📖What it means
Work that has stopped making progress without failing — nothing errored, nothing finished. Stalls are dangerous precisely because nothing raises an alarm on its own; only a watcher noticing the absence of progress finds them.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Blocked
A stall is silent and unnoticed; blocked is a recorded state.
Not: Incident
A stall is one kind of incident — the quiet kind.
