Status Glossary

Every status, label, and gate token used across Foundry, in one place.

Roadmap work status

DRAFT | NEXT | READY | IN_PROGRESS | REVIEW | DONE | BLOCKED (Brownfield survey may also use UNTRACKED before a workflow is adopted).

Status	Meaning
DRAFT	Known but unselected or still coarse
NEXT	The one currently selected work item
READY	Required gates, Plan, and Tasks are ready
IN_PROGRESS	Implementation and verification underway
REVIEW	Implementation complete; review/docs/delivery underway
DONE	The confirmed delivery standard is met
BLOCKED	An explicit blocker exists; reason/owner/unblock recorded
UNTRACKED	No trustworthy work history (Brownfield survey only)

Gate status

PASS | NOT_READY | STALE

• PASS — the gate's checklist fully passed for the recorded inputs.
• NOT_READY — not yet passed.
• STALE — a prior PASS was invalidated by a semantic input change.

Gates: SPEC READY, UI READY (or SKIPPED (N/A) for no-UI), TEST DESIGN READY, DONE. A no-UI skip is a documented decision, not a passed gate.

Fact status

CONFIRMED | RECOMMENDED | UNKNOWN

Evidence labels

OBSERVED | DOCUMENTED | CONFIRMED | INFERRED | NEEDS_CONFIRMATION | CONFLICT | UNKNOWN | MISSING

Baseline result

PASS | FAIL | UNAVAILABLE | SKIPPED

Feature implementation state (Brownfield)

IMPLEMENTED | PARTIAL | BROKEN | UNKNOWN | DEPRECATED

AS-IS Spec status

AS_IS_DRAFT | RECONSTRUCTED — never READY during onboarding.

Open Question status

OPEN | RESOLVED | DEFERRED — a Critical question at OPEN/DEFERRED blocks its gate.

Recommendation-selection metadata

RECOMMENDED | SELECTED — a proposal vs an authority-confirmed choice (not a work status).

Discovery intensity

STANDARD | DEEP — interaction depth only; does not change fact status.

Challenge outcome

RETAINED | REVISED | REJECTED

Delivery handoff

READY FOR PR (PR mode) / READY FOR DELIVERY (no-PR mode) / BLOCKED_HANDOFF (coding-start, zero NEXT).

Language policy

documentation_language = en, engineering_language = en; product_content_language is an actual BCP-47 value, UNKNOWN - <resolution action>, or N/A - no product-content surface.

Stable IDs

AC-* (Acceptance Criterion), TS-* (Test Scenario), OQ-* / UIQ-* / TQ-* (Open Questions), BR-* (Business Rule), Fxxx (Feature).
