 - [ ] 1. Foundation: Schema changes and state tracking fields
-- [ ] 1.1 Add `stateReport` group to `RequestReply.data` union in controller.capnp
+- [x] 1.1 Add `stateReport` group to `RequestReply.data` union in controller.capnp
   - Add `appliedLsn :UInt64 @15` and `configTag :UInt64 @16` fields inside a `stateReport :group` variant
   - Regenerate capnp bindings; verify compilation succeeds
   - Existing decode paths and opcode dispatch unaffected
