Step 1 made placement cheap for a task whose status CHANGES: create_task and update_task return where it sits, and the report is written from that. It did nothing for a task a reply merely cites. This milestone's own step-6 review reported "#4014 is the open step of milestone 409". #4014 had been done for four days; the open step was #4015. The id did not come from a read — it came from a retrieval hint, which carries an id, a kind and a title and says nothing about status, while list_milestones said "8 of 9" and would not say which one. The gap was there to be filled and the nearest-looking id filled it. Two surfaces, one principle: the status arrives with the id. 1. get_project_milestone_summaries gains next_step — the earliest open step, {id, title, status} or None — carried through _BRIEF_FIELDS to enter_project, get_project and list_milestones. One extra flat query for the whole batch, so #2384's fan-out does not come back. OPEN_STEP_STATUSES moves to services/milestones.py and placement.py imports it; both surfaces now answer "what is next" and must not drift on what counts as open. Both step queries take the same readable_notes_clause (rule 78), so a row cannot name a step its own progress numbers exclude. 2. _record_kind renders a task's status: [task (done)], [issue (todo)]. A finished step and an open one read identically before, which is exactly the line the misreport was taken from. Only tasks — is_task IS status-is-not-None on the model, so there is no fallback branch. reporting-back gains the practice, owned and registered in the guidance ownership table: a record you only mention is a record to read. The guards are structural and each fails on the regression it names: the query count is asserted rather than the payload shape, and the two surfaces' agreement is pinned on the rendered ORDER BY, since a mocked session hands back whatever order the test chose.
