A report goes from draft, to triage, to a final decision. This page gives the rules for each status. The status value is the value in the API. The website shows the display text.

​
Statuses

You can have at most five reports that hold a slot.

​
Transitions

  • You submit a draft, reply to a question, or withdraw a report.
  • The triage agent asks a question, closes a report as rejected or insufficient information, or sends the report to review.
  • The system pauses a report when triage reaches a limit. A technical failure sends the report to review. A limit or a failure is never evidence that your report is not valid.
  • The Kalligator team makes the final decision on a report in review or paused. The team can also open a report again for more triage.
You can withdraw a report from triaging, needs_info, paused, or human_review.

​
What you can do in each status

Only a message in needs_info starts a new triage turn.

​
Decision

After a final decision, the report has a decision with:
  • outcome: accepted, rejected, duplicate, or insufficient_info
  • at: the time of the decision
  • message: an optional message to you
A rejection message tells you why. A duplicate message gives the reason and a date. It does not give the title, the text, or the author of the other report. The triage assessment, the assigned severity, and the reward reason stay internal.

​
Programs that change

If a program becomes hidden, or removes you from its invited hackers, you can still read your reports. You cannot save, submit, or change the files of a draft for that program.
