The result defines the finish
Every task says what counts as done: the linen in stock, the order delivered.
For Will, the work ends when the result happens. The supplier’s reply is one step. Shipping is another. Ana Paula’s order is only resolved when it’s delivered to her door.
Task for #1842 · fictional example
Every task says what counts as done: the linen in stock, the order delivered.
Replies, payments and shipments show up as steps, not as the finish.
If half the linen arrived, the other half stays in the task, along with the orders that depend on it.
Will goes back to the source, like stock in Bling or Correios tracking, and checks the result before closing the task.
Will is one thing. This part leads you to these others.
The supplier replying is a step. The linen arriving in stock is what the order needs. Will tracks both and doesn’t mix them up.
Yes, after rereading the source and seeing the result: the order delivered in Correios tracking, the linen in stock in Bling.
The missing part stays open, linked to the orders that depend on it.
Because "the supplier replied" tends to turn into "it’s solved" in everyone’s head. Will keeps track of the difference.
This is one part. See the others.
