Both answer "is it known, is the site up" for people outside the repo. (1) What's in flight. A pinned location for "yes, the X bug is known and being worked on": either a STATUS.md at the repo root (read by anyone clicking through to the source) or a pinned message in the Discord channel. Today the pattern is repeated explanation in DMs; pick a format when the same "is X being looked at?" question lands twice. (2) Branded status URL. UptimeRobot exposes a public status page on free tier (currently https://stats.uptimerobot.com/<monitor-id> for the Vidit API health monitor); the URL leaks the provider name and reads off-brand. A Cloudflare Redirect Rule on a status.vidit.app subdomain would 302 every visit to the underlying UptimeRobot URL; clean brand, no UptimeRobot upgrade needed. DNS: add a record for status.vidit.app and flip it to Proxied (orange cloud); safe to proxy this one because the subdomain hosts no service and doesn't need Let's Encrypt (unlike the apex and api. where proxy mode breaks cert provisioning, see engineering.md → Particularities). Cloudflare → Rules → Single Redirect: match http.host eq "status.vidit.app" → dynamic redirect to https://stats.uptimerobot.com/<monitor-id>, status 302. Free on all Cloudflare plans. Worth wiring once the status page becomes something analysts are asked to check; not urgent until then.
