# M12-03G Status

status: done
task: block every linked data writer before Main mutation

enablingTask: false
parityStateChange: false

## Scope

The schema-1 linked mutation gate covers object transforms, mesh geometry, mesh material slots,
material properties, material image nodes, and packed image data. Every request must identify a
`SOURCE_LIBRARY` owner with `linkedLibrary=true` and `readOnly=true`. A current linked request is
blocked with `LINKED_DATA_MUTATION_BLOCKED` before any Main writer can run; stale revisions remain
`REVISION_CONFLICT`, and malformed or ownership-substituted requests fail closed.

This task does not claim a linked writer, reload, relocation, missing-library recovery, or full
N-023 Link parity. The desktop linked ownership contract is the M12-03F input to this gate.

## Evidence

- `npm --prefix web run test:library-linked-mutation` passed 3/3 unit tests.
- All six linked writer operations return `BLOCKED` with exactly
  `LINKED_DATA_MUTATION_BLOCKED`, `recoverable=false`, and no Main mutation path. The test also
  verifies the schema round-trip for each operation.
- A stale revision returns `REVISION_CONFLICT`; an unknown field, unsupported operation, or owner /
  read-only substitution returns `TASK_VALIDATION_FAILED` or `LINKED_DATA_MUTATION_BLOCKED` before
  any writer invocation.

## Next Task

`M12-03H`: library reload replaces only the matching linked generation snapshot.

## Rollback

Remove the linked mutation protocol, unit suite, manifest, package command, and this status entry.
Restore M12-03F to pending and move the machine queue back to `M12-03F`. No parity ledger rollback
is required.
