This archive tracks four layers. A record present in 3 of them (AoI, M41, IND) is silent in the rest, and says so.
The Horus HeresyM30–M31
[RECORD LOST]
No record for this location in The Horus Heresy.
Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
contested
Civil war; the world burns itself
In 433.M40 the High Autocrat renounced the Emperor and Krieg tore itself apart. The loyalist faction answered by detonating the planet's own atomics — a five-hundred-year war fought on ground its defenders had already killed. For all but the last stretch of this era it is still the hive world it had always been.

wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Krieg infobox Class = 'Death World, former Hive World'. Both halves are eras of this record. The baseline is now `dead` — the grey, crater-pocked, ash-covered ruin the atomics left, which is what m41 and indomitus are — and the former-hive-world half is carried as an explicit class on the aoi entry. Note the swap away from `death`: 'Death World' is a lethality grading, not a description of a surface, and this palette set's `death` is virulent bile-green, which is a jungle-toxin colour and not a radiological one. `dead` costs the atmosphere shell, which Krieg does have; it buys the grey and the craters, which are the whole of what Krieg looks like. That trade is deliberate

wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Krieg 'in 433.M40, the High Autocrat declared himself independent from the Imperium'. This era layer runs M32–M40, so the atomics fall at the very END of it and Krieg is an intact hive world for something like eight millennia of the nine this entry covers. The explicit class renders that, and the status carries the burning. The status route could not have done it: STATUS_CLASS answers only `dead` or `daemon`, and this is a change INTO the baseline rather than away from it
