## Workplan Convention (ADR-001)

File location: `workplans/ops-warden-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
ID prefix: `OPS-WP`

Work items originate as files in this repo **before** being registered in the hub.

Canonical workplan/workstream frontmatter statuses are:
`proposed`, `ready`, `active`, `blocked`, `backlog`, `finished`, `archived`.
Use `proposed` for a newly drafted plan, `ready` after review against current
repo state, and `finished` when implementation is complete. `stalled` and
`needs_review` are derived health labels, not stored statuses.

Closed workplans may be moved to `workplans/archived/` with a completion-date
prefix: `YYMMDD-ops-warden-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The frontmatter id remains
unchanged; the prefix is only for quick visual reference.

Small opportunistic tasks discovered during another session use **Ad Hoc Tasks**:
`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md`, workstream slug `adhoc-YYYY-MM-DD`, and task ids
`ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, `T02`, etc. Use adhocs only for low-risk work completed
directly. Promote anything requiring analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or
multiple planned phases into a normal workplan.

Ecosystem todos from other agents arrive as `[repo:ops-warden]` hub tasks —
visible at session start. Pick one up by creating the workplan file, then registering
the workstream.

**Task block format** (one per `##` section in workplan files):

```
## Task Title

```task
id: WARDEN-WP-NNNN-T01
status: wait | todo | progress | done | cancel
priority: high | medium | low
state_hub_task_id: "<uuid>"   # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
```

Task description text.
```

Canonical task statuses (State Hub InfoTechCanon): `wait`, `todo`, `progress`,
`done`, `cancel`. Use `wait` for tasks blocked on external dependencies (not
`blocked` — that alias maps to `wait` during migration). Progression:
`todo` → `progress` → `done`.
