Documentation Review: task-status-reason

Summary

No DESIGN.md. Conducting ad-hoc review of code documentation for the status_reason feature.

Documentation Completeness

  • Code documentation: Adequate — status_reason property has a docstring. parse_verdict_status was already documented. No DESIGN.md or deployment docs produced (proportional to the small change set).
  • User documentation: Not updated — the dashboard README (automaton/dashboard/README.md) doesn't mention the status reason display. The new status_reason field in the API response is also undocumented.
  • API documentation: No formal API docs exist for the dashboard endpoints.

Issues Found

Issue 1: Dashboard README not updated for status reason display

  • Severity: Low
  • Description: The dashboard README at automaton/dashboard/README.md doesn't document that the detail panel now shows a status reason. This is a user-facing UI change without documentation.
  • Suggested Fix: Add a note to the README under "Detail Panel" section describing the status reason.

Issue 2: CHANGELOG entry missing bug fixes

  • Severity: Low
  • Description: The CHANGELOG correctly lists the status_reason feature and revoke buttons, but doesn't mention the REFEREE state fix (a consequence of Bug 2 fix from BUG_REPORT.md).
  • Suggested Fix: Add a Fixed entry for the REFEREE state being unreachable.
