Research direction

Start at the REST API entry points that serialize patch state, then trace how states are categorized as "Action Required". Confirm how project and delegate queries are represented. Done means API consumers can identify and download all patches requiring action for either scope, with coverage for the behavior in the relevant API tests.

Description

The REST API reports the name of the state but not whether that state is categorized as "Action Required". I'd like to be able to download all "Action Required" patches for a project or delegate.
