docs(M1.3.1): Add state machine design document (all 6 sections approved) (#208)

- SECTION 1: States & Transitions (10 core states, valid transitions)
- SECTION 2: Guard Conditions & Data Flow (health thresholds, hybrid execution)
- SECTION 3: Async Execution & Message Bus (Zenoh, callbacks, priority queue)
- SECTION 4: Error Recovery & Resilience (retry, circuit breaker, fallbacks)
- SECTION 5: Pandora Integration & Persistence (Neo4j schema, queries, heat-maps)
- SECTION 6: Testing Strategy (40+ unit, 15+ integration, 5 acceptance tests)

+# M1.3.1 Mimi State Machine Design Document
+
+**Issue**: #207  
+**Branch**: `feature/M1.3.1-mimi-state-machine`  
+**Date**: 2026-04-17  
+**Status**: DESIGN COMPLETE ✓
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+M1.3.1 defines the **Mimi State Machine** — the orchestrator core lifecycle management component that governs the entire Mimi system lifecycle from receiving user instructions through routing, memory access, task execution, and graceful shutdown.
+
+The state machine implements a **10-state finite state machine** with explicit guard conditions, async/blocking execution modes, hybrid error recovery, and deep integration with Pandora (Neo4j) for memory tracking and observability.
+

+
+## SECTIONS 1-6: DESIGN COMPLETE ✓
+
+### SECTION 1: States & Transitions ✓
+- 10 core states: IDLE, LISTENING, PROCESSING, EXECUTING, RESPONDING, DEGRADED, RECOVERING, FAILED_COMPONENT, CRITICAL_ERROR, SHUTDOWN
+- Valid state transitions with guard conditions
+- Auto-escalation rules for errors and failures
+
+### SECTION 2: Guard Conditions & Data Flow ✓
+- Component health thresholds (latency >5s, memory >80%, heartbeat >30s)
+- Hybrid execution model (blocking for simple, async with callbacks for complex)
+- Task queue structure with priority and capacity limits
+
+### SECTION 3: Async Execution & Message Bus Integration ✓
+- Zenoh topic hierarchy (control, tasks, memory, errors)
+- Task lifecycle (queue → dispatch → execute → callback → complete)
+- Non-blocking subscription pattern with tokio::select!
+- Priority queueing and backpressure handling
+
+### SECTION 4: Error Recovery & Resilience Patterns ✓
+- Exponential backoff retry strategy (100ms → 5s with jitter)
+- Circuit breaker pattern (Closed → Open → HalfOpen)
+- Cascade fallback strategies (Retry → Failover → Defer → Cache → Fail)
+- Component health monitoring and auto-escalation
+
+### SECTION 5: Pandora Integration & State Persistence ✓
+- Selective persistence (high-value transitions only)
+- Neo4j graph schema (StateChange, Task, Component, Error nodes)
+- Pandora query patterns and heat-map generation
+- Root cause analysis via error tracking
+
+### SECTION 6: Testing Strategy & Verification ✓
+- 40+ unit tests (states, guards, tasks)
+- 15+ integration tests (bus, Pandora, components)
+- 5 acceptance tests (workflows, recovery, failures)
+- 95%+ code coverage goal
+
+---
+
+## Approval Status
+
+✅ **ALL 6 SECTIONS APPROVED BY USER**
+
+**Design is COMPLETE and READY for Implementation.**
+
+Next steps:
+1. Create implementation plan
+2. Push branch and open PR
+3. Begin M1.3.2 implementation
