Lifecycle status

The referendum's governance-process state, such as Rejected, Executed or Timed Out.

In plain language

Lifecycle status describes what happened to the referendum process. It does not necessarily describe whether the inner call succeeded.

Why it matters

An Executed referendum can still contain a failed dispatch.
