Review Comment:
   The new state-machine reads cleanly, but the rule that fresh-add builders 
stay `ADDED` through `dvUpdated()` is implicit — a reader has to notice that 
this method only flips `EXISTING`, then trace back to the no-source constructor 
to see that `ADDED` is the starting state. A one-line javadoc captures the 
intent in one place.
   
   ```suggestion
     /**
      * Promotes an EXISTING entry to MODIFIED on mutation. Fresh-add builders 
(status = ADDED) are
      * preserved — covers the same-commit append + DV attach case without a 
special branch.
      */
     private void promoteToModified() {
       if (status == EntryStatus.EXISTING) {
         this.status = EntryStatus.MODIFIED;
         this.snapshotId = newSnapshotId;
       }
     }
   ```
