SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeps task statuses in sync between the wiki and an external backend by applying coordinated updates and reducing manual duplication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates the current and target statuses, maps them to backend states, and previews changes before applying.
  • Performs updates to both the wiki page frontmatter and the backend when possible, with a separate wiki-only path for cases where no backend transition is available.
  • Maintains an audit trail of transitions, including previous and new statuses, and the rationale for wiki-only operations.

Quick Start

Describe a task page path and the desired target status to perform a synchronized wiki-backend transition.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync task status between a wiki page and an external backend?

To sync task status between a wiki and backend, you provide the task page path and desired target status. The tool validates current states, maps them to backend states, previews changes, and applies coordinated updates to both systems while maintaining an audit trail.

What happens to my wiki status update if the external backend is unavailable?

When the external backend is unavailable, the system supports a wiki-only update path. It performs the status transition locally on the wiki page frontmatter and records the rationale for the wiki-only operation in the audit log.

Can I preview task status transitions before applying them to my backend?

Yes, you can preview task status transitions before applying them. The system validates the current and target statuses, maps them to the corresponding backend states, and generates a clear transition plan for review before executing any updates.

How do workspace-specific status mappings work when transitioning tasks?

Workspace-specific mappings allow the system to translate canonical wiki statuses into the corresponding states required by different external backends. This ensures that status transitions are accurately applied according to the specific configuration of each workspace.

Does the transition tool maintain an audit trail of status changes?

Yes, the transition tool maintains an audit trail of all status changes. The audit logs record the previous status, the new status, and the specific rationale for any wiki-only operations, ensuring full traceability of task transitions.
