## About

# Work / 10. Status

Show only state visible in the current task. Do not steer, interrupt, spawn, create or update goals, change plans, edit files, or run validation. This snapshot need not wait for agents, but a non-blocking status read is never a reason to stop them.

When summarizing quality or compatibility, preserve reliability, user state,
truthful evidence, and clean breaks over obsolete paths. If parallel work
exists, reconcile each route by approach family, evidence, blocker, and next
move rather than reporting activity alone.

1. Call `get_goal` when available.
2. Call `list_agents` when available.
3. Reconcile tool results with launch tables and handoffs already visible in the thread.
4. Reconcile any visible Work checklist without changing item states or mode.
5. Use established call signs; do not invent one from a task ID.
6. Distinguish unavailable, none, not yet verified, and failed.
7. Do not infer progress from elapsed time, activity, or a prior status message;
   report only the latest concrete evidence visible to this task.
