Local

Local artifacts are the default. Select them explicitly with:

{
  "artifacts": {
    "provider": "local"
  }
}

Omitting artifacts.provider has the same effect.

Storage layout

Build and project-backed Fix allocate one run directory:

.woostack/tmp/runs/<run-id>/
├── manifest.json
├── project-spec.md
└── execution-plan.md

The run directory uses owner-only 0700 permissions. Run files use owner-only 0600 permissions. Manifest updates use compare-and-swap and atomic replacement.

Authority

The local run is the canonical development-artifact record for Build and project-backed Fix. Git, Graphite, and GitHub remain authoritative for source, branches, commits, pull requests, reviews, and merge state. Artifacts record work; they do not authorize it.

Remote mirroring does not transfer authority away from the local run. A mirror failure is recorded in manifest.json and does not invalidate complete local artifacts.

Provider behavior

With artifacts.provider omitted or set to "local":

• Build and project-backed Fix make no artifact-provider reads or writes.
• Standalone Plan without requested persistence makes no provider call.
• woostack-change never contacts an artifact provider.
• --project fails before provider access because project selection requires remote mirroring.

Automatic read-only Linear discovery during woostack-init (or GitHub discovery when artifacts.provider: "github") is a setup operation. It does not select remote storage or authorize later provider access.

Retention and recovery

Completed and explicitly abandoned runs are retained. Explicit abandonment records status: "abandoned" in the manifest and does not mutate a mirrored provider project.

A nonterminal run resumes by exact run ID:

/woostack-execute --run <exact-run-id> [--recheck]

Titles, recent history, branch names, and search ranking are not run selectors. Legacy tracked records remain unchanged unless the user explicitly invokes the guarded woostack-init migration route.
