Todo State Management Protocol

A Todo State Management Protocol is a task state protocol that manages task status transitions during system termination.

• AKA: Task State Transition Protocol, Todo Status Protocol.
• Context:
  • It can typically convert in-progress tasks to either "completed" or "pending" based on actual completion state.
  • It can typically prevent orphaned tasks after session termination.
  • It can typically maintain task state integrity through atomic updates.
  • It can typically validate completion criteria before state transition.
  • It can often track task history through state change logs.
  • It can often support batch state updates for multiple tasks.
  • It can range from being a Simple Binary State Protocol to being a Complex Multi-State Protocol, depending on its state complexity.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • State Transitions, such as:
    • In-Progress to Completed for finished tasks.
    • In-Progress to Pending for unfinished tasks.
  • State Validations, such as:
    • Completion Criteria Check before marking completed.
    • Dependency Validation for linked tasks.
  • Cleanup Operations, such as:
    • Orphaned Task Recovery for abandoned tasks.
    • Batch State Update for multiple todos.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Stateless Task Protocol, which doesn't track task state.
  • Manual State Protocol, which requires user intervention.
  • Persistent In-Progress Protocol, which maintains in-progress state.
• See: Portable Agent Sign-Off Protocol, Status Verification Protocol, Task Lifecycle Management, Process Termination Protocol.
