In the StateM transition protocol, state changes are executed using a strict six-step sequence invoked via the ___ operation.

Order the steps of the StateM transition protocol from first to last.

Identify the state in which execution remains, describe what the StateM runtime does with the failure information, and explain why DataValidation is not committed.

If any pre-commit check or hook fails during the StateM protocol, execution remains in the ___ state.

Explain why the transition event is not appended to the persistent execution history and why the Production state entry is not created.

What two actions are performed during the final step (Target Entry) of the StateM transition protocol?

Checked and Recoverable Transition Semantics

Explain how StateM's transition protocol validates a state transition prior to committing. In your response, outline the four pre-commit steps (steps 1 through 4) and describe what happens to the system state and execution history if any of these pre-commit checks or hooks fail.

Which step in the StateM transition protocol evaluates edge guards and edge-specific transfer hooks?

In StateM, execution remains in the source state and records the failure if any required pre-commit check or hook fails.

Match each StateM transition protocol step to its defined operation.
