A lifecycle for your test cases

A test case isn't a static thing. It's drafted, reviewed, approved, eventually retired. Thunders now tracks that.

• Four states: mark a test case as Draft, Ready, Approved, or Deprecated as it moves through your review process.
• Status snapshot on execution: every run captures the lifecycle status at the moment it ran, so you always know which version of a test was executed and whether it was approved.
• Auditable history: results stay tied to the exact version of the test that produced them, even if the test changes afterward.

For teams with formal QA processes (approvals, audits, compliance), you can now treat test cases like any other reviewable artifact. For everyone else, it's a clearer signal of which tests are battle-tested versus which are still in progress.
