----------------------------------------------------------------------
The state of a replication task represents the running status of the replication task. During the running of `TiCDC`, replication tasks might fail with errors, be manually paused, resumed, or reach the specified `TargetTs`. These behaviors can lead to the change of the replication task state. This section describes the states of `TiCDC` replication tasks and the transfer relationships between states.
