads events.jsonl from the same directory as state.json
• Verifies the hash chain from GENESIS through every event
• Reduces all events into a new state snapshot
• Atomically overwrites state.json with the reduced state
• Recomputes state_integrity_hash and event_head
• Prints a reconciliation report to stdout

3. Display the reconciliation report verbatim. It includes:

   • Number of events processed
   • Final event_head hash

4. If the command exits non-zero:

   • Exit code 1: events.jsonl missing or unreadable, invalid JSON at a specific line, or hash chain break — report the error message from stderr; state.json was not overwritten

On a clean reconciliation, report: "Reconcile complete — state.json rebuilt from N events, hash chain valid."
