Status

Status represents the operational condition or progress of an action.

Unlike state, which is binary, status provides richer workflow semantics.

Core Statuses

Status	Description
`CREATED`	The action exists but work has not meaningfully started
`WORKING`	Active work is currently occurring
`WAITING`	The action is blocked pending an external dependency
`STUCK`	Work cannot proceed because of a blocking issue
`STALL`	The action is inactive even though no explicit blocker exists
`PAUSE`	Work has intentionally been paused
`CANCEL`	The action has been terminated and will not continue
`PARTLY_DONE`	Some required work has been completed
`DONE`	All required work has been completed successfully
`UNENDING`	The action is expected to continue indefinitely
`OTHER`	Status information exists but does not map to PMU semantics
`MIXED`	Multiple conflicting statuses exist simultaneously

WAITING indicates that progress depends on something external.

Examples:

The task is not inherently broken — it is simply dependent on something else.

STUCK indicates that work cannot proceed because of an issue or obstacle.

Examples:

This status usually indicates operational risk.

STALL indicates inactivity without an explicit blocker.

This often represents:

This distinction is important because stalled work often requires management attention even though no explicit issue exists.

PAUSE indicates intentional suspension of work.

Examples:

Unlike STALL, a paused task is intentionally inactive.

UNENDING represents work that never truly completes.

Examples:

This status is especially important for operational reporting because not all valuable work naturally terminates.
