Description

I think that it would be useful to add a state machine tied to the task status field. So that task status changes are more controlled and more predictable.

This can be added for the status field on:

  • tasks
  • submissions

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a state machine for the status field on tasks and submissions using a library like django fsm or create a custom state machine to enforce valid status transitions.
