+# Absturz-Drill (W3-03c, Matrixzeile 21)
+
+Du prüfst, ob ProjectA nach einem harten Abbruch nichts Unklares zurücklässt:
+Der unterbrochene Lauf muss auf „reconciling" (wird abgeglichen) stehen, und es
+darf kein neuer Lauf für dieselbe Aufgabe starten, bevor Prozess und Datenbank
+übereinstimmen. Deine Datenbank wird nur über eine Kopie **gelesen**. Das
+Beenden des Prozesses ist der vereinbarte Ersatz für einen Stromausfall.
+Dauer: etwa 10 Minuten je Übergang.
+
+Voraussetzung: installiertes ProjectA, PowerShell 7, Node 24, dieses Repository.
+Die Übergänge „beansprucht", „Absicht notiert", „Prüfpunkt" und „Abschluss"
+gibt es nur bei Development-Läufen (Continuous AN, bis M4 gesperrt). Ohne
+Continuous findet der Drill keinen offenen Lauf und meldet `FEHLER`: das ist
+dann kein Bestanden, sondern „nicht abgedeckt".
+
+1. **Version notieren** (ProjectA, „Info"); du gibst sie als `-AppVersion` an.
+2. **Übergang erreichen.** Starte die Arbeit und warte auf den Moment: zum
+   Beispiel „Prozess startet" oder „Eingabe wird übergeben". Du hast nur wenige
+   Sekunden.
+3. **Prozess hart beenden.** Task-Manager, `projecta` wählen, „Task beenden"
+   (bei mehreren Einträgen alle). Nicht über das Menü schließen.
+4. **Zustand sichern.** In PowerShell 7 im Repository-Ordner, ProjectA noch
+   geschlossen:
+   `pwsh scripts/drills/crash-drill.ps1 -Phase before -Transition process-starting -AppVersion 1.4.1 -OutDir C:\Belege\crash-vorher`
+   Erlaubt für `-Transition`: claimed, intent, process-starting, input-delivery,
+   checkpoint, completion. Erwartet: eine Zeile `OK`, `Ergebnis: pass`.
+5. **ProjectA neu starten** und etwa 2 Minuten warten, bis die App ruhig ist.
+   Niemanden einen neuen Lauf starten lassen.
+6. **Prüfen.**
+   `pwsh scripts/drills/crash-drill.ps1 -Phase after -BeforeDir C:\Belege\crash-vorher -AppVersion 1.4.1 -OutDir C:\Belege\crash-nachher`
+   Erwartet: zwei Zeilen `OK` und `Ergebnis: pass`. Bei `FEHLER` beide Ordner
+   behalten und melden.
+7. **Beleg:** `crash-nachher` enthält `manifest.json`, Zustand vorher/nachher
+   und Prozessliste, alles geschwärzt. Wiederhole 2–6 für jeden Übergang in
+   einem neuen, leeren Ordner.
+
+Nicht abgedeckt: echter Stromausfall, Übergänge ohne Continuous, Zeitverlauf
+der Wiederherstellung (nur ein Schnappschuss).
