+## Status
+
+Root Patches and Issues have a Status that defaults to 'Open' and can be set by issuing Status events.

+```jsonc

+  "kind": 1631, // Applied / Merged for Patches; Resolved for Issues

+The Status event with the largest created_at date is valid.
+
+The Status of a patch-revision defaults to either that of the root-patch, or `1632` (Closed) if the root-patch's Status is `1631` and the patch-revision isn't tagged in the `1631` event.

 ## Possible things to be added later
 
-- "status" kind (for letting people know a patch was merged or an issue was fixed or won't be fixed)
 - "branch merge" kind (specifying a URL from where to fetch the branch to be merged)
 - inline file comments kind (we probably need one for patches and a different one for merged files)
