Status Verification Protocol

A Status Verification Protocol is a verification protocol that confirms operation execution results through standardized status report formats.

• AKA: Execution Status Protocol, Operation Verification Protocol.
• Context:
  • It can typically report binary outcomes using ✓ for success and ✗ for failure.
  • It can typically follow fixed format requirements without additional text.
  • It can typically provide factual confirmation of executed operations.
  • It can typically display multiple status indicators in single status line.
  • It can often aggregate component statuses into overall status report.
  • It can often enforce status format validation through schema checking.
  • It can range from being a Simple Binary Status Protocol to being a Detailed Status Report Protocol, depending on its reporting granularity.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Status Formats, such as:
    • Check Mark Status Format using ✓/✗ symbols.
    • Traffic Light Status Format using red/yellow/green indicators.
  • Status Components, such as:
    • "✓ session logged" for logging confirmation.
    • "✗ push failed" for synchronization failure.
    • "✓ todos cleaned" for task cleanup confirmation.
  • Composite Statuses, such as:
    • "✓ session logged ✓ commits pushed ✓ todos cleaned" for complete success.
    • "✓ session logged ✗ push failed ✓ todos cleaned" for partial failure.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Verbose Status Protocol, which includes detailed explanations.
  • Interactive Status Protocol, which allows user querys.
  • Ambiguous Status Protocol, which lacks clear outcome indicators.
• See: Portable Agent Sign-Off Protocol, Work Persistence Protocol, Binary Outcome Verification, Todo State Management Protocol.
