📖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.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Blocked", "distinction": "A stall is silent and unnoticed; blocked is a recorded state."}, {"term": "Incident", "distinction": "A stall is one kind of incident \u2014 the quiet kind."}]

📖Also called

- stuck
- hang
- no progress
