What states can a task be in?
Tasks move through visible states: Todo (waiting to start), In progress (actively being worked on), Done (finished with a deliverable attached), Failed (couldn't complete — the thread explains why), Blocked (needs your input to continue), Cancelled (you stopped it), and Archived (completed and collapsed from the main view).
What's the difference between Failed and Blocked?
Failed means something went wrong. Blocked means the team is waiting for a decision from you. The task thread shows the question.
Do tasks retry automatically?
No. You decide whether to retry, redirect, or drop it. Replying inside the task thread is the simplest way to redirect.
