# Bug Report: fix-verdict-pass-inference

## Summary
The fix replaces substring search with structured-line parsing, correctly matching the dashboard's approach.

## Bugs Found

### Bug 1: Substring match within status line value
- **Severity**: Low
- **Location**: scripts/status.py:316
- **Description**: `_parse_verdict_status_line()` uses `label in after_colon.upper()` which is a substring match within the status value. A status like `## Status: FAILURE` would match `FAIL` (since `"FAIL" in "FAILURE"` is True). However, this is consistent with the dashboard's `parse_verdict_status()` (task.py:82) which has the same pattern, and verdict status values are always exactly "PASS", "FAIL", or "NEEDS_REVIEW" per the referee prompt template.
- **Suggested Fix**: Use exact match only: `if after_colon.upper() == label`. However, this would diverge from the dashboard's behavior and could break existing verdicts with extra text on the status line.
