A.19.SPR:4.3 - Keeping a technical state field

A technical field such as ...Status, ...Readiness, or ...State may stay when the text makes three things clear: what item the field describes, which values it can take, and which rule or criterion gives those values meaning.

Add an allowed-use boundary only when the field changes a receiving action. Add a blocked inference only when a likely misreading would be harmful. Add a validity window or recheck condition only when the value can change during the intended use. Machine-readable identifiers belong only to automation, audit, comparison, or replay that consumes them.

If the three basic facts are missing, complete them or replace the field with the ordinary sentence the reader actually needs. A narrowing adjective alone does not recover the claim.
