📣 Announced
Migration: 'active' is not a valid lifecycle state in lifecycle_config (removed 2026-04-24, 'currently happening' is now derived from effectiveDates, not a stored state). Setting to 'announced' so Monitor's transition() to terminal states (e.g. completed) succeeds instead of falling through to flagForReview.
