JSONL state	Operational records written under DATA_DIR.

JSONL state

Patch uses append-only JSONL files for durable service records. These files are operational state. They are not the patch stack.

File	Contents
feed-state.json	Per-source last seen entry and last checked timestamp.
feed-events.jsonl	Normalized FeedSignal records.
flow-events.jsonl	Generic FlowEvent records emitted by flow targets.
flow-dispatches.jsonl	Dispatch, retry, replay, and failure records.

Admin endpoints read flow-events.jsonl and flow-dispatches.jsonl. The feed poller appends to all relevant files as it accepts new feed entries.

If a runner checkout is lost, patch.moi should be able to recreate the maintenance context from remote Git refs and forge records. JSONL state explains feed and dispatch history; Git and the forge remain the source of truth for patch contents and review state.
