fsm_transition
Advance a named finite state machine to a new state and log the transition on the blackboard. Provide fsm_id, new_state, and agent_id; returns success or error.
Instructions
Advance a named FSM (Finite State Machine) to a new state and record the transition on the blackboard. Transitions are irreversible via this tool — new_state is written directly without validating against a predefined state graph, so the caller must ensure the transition is valid. Returns {ok:true, fsmId, transition:{from, to}, blackboardWritten:true} on success. Returns {ok:false, error:"..."} if fsm_id, new_state, or agent_id is missing, or if metadata_json is not valid JSON. Avoid concurrent transitions to the same FSM from multiple agents; call orchestrator_info first to read the current FSM state before transitioning.
