🟢	settled, and the reasoning rests on something checkable
🟡	assumed or proposed - made without input, and in the review queue
🔴	reversed, superseded or blocked
⚪	no status recorded

A date with ~ is not recorded - it is worked out from the dated entries either side, because an entry between two of them was written between their dates. ~ alone is a day both neighbours agree on; ~a..b is a span, and no day inside it is claimed; ~>a and ~<a are entries with a dated neighbour on only one side. A bare - has no dated entry either side to reason from.
