State

Notation CLI deploy, destroy, plan, and dashboard use Yieldstar stores in .notation/workflows.db. Override the database path with NOTATION_DATABASE_PATH.

Each live resource is a notation/resource-state store scoped by deployment and resource ID. A missing store means the resource is absent.

const state = new DurableStateBackend(storeClient, "infra/api.ts");

The runtime assigns a UUIDv7 instanceId when a store is created and increments its version on update. Conditional workflow updates and deletes compare both values, preventing a stale snapshot from modifying a deleted and recreated resource. The store version is exposed unchanged as StateNode.version.

DurableStateBackend is read-only: state writes happen inside the workflow, through the store handle, so each write is stamped with the step that made it and is not repeated on replay.

The workflow serializes deploy and destroy through one notation/deployment-hold store per deployment.
