Thought Thread states and run history
Thread states
| State | Meaning | How it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Active and accepting voice notes and context. The default, and what a Thread returns to when you change its notes or context. | Automatic. There is no control for it. |
| Ready | This Thread's current source has been converted. It carries the time of that conversion, which the Thread screen shows as a "Converted ..." badge. | Automatic, when a conversion completes. |
| Archived | Hidden from the active list but still viewable. | Set by Archive on the Thread screen; Unarchive returns it to Open. |
Conversion-run states
| State | Meaning | Available response |
|---|---|---|
| Preparing | Proset is freezing or preparing the source. | Wait or leave and return to Run history. |
| Ready to resume | Background preparation is complete. | Resume the run. |
| Converting | The prepared snapshot is being transformed. | Wait for completion. |
| Completed | A saved conversion is available. | Open the saved conversion. |
| Failed | Preparation or conversion did not finish. | Retry when the UI offers it. |
| Cancelled | The run was stopped. | Start a new run if needed. |
Snapshot and source behavior
Each run retains an immutable ordered source snapshot and run metadata so its result remains reproducible after the Thread changes. Unavailable source recordings are excluded and reported before conversion.
Original recordings and transcripts remain unchanged when they are added, reordered, excluded, or removed from a Thread. Supporting context and retained Thread-only files belong to the Thread.
Deletion behavior
Deleting a Thought Thread removes its Thread-owned records and retained Thread-only source uploads. It does not delete the original source recordings or separately saved conversion outputs.
