State.template

<!--
state.template.md — Chapter 7 / Appendix A5. The run's file-based memory, so any
seat can resume from it after a stop, an inspection, or a fresh executor picking
it up cold. This is Chapter 6's rule — only what lives in a file counts — applied
to a run in motion. When the transcript compacts or you /clear, this file is the
memory that survives.
