# StateService Clone Implementation Fix

@import[../partials/header.md]

## PREVIOUS ANALYSIS

@import[../detailed/1-method-inventory.md]
@import[../detailed/3-test-patterns.md]

## CODE TO ANALYZE

=== CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION ===

@cmd[cpai ../../../services/StateService/StateService.ts --stdout]

=== FAILING CLONE TESTS ===

@cmd[cpai ../../../tests/services/StateService/StateService.test.ts --stdout]

## YOUR TASK

Provide a precise implementation fix for StateService's clone() method:

1. Document the exact implementation needed:
   ```typescript
   {
     methodSignature: string;
     fields: {
       name: string;
       type: string;
       copyStrategy: "deep" | "shallow" | "reference";
       specialHandling?: string;
     }[];
     transformationHandling: {
       flags: string[];
       preservation: string;
       inheritance: string;
     };
     edgeCases: {
       scenario: string;
       handling: string;
     }[];
   }
   ```

2. Implementation requirements:
   - Must handle all state fields correctly
   - Must preserve transformation state
   - Must handle circular references
   - Must maintain type safety

3. Provide exact TypeScript implementation

BE PRECISE - this implementation will be applied directly.
INCLUDE all necessary type handling.
ENSURE the implementation fixes all identified test failures.
