Would you please call this something else?

"It automatically reconciles", perhaps? I know that a multi-word phrase isn't nearly as snappy, but not only are "it's started" and "started" overloaded with a bunch of meanings, approximately zero of them mean what you want them to mean in this new context.

Sorry, autocorrect changed stateful to started.
Ye olde autodefect makes fools of us all, eventually.

(As does the ever-present HN urge to downvote things for no comprehensible reason. Seriously, why the fuck would someone downvote an honest explanation for a typo? Animals, I guess.)
