Recover from offline local state

Seed the recovery cache

1. 1Open a Project while the Project API is available.
2. 2Confirm the Studio save indicator reports REMOTE.
3. 3Make one Proposal-safe change and wait for the remote save.
4. 4The browser now holds a recovery copy under the Project-scoped storage key.

Continue during an API outage

1. 1Block requests matching /api/projects while keeping the application assets available.
2. 2Create or adjust a Proposal Change.
3. 3Confirm the save indicator reports LOCAL.
4. 4Navigate to /projects and confirm the cached Project remains discoverable with its complete snapshot.

Recover deliberately

1. 1Restore the Project endpoint before accepting further shared changes.
2. 2Open the locally recovered Project and export VM JSON as a safety copy.
3. 3Compare its updated time, Plan Version, Proposal, and latest receipt with the remote record.
4. 4Preserve divergent work as a Proposal Branch; do not silently replace accepted remote truth.

Completion criteria

• The local record retains schema version 10 and the exact Project snapshot.
• Remote failure is explicit through the LOCAL status.
• Recovery never changes accepted Plan truth without the ordinary Proposal, Validation, and human Approval path.

Verify the workflow

Run the executable fixture from the repository root. Completion requires a zero exit code.
