Renders the spec change proposed in IntentFile/intent-specification#16.

  • /spec/entities gains ## lifecycle — the legal status graph: the gap (statuses are stated one edge at a time, so nothing says which moves are legal at all), the shape, and the two normative rules - every status write is validated against the graph (which puts enforcement in the layer every writer passes through, not in the transition endpoints), and transitions become presentation over its edges.
  • /spec/glue - the transitions section points at it.
  • /spec/data - a lifecycle edge joins the list of sites where a status may be named rather than numbered.
  • /reference - a DSL-index row, and "a declarative state machine" leaves the Planned list.

vitepress build is clean (no dead links).

Implemented in Eclipse Dirigible - eclipse-dirigible/dirigible#6714 (PR eclipse-dirigible/dirigible#6733).

Renders the spec change (IntentFile/intent-specification#16): the new
entities-chapter section, the transitions cross-reference, the status-by-name
site list, the reference index row, and the Planned list losing "a declarative
state machine".
