Cycle (the round)
Status:draft | active | in_progress | completed | archived.
Also: title, description, environment, dates, case_ids.
Create First Cycle when you know the scope. Draft = planning. Active = we’re supposed to be testing. Completed/archived = don’t keep adding results to it.
Run (the execution)
Status:in_progress | completed | aborted.
Start a run from a cycle (you need an active tester). Each case gets passed | failed | blocked | skipped | in_progress. You can have more than one run in a cycle (retest after they deploy).
Old run results stay. That’s why this beats overwriting cells.
