Quality Assessment

• Test coverage: 9 new tests, all passing. Full suite 433 passed (was 424). No regressions.
• Code quality: Minimal change (15 lines added to status.py). Cleanly separates complete path from regular transition path.
• Race condition fix: Rename before state write ensures no stale directory creation on concurrent completion.
• Security: Adversarial review found no exploitable vulnerabilities.
