What has reached somebody, and how you can check.
Most organisations publish a changelog, which records what was merged. Merging is not delivering. A merged commit is not a page a reader can open; a page a reader can open is not a page a machine can find; and a page a machine can find is not a page anything else in this estate points at. Each of those fails separately, and work that failed at one of them looks exactly like work that succeeded.
So this office tracks seven rungs, and draws a line across the middle of them. The first three are declared — somebody says the work is wanted, committed to, and built. The last four are not declarable at all. There is no field, no flag and no function that sets them: shipped is settled by the repository, and published, distributed and linked are settled by fetching a URL and reading what comes back.
Every row below is on this page because something fetched something. The date beside each rung is when it was last checked, and a rung whose evidence goes stale stops counting rather than quietly persisting. If a page here stops resolving, its row falls back down the ladder and the fall is dated in a record that is never rewritten — because the expensive failure in an estate is not shipping late, it is quietly un-shipping, and without that record it looks identical to never having shipped at all.
The format is published and permissively licensed, as this office's formats are. Nothing here works because you trust the author.
No deliverable in this estate currently satisfies the fetch. That is either true or it is a broken checker, and both are worth knowing; it is published at the number it is rather than hidden until it flatters.
Nothing is published here yet. Work below published is private by default, and opening a row is a decision a person takes deliberately rather than a side effect of a build — the same rule this estate applies to every other filing. What is not yet disclosed is not therefore absent: it is on the private board, which carries the column this office most needs to look at, being the one that lists work that was finished and never reached anybody.
A status somebody can type in is a status that will eventually be wrong, and nobody will know when.
