Subject: [PATCH b4 v2 10/44] review-tui: say which way a take did not reach 'accepted'
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 23:58:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-10-243fd19d322d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-0-243fd19d322d@kernel.org>

The take helpers return None for three different things: accept
unchecked in the dialog, a take that stopped short, and patches that
landed with only the record of them missing. All three were reported
as "series not marked accepted". The last is the worst: it reports a
take that did not happen over one that did.

Tell them apart. The dialog answers the first. The unrecorded take
gets a status of its own, kept out of the tracking database and
Patchwork like None. What is left is a take that stopped short.
