In `@specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md`:
- Line 7: Update the introductory statement in status-matrix.md to clarify that
the matrix combines verified backend behavior with proposed target mappings and
unresolved open decisions, rather than claiming every mapping is verified.
Preserve the existing references to implementation and review usage.
- Around line 27-29: Update the terminology throughout the status-matrix
document, including the referenced sections, replacing descriptive
“approval-list” and “approval lists” text with “Approved List” and “Approved
Lists”; preserve backend identifiers and code symbols unchanged.
- Line 43: Update the Approved List removal path that calls
InvalidateProjectRecord to persist an invalidation date alongside
signature_approved and note, ensuring removed records render a dated invalidated
pill; if that path cannot record a date, revise the status-matrix expectation to
explicitly document undated records.
- Line 29: Update the approval-list coverage entry and its decision table to
document the GitLab exception: when GitlabOrgApprovalList is non-empty and
EvaluateUserApproval returns false, set covered=true and unevaluable=true;
derive Valid from signature_approved and report status as unknown rather than E3
needs_attention.
- Line 18: Update the Revoked lifecycle documentation to store sanctioned_date
and sanctioned_origin on the company rather than the signature, with
UpdateCompanySanctionStatus stamping each sanctioned write and
ClearCompanySanctionStatusIfSSS clearing only SSS sanctions while retaining the
date; keep manual blocks active. Document Approved List removal on the signature
via signature_approved and note, and describe the My CLAs mapper’s
non-sanctioned unapproved rows as Invalidated rather than Needs attention.
Explicitly define whether Revoked is live only while the company remains flagged
or permanent after its first sanction episode, matching the implementation.

Four pills (Valid / Needs attention / Invalidated / Revoked) mapped from signature_signed, signature_approved, company sanction status, and live approval-list coverage, grounded in verified backend behavior with file:line references. Open decisions marked, including the ECLA approved=false state (manager removal) and the revoked wire token missing from lfx-self-serve#1423. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Lehotsky <mlehotsky@linuxfoundation.org>
Both halves shipped since the first draft: the backend status/reason fields on dev and the frontend rendering in lfx-self-serve#1440. Rewritten as a conformance reference against assignMyClaStatus and the shipped ClaStatus type, adding the reserved superseded state and the unevaluable-vs-completed coverage distinction. Records the 2026-08-24 decision that signature_approved=false means Invalidated, and flags E6 (invalidated at a sanctioned employer) as the one case where shipped precedence puts Revoked first. All ticket and PR references are now links. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Lehotsky <mlehotsky@linuxfoundation.org>
Splits the single unknown bucket: a confirmed-absent CCLA becomes needs_attention/no_active_ccla with its own note and explicitly no Request approval action, leaving unknown to mean only 'could not check'. Records that the split point is claData.coverage, which today returns the same unevaluable for a missing CCLA and an unreadable one, so the prefetch must record why the CCLA is absent. Decided 2026-08-24; not yet built, marked as a follow-up rather than an M2 blocker.

- This overstates Approved List invalidation behavior. GitLab username/group removals invoke
invalidateSignatures, butverifyUserApprovalshas no GitLab criterion branch, so those removals do not flip either ICLA or ECLA records. Qualify the supported criteria here and in the repeated claims below so implementers do not assume every removal producesapproved=false.
| `signature_approved` | signature | `true` at signing; flipped `false` by PCC admin ICLA invalidation, CLA-manager approval-list removal (**both ICLAs and ECLAs** of the removed user), or CLA-group deletion |
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:34
- This uses the wrong persisted attribute name. The signature model and DynamoDB queries use
signature_user_ccla_company_id; using a different name in a decision-table heading can mislead implementers applying the classification rule.
This issue also appears on line 44 of the same file.
### ICLA (`signature_user_company_id` empty)
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:15
- The Revoked date is not shipped as described. The merged frontend does not consume
flaggedAtand PR #1440 explicitly states that pill dates are absent. The backend date is also not reliably “first detection”:UpdateCompanySanctionStatus(..., true, "sss")permits an already SSS-flagged company and rewritessanctioned_date, while a failed write returns the current observation time. Mark the date pending, or fix both producer and consumer before treating it as stable conformance behavior.
| **Revoked** | ECLA only | The employer is flagged by sanctions screening | `Revoked · <date>` — `sanctioned_date`, stamped at first detection | None — read-only; the producer forces `valid` and `claManager` false |
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:44
- Use the actual persisted ECLA discriminator,
signature_user_ccla_company_id, rather than the nonexistentsignature_user_company_id.
### ECLA (`signature_user_company_id` set)
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:53
- The PR description says this
approved=falsemapping is still pending Heather, but this row treats Invalidated precedence as a decided target while the shipped backend returnsrevoked. Because the matrix is presented as the source of truth, link the recorded decision and update the PR description, or keep E6 pending and documentrevokedas the current outcome.
| E6 | **false** | **yes** | (not reached) | **Invalidated** *(per the 2026-08-24 decision)* | `invalidated` | ❌ **ships as `revoked`** — see decision 1 |

Address the second review pass from copilot[bot] and coderabbitai on easycla#5155: - State the ✅/⚠️ convention up front: ✅ rows are verified shipped behavior,⚠️ rows are proposals with the shipped behavior named alongside them. The header previously claimed the document described shipped behavior with a single exception, which was not accurate. - Stop presenting E6 as decided. The Invalidated precedence is a proposal that has not been ratified; revoked is the current behavior and what to implement against today. Same correction for the E7 no_active_ccla split. - Add the shipped row-action gates as their own table, taken from cla-manager-actions.utils.ts. Request Removal is gated on "ECLA and not Revoked", so unknown rows retain it too — the pill-by-pill column had this wrong. Signed-off-by: Michal Lehotsky <mlehotsky@linuxfoundation.org>

- The linked requirements still contradict this matrix: lfx-self-serve#1256 and #5144's FR-010 define only Valid/Needs attention/Revoked, whereas this document adds Invalidated/unknown and keys Revoked on company state. Because this is presented as the conformance source, explicitly track that reconciliation here or update those requirements before directing implementers to them.
**Parent spec**: [spec.md](spec.md) (FR-010, in [easycla#5144](https://github.com/linuxfoundation/easycla/pull/5144)) | **Tickets**: [lfx-self-serve#1256](https://github.com/linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve/issues/1256) (status column), [lfx-self-serve#1423](https://github.com/linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve/issues/1423) (wire status/reason), [lfx-self-serve#1370](https://github.com/linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve/issues/1370) (revocation metadata), [lfx-self-serve#1732](https://github.com/linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve/issues/1732) (ICLA invalidation date)
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:82
- This consequence is incorrect and conflates GitLab username and organization criteria. With
signature_approvedunchanged, the live evaluator can return Valid when another criterion covers the user, Needs attention after a completed miss, or Unknown when a remaining GitLab-org criterion triggers the unevaluable fallback. In that fallbackvalid=true, butassignMyClaStatusemitsunknown, so Self Serve renders “—”, never the Valid pill.
- **Approved List removal does not cover every criterion.** `verifyUserApprovals` (`signatures/repository.go:4111-4186`) branches only on `EmailDomainCriteria`, `GitHubOrgCriteria`, `GitHubUsernameCriteria` and `EmailCriteria`. Removals under the GitLab username and GitLab organization criteria reach `invalidateSignatures` but match no branch, so `InvalidateProjectRecord` is never called and `signature_approved` stays `true`. A contributor removed from a GitLab approval list therefore does **not** land in I3/E5; their row falls through to the coverage check instead — and because GitLab group membership is itself unevaluable (`covered=true, unevaluable=true`), that row keeps rendering **Valid**. Treat this as a backend gap, not as documented behavior.
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:16
- The merged frontend does offer Request Removal on an
unknownECLA:canRequestClaRemovalaccepts every non-Revoked ECLA, and the row menu applies it to this state. Listing no actions makes this conformance table disagree with the shipped UI.
| **—** (`unknown`) | ECLA only | Coverage could not be evaluated — a transient fault, not an answer. Plain text, **not a named pill** | no | None |

- This contradicts the shipped backend and the PR description:
ScreenCompanytreats a non-SSSis_sanctionedflag as an authoritative administrator-set block, so a person can cause the Revoked state without any live screening. Describe Revoked as coming from either screening or an administrator-set company block; otherwise readers will incorrectly infer that every Revoked row is a screening result.
| **Revoked** | ECLA only | The employer is under a sanctions block, so the agreement cannot be relied on. Set by the system, never by a person in the product. | no — see [Known limitations](#known-limitations) | Nothing — the row is read-only |
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:95
- These linked tickets still contain acceptance criteria that contradict this claimed settled source of truth: #1256 still requires dated Invalidated/Revoked pills, gives
unknownno actions, and calls E6 unresolved; #1423 omitsrevokedand maps sanctions tounknown; #1370 says no sanctions-date writer exists and requests signature-level metadata. This also conflicts with the PR description's claim that #1256 and #1370 were reconciled. Update the ticket bodies or explicitly mark these links as superseded before directing implementers to them.

- The linked #1370 does not currently track this settled limitation: it requires signature-table revocation metadata and a dated
Revoked · <date>display, while this matrix ships Revoked undated and the PR says the prerequisite is to suppress observation-timeflaggedAt. Re-scope/update that ticket before citing it as the tracker.
| **No dates on Invalidated or Revoked** | Neither status shows when it happened. For Revoked a date exists but is not reliable in every case, and for Invalidated no date is recorded at all — so showing one risks displaying a wrong date, which is worse than showing none. | [#1370](https://github.com/linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve/issues/1370) (Revoked), [#1732](https://github.com/linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve/issues/1732) (Invalidated) |

- This excludes administrator-set sanction blocks.
ScreenCompanyimmediately treats anis_sanctionedcompany whose origin is notsssas flagged, so these rows become Revoked without a system screening result. Describe both sources so the pill is not incorrectly attributed.

- The shipped Contact CLA Manager action cannot actually contact anyone: in the merged frontend, contact mode deliberately performs no POST and reports “Message not sent.” Because this matrix describes shipped contributor actions, record that limitation rather than presenting Contact CLA Manager as functional.
| **Contact CLA Manager** | ECLA showing Needs attention |
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:92
- As currently published, #1256 still says
unknownhas no actions, both Invalidated and Revoked are dated, and E6 is unresolved. Those acceptance criteria contradict this matrix and the PR description's claim that #1256 was reconciled. Update the linked ticket so implementers are not given two different contracts.

easycla#5156 landed the invalidation date, the stable revoked date, the contact requestType and the invalidated-ICLA re-sign block. Restate the document as the desired state and narrow the gap list to what is actually not implemented. - Invalidated and Revoked are dated states; add the rule that a date is shown only when one was recorded, never invented - Contact CLA Manager is described as a working message-only action - Replace "Known limitations" with "Not yet implemented", split into frontend-only gaps (dates, contact send) and genuinely open items - Drop the ICLA re-sign warning; easycla#5154 is closed by the block in v2/sign Signed-off-by: Michal Lehotsky <mlehotsky@linuxfoundation.org>

- This overstates date coverage for Invalidated rows. The merged backend stamps
date_invalidatedonly on the PCC ICLA path; approved-list removal and CLA-group deletion still use the metadata-free invalidation path, so newly invalidated ECLAs remain undated. Scope the date cell to PCC ICLAs so implementers do not expect a date for every Invalidated row.
| **Invalidated** | ICLA + ECLA | The agreement itself was made void — by a CLA manager removing the contributor from an approved list, a project admin invalidating an ICLA, or a CLA group being deleted. In the data this is `signature_approved = false`. | yes — *Invalidated · date* | ICLA: nothing. ECLA: Request Removal |
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:15
- Revoked is not exclusively system-set.
UpdateCompanySanctionStatusexplicitly supports manual/admin updates (origin=""), and the status mapping keys only on companyis_sanctioned, so an administrator block also produces Revoked. Describe both sources to avoid incorrectly attributing every block to screening.
| **Revoked** | ECLA only | The employer is under a sanctions block, so the agreement cannot be relied on. Set by the system, never by a person in the product. | yes — *Revoked · date* | Nothing — the row is read-only |
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:23
- Missing dates are not limited to records created before the fields existed. Approved-list removal and CLA-group deletion still do not stamp
date_invalidated, even after the PCC metadata change, so this rule currently implies broader timestamp coverage than the backend provides.
- **A date is shown only when a real one was recorded.** Invalidated reads its date from `invalidatedAt`, Revoked from `flaggedAt`. Neither is ever invented: agreements invalidated, and employers sanctioned, before those fields existed have no date, and their rows show the status on its own. A wrong date is worse than none.
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:29
- The three stored records are no longer identical after easycla#5156: PCC ICLA invalidation now stores
date_invalidated,invalidated_by, and optional reason/note, while the other two paths retain the old record shape. Attribution is still unsafe because that metadata is incomplete across paths and actor/reason are not exposed by My CLAs, but the stated reason needs to reflect the shipped backend.
Three different events produce Invalidated, and the stored record is **identical** for all three — it does not capture which one occurred. So the status deliberately attributes nothing.
This is a constraint, not a copy choice: wording like "your CLA manager removed you" would be wrong whenever the cause was actually a project admin or a deleted CLA group. Naming a cause requires a backend change first.
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:85
- These fields are not present “on every row.”
invalidatedAtexists only whendate_invalidatedwas stamped (currently the new PCC ICLA path), andflaggedAtis emitted only for a flagged employer with a stored sanction date. State their optional scope so frontend work handles absent values correctly.
| **Dates are not displayed** | Invalidated and Revoked render without a date, even where one was recorded. | Done — `invalidatedAt` and `flaggedAt` are on every row ([easycla#5156](https://github.com/linuxfoundation/easycla/pull/5156)). The console's row model carries neither field. |
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:92
- A GitLab removal does not always leave the row unevaluable or “covered-looking.” The fallback is based on the current CCLA: if no GitLab-org criterion remains, evaluation can complete uncovered and produce Needs attention; if another valid criterion matches, it remains Valid; only a remaining GitLab-org criterion forces “—”. Document the possible outcomes rather than guaranteeing one.
| **GitLab approved-list removals do not invalidate** | A contributor removed from a GitLab approved list keeps a covered-looking row instead of Invalidated. GitLab group membership cannot be checked without per-group tokens, so the row stays unevaluable. | needs filing |
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md:94
- “The cause is not recorded” is no longer universally true: PCC ICLA invalidation now records actor and optional reason/note. The product still cannot offer cause-specific guidance because My CLAs does not expose that metadata and the other invalidation paths do not record it, so qualify the limitation rather than contradicting the merged backend.
| **Invalidated offers no way forward** | The contributor sees the status with no suggested next step. The cause is not recorded, so no single contact would be right for every case. Signing a replacement ICLA is now correctly blocked, so any guidance must not imply otherwise. | open product question |
| | **Revoked** | ECLA only | The employer is under a sanctions block, so the agreement cannot be relied on. Set by the system, never by a person in the product. | yes — *Revoked · date* | Nothing — the row is read-only | | ||
| | **—** | ECLA only | Coverage could not be confirmed. Shown as a plain dash, **not** a labelled pill, because this is an absence of information rather than a verdict. | no | Request Removal | | ||

| Three rules that hold across the table: |
Contact is a message-only action, so it belongs wherever a manager could help — Valid as well as Needs attention. It stays off Invalidated (a manager cannot clear the approval flag) and off "—" (the problem is undiagnosed and managers may not resolve at all). Records the frontend gate change for implementation.

Adds the M2 status matrix — the single source of truth for the status a My CLAs row shows: Valid, Needs attention, Invalidated, Revoked, and "—" for coverage that could not be confirmed.
Everything the document describes is shipped in both repos: the backend status fields on
easycladevand the frontend rendering from linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve#1440 (merged 2026-08-21). It is written for product review, so it states behavior in product terms, and anything that is a known gap or an intended future change is called out as such rather than mixed in with what works today.Purpose: engineers implementing linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve#1256 and linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve#1423 validate their status logic against it, and the model can be reviewed and approved as a whole.
Note on placement: this file's parent spec is FR-010 in
spec.md, which lands with #5144 and is not yet ondev— so the matrix sits beside its parent only once that PR merges. FR-010 there still predates the current status model and needs the same correction; linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve#1256 has already been updated.What the document specifies
signature_signed,signature_approved, companyis_sanctioned).Known gaps, recorded in the document
The status model itself is settled; these are gaps around it, none of which blocks it:
supersededis unreachable — nothing can produce it, because the version a contributor signed is never compared against the current one. Document-version staleness is not handled at all.One open product question: an Invalidated row offers the contributor no next step and no one to contact, and because the cause is not recorded no single contact would be right. The document proposes either leaving it as-is or adding one line of static guidance. It also flags why a working "sign a new CLA" button would be unsafe today — nothing prevents signing a fresh auto-approved ICLA (linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve#1859), which would silently undo a deliberate invalidation.
Relates to: linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve#1229 (M2 epic), linuxfoundation/lfx-self-serve#1253 (Story E), #5144 (M2 Spec Kit slice — spec.md FR-010).
