 - **TaskStateService** — the **only** component that writes `Status`, `PlanningPhase`, `BlockedByTaskId`, and the `task_dependencies` edges. All transitions return a `TransitionResult` (no exceptions on invalid moves). Wakes the queue and advances the planning chain on child terminal transitions. `SubmitForChildrenAsync` (Running → WaitingForChildren) also chains and immediately queues a normal parent's own Idle/Queued children via `PlanningChainCoordinator.SetupChainAsync(enqueue: true)` — unlike a planning parent (`PlanningPhase != None`), whose children stay untouched here and wait for the user's explicit "Queue plan" (`QueuePlanAsync`); a child already `Running` makes `SetupChainAsync` throw, which is caught and logged rather than failing the parent's own transition. Every transition broadcasts via a private `NotifyAsync(taskId)` — never call `_broadcaster.TaskUpdated` directly from this class, `NotifyAsync` also drives `TicketStatusSync.SyncAsync` (see Tickets below) and a direct call skips that transition's ticket write-back. `SetDependsOnAsync` replaces the task's whole dependency **set** (empty list clears it) and rejects a self-reference, an unknown dependency id, or any link that would create a cycle — a BFS over the whole `task_dependencies` edge set from every proposed predecessor, so a multi-edge loop (A→B→C→A) is caught too, and one bad edge leaves the entire set unwritten.
