The LANE/STATE triage (#3154) found that **two of the eight** Drizzle
`archived` sites are STATE markers that must never be resolved. That
classification lived only in `archived-column-gate-parity.test.ts`.
A coordinated three-encoding conversion **edits these files**. A
converter working file-by-file sees the same `eq(column, "archived")`
shape as the six LANE sites, with nothing in front of them to tell the
two apart.
So the markers go at the sites.
## `task-mutation-ops.ts` — `cleanupArchivedTasksImpl`
Enumerates rows Fusion itself archived, then **removes their
directories**.
Widening it to the resolved archived-lane set would feed cards **merely
resting in a board's archived-trait lane** into a filesystem delete.
This is the only site in this family where a wrong conversion **destroys
work** rather than hiding an affordance.
## `async-self-healing.ts` — `listSoftDeletedColumnDriftCandidates`
Finds soft-deleted rows whose column **drifted** from the marker they
are supposed to carry. Resolving it would classify a soft-deleted row in
a renamed archive lane as drift and "repair" a row that is already
correct.
## Why this is defensive rather than cosmetic
The triage exists to make the conversion safe. A classification the
converter **cannot see while editing the file** does not do that — it
only helps someone who happens to read the gate's test file first, which
is not how a file-by-file sweep proceeds.
Both are marked DELIBERATE-LITERAL with the reason and a pointer to the
parity test holding the full eight-site split.
## Measured
- Comment-only.
- Parity test **2/2**; archive + soft-delete suites — **5 files / 15
tests pass**.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/core` clean; census `--strict` and
`check-sql-column-literals` clean.
- **No census movement** — a DELIBERATE-LITERAL marker on a STATE site
is a classification, and these were never counted as lane debt.
