Issue stages
The issue stage records where the overall deliverable sits:
The normal board omits the transient shipping stage. Experimental shipping behavior should not define a baseline workflow.
Common session states
The session state records what one harness process needs now:Close reasons
podium issue close accepts done, cancelled, duplicate, or superseded. Use the reason that explains why no work remains.
Dependency meanings
Podium defines behavior forblocks, related, parent-child, discovered-from, tracks, supersedes, caused-by, and validates. The dependency store accepts other nonempty type names, but custom types have no documented workflow behavior. Use blocks only when the dependent issue cannot finish first. Manage parent-child through issue creation or podium issue reparent; podium issue dep-add rejects that type.
