📖What it means
A success criterion that has not yet been shown to be satisfied. The grader treats any must-have criterion left open as a FAIL — which is why bypass work must do the verification by hand and attach the proof.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Met
Open means no proof has been attached; met means proof has.
Not: Pending
Open is the birth state of every criterion; pending is a deliberate wait.
