Looking at the current documentation (Mender 2.0), the page on Standalone Deployments ([https://docs.mender.io/2.0/architecture/standalone-deployments](https://docs.mender.io/2.0/architecture/standalone-deployments)) says:

> Note that state scripts are a feature of managed mode. State scripts are not executed when running Mender in standalone mode.

However, the page on state scripts has a section on standalone mode ([https://docs.mender.io/2.0/artifacts/state-scripts#standalone-mode](https://docs.mender.io/2.0/artifacts/state-scripts#standalone-mode)) which suggests that a subset of the state scripts are executed.

I think this needs some clarification so I can be sure if state scripts do or don’t execute in standalone mode.
