To prevent split-brain state scenarios, you need to audit mutation patterns across extension, webview, and controller components to identify conflicting ownership. Centralizing control in a controller and treating the store as a reactive view establishes sovereign state ownership and eliminates redundant mutations.

Sovereign state ownership is a pattern where a single controller maintains absolute authority over state truth, while other components act as reactive views. It prevents inconsistent state updates by applying segmented sovereignty rules and intent-id latching to ensure high-integrity state management across the application.

You audit redundant state mutations by running phase-based audits that map control heads and state stores across your architecture. This process uncovers conflicting mutations and redundancies, enabling a sovereignty-driven refactoring approach that centralizes control within the controller.

No specific frameworks or external dependencies are required to implement this state management approach. The protocol applies sovereignty guard patterns and intent-id latching directly to your existing extension, webview, and controller architecture to enforce high-integrity state without external libraries.

Application state becomes inconsistent when multiple components mutate the same state without sovereign ownership, creating split-brain scenarios. Identifying state stores and mapping mutation patterns through a controller-driven audit resolves these conflicts by ensuring the store functions only as a reactive view of truth.

You should refactor to a controller-driven approach when phase-based audits uncover redundant state mutations and conflicting ownership across your components. Applying sovereignty-driven refactoring rules centralizes control, treats the store as a reactive view, and enforces clear checks to prevent state inconsistency.
