Description
Continue backend functional testing through status-backend to support Status releases and catch regressions below the desktop and mobile UI layers.
Proposed Q4 scope: the planning discussion reserves one or two backend functional-testing tasks without specifying their details. The maintenance and coverage tasks below continue the Q3 direction; concrete scenarios and ownership remain to be defined.
