# X_PLAN_STATUS_INVALID

## Means

a `docs/plans/**/status.yml` does not parse, or its `status` or a slice's `status` is not `not_started \| in_progress \| blocked \| complete \| superseded`

## Typical cause

`done` or `finished` written by hand, a missing field, broken YAML

## Fix

edit the named `status.yml` to a template value, then `bun run plan-status --json`
