Ghost Status

Definition

The status is the state attached to a metadata block or to an anchor.

Supported values

These are the values validated by the Code Action Provider and offered by autocomplete:

todo
in-progress
done
review
blocked
pending

Normalization

The value is normalized automatically:

  • Lowercased.
  • Trimmed (no leading or trailing spaces).
  • Internal spaces become dashes: in progress becomes in-progress.
  • If the value is not one of the supported ones, GhostMap suggests the closest match (by prefix) or defaults to todo.
  • If the key is misspelled (for example statu: or staus:), it offers a fix to status:.
