   value now differs, moving `updated_at` and reordering the list. This is a
   known, accepted limitation for a single-user deployment, not a bug to fix.
 - **`updated_at` drives list order, so it moves only on real reading progress:** the server applies its timestamp when the row is new or `last_chapter_num` changes, and otherwise keeps the stored value — favouriting a series or recording a newly published chapter must not reorder the list. `PUT` therefore returns the row **as stored**, and clients must adopt that response rather than their own payload. See `plans/2026-07-25-bookmark-list-favorites-design.md` §4.
+- **Lifecycle buckets:** `status` on each bookmark is `reading` | `archived` |
+  `finished`, orthogonal to `favorite`. Archived and finished appear only in
+  their own tab — not in All, Updated, Favourites, or the recent strip. The
+  poller keeps checking archived series and skips finished ones. `finished` is
+  settable only from the web UI; `PUT /bookmarks/{key}` rejects it with 400.
+  **An empty incoming status means "keep the stored one"** — resolved on the
+  `VALUES` side of `Store.Upsert`, not in the conflict clause, because
+  `excluded.*` is the post-evaluation row and a default applied there would
+  wipe the bucket on every PUT from a client that predates the column. See
+  `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-27-status-buckets-design.md`.

 5. **SPA navigation** — Asura is Astro, client-routed on the comic/chapter pages: patch `history.pushState`/`replaceState` + listen `popstate`, re-run `detect()` on URL change so auto-update fires without reload. Demonic uses classic reloads (initial `document-idle` run suffices).
