Categories

• **active** : refs the worker should process (`candidate`,

`uid_resolved`, `pdf_acquired`, `needs_reacquisition`, `page1_validated`)

• **waiting** : `awaiting_rtfm_ocr` (worker idle, RTFM is OCRing)
• **blocked_human** : `blocked_human:*` (curator decision needed)
• **terminal** : `sota_cited_confirmed`, `retracted` (worker never

touches these)

When to use

• Beginning of session : overview of registry state
• After a batch run : verify state distribution shifted as expected
• Before deciding what to invoke (cascade, doctor, audit-sota)
