What
Status objects for timed or capped remote/background operations now include a new open field:
A status object used for tracking timed/capped operations now sets open: "stalled" when a request isn't a probe and hasn't been 'taken back,' in addition to its existing taken-back-based branching.
A still_running status response now includes open set to either "still_running" (when the operation is literally still running) or "delivery_unknown" otherwise, alongside the existing code/message/host fields.
Why
This gives a clearer, explicit signal for distinguishing an operation that's genuinely still running from one that's stalled or whose delivery status just isn't known, instead of leaving that ambiguous.
