What problem does it solve?
Vault item statuses often drift and routing becomes inconsistent. vault-update ensures consistent governance by updating statuses and moving items to the correct folders according to the controller contract.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Normalize statuses across the lifecycle (open, claimed, in-progress, blocked, done, wont-do) and map legacy values (active->in-progress, closed->done, completed->done).
- Apply status transitions and trigger the appropriate vault-index coordination tool to keep state and location in sync.
- Move items between folders (01-Bugs/02-Tasks/03-Ideas/00-Inbox for open items; 04-In-Progress/05-Archive as they progress) to reflect current status.
- Use to enforce governance before enterprise-verify/enterprise-compound, and to align with the Obsidian-first controller contract.
Quick Start
Update a vault item's status by selecting the item and applying the appropriate transition (e.g., open -> in-progress, in-progress -> done) and then reindex.
