# How mdquire labels development status

Complete, in development, planned and to verify have different meanings across the site.

Published: 2026-11-13

The Development page distinguishes completed work from the milestone currently being implemented and later plans. The labels are tied to evidence rather than a release forecast.

## The four labels

Complete means the stated gate has passed on the named platforms. In development identifies current work, not a finished feature set. Planned describes later scope without an availability promise. To verify keeps a platform or capability unavailable until its check passes.

## One status source

The milestone table, platform matrix, home-page summary and product JSON read the same status file. The artifact list is empty. A download action will appear only when a real file has a version, operating system, architecture, checksum, signing status and known limits.
