docs(intent): reissuing automatically with sourceStatusOnRetire - #211
Merged
Conversation
Superseding a retired target frees the source's slot, but a source flipped by the sourceStatus completion hook can never re-qualify on its own - so an event-only create-from stopped being event-driven after its first document. sourceStatusOnRetire is the hook's inverse: retiring the target returns the source, the ordinary trigger re-fires, and the replacement is minted. Documents the key, the state-based idempotence, the parse-time refusals, the lifecycle edge it needs, and the generated listener - plus the pointer from the existing sourceStatus bullet.

A retirement is delivered at-least-once, so it can arrive again after the replacement already exists - and by then the source is standing at sourceStatus once more, because the reissue put it there. The standing-status test alone would re-open a source with a live target against it. The reopen now runs exactly when a creation would be allowed through.

A create-from triggered only by a button carries no at-most-once guard, so nothing blocks a replacement - the button is itself the reissue, and there is no trigger for a reopen to re-fire. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

sourceStatusOnRetire:key indocs/help/intent/dsl-reference.md, next to Superseding a retired target.Superseding frees the source's slot. Where the rule also declares a
sourceStatus:completion hook, nothing could refill it — and that is the one combination where an event-driven create-from stops being event-driven after its first document: the hook moves the source off the status its own trigger qualifies on, the lifecycle graph declares no edge back, so the source never re-qualifies and no qualifying event is published again.sourceStatusOnRetire:is the hook's inverse, so the reissue is the ordinary path — the retirement returns the source, the trigger re-fires, the guard steps over the retired document, and the replacement is minted.Covers the key, the state-based idempotence (no marker column), that immediacy is the trigger's decision rather than the reopen's, every parse-time refusal, the lifecycle edge it needs, and the generated listener. Also adds the pointer from the existing
sourceStatus:bullet, since that bullet's "composes unchanged" was the sentence that hid the gap.Platform PR: eclipse-dirigible/dirigible#6893. Spec proposal: IntentFile/intent-specification#48.
