rig-lifecycle

Use when reasoning about the rig lifecycle operations family (create / start / stop / resume / restore / snapshot / release / unclaim / destroy), reading or trusting `rig ps` / lifecycle projections after recovery, or designing proof for a lifecycle scenario. Covers the 4 failure modes (auto-restore creates partial rig; projections report healthier than reality; provider auth treated as impl work; resume succeeds for one runtime fails another) plus the restore-honesty rule (failed resume is FAILED loudly — no auto fresh fallback).

# Rig Lifecycle

The family of operations that **create, start, stop, resume, restore,
snapshot, release, unclaim, and destroy** OpenRig-managed topologies.
Includes the user story after reboot: **"bring my work back without
turning a clean recovery into a cleanup project."**

If lifecycle is brittle, every higher-level primitive inherits that
brittleness. Queue, workflow, seat continuity, cross-host operation,
and RSI all assume that rigs and seats can be restored into known
states.
