# <project name> status

Last updated: <YYYY-MM-DD>

<Scope contract, one short paragraph: this file is current state, active
work, and blockers — readable in under a minute. Architecture lives in the
front door; the per-change narrative is git history, not this file. Present
tense describes what is true today; dated history that no longer describes
today moves to an archive or history directory.>

## Current phase

**<One bolded sentence naming the phase.>** <A few lines of exact state:
what is deployed or delivered, at what revision, and what is being worked
toward next.>

## Active (maximum 8)

- [ ] <A bounded piece of work in progress.>
- [x] <Completed items may remain checked until the phase turns over.>

## Blocked (maximum 5)

- <What is blocked, on whom or what, and since when.>

## <Named gate>

<Define the next promotion gate as a conjunction: "X means all of the
following are observed together at exact pushed revisions: …". Until every
clause holds, the status is the earlier phase, never the later one.>

## Known current unknowns

- <What is deliberately not known right now, so silence is never read as
  coverage.>

## Out of scope

- <What this project is explicitly not doing, so it is not re-litigated.>
