Note: Some ID values are GUIDs, while others are human-readable identifiers. The GUID-based IDs are “legacy” values from the original statuses introduced before we adopted human-readable IDs. To preserve backward compatibility, those original GUID-based IDs were not changed and we have no plans to change them.
