Status Values Reference

Type	Status Options

Movies/TV	watched, watching, want-to-watch
Music	listening, favorite, archived
Papers	read, reading, to-read, reference-only
Podcasts	listened, watching, subscribed

Verify after writing

After adding or updating a media note:

1. Re-read it — frontmatter tags block-style, status: set to a valid value from the Status Values Reference above, and the type tag present so tag-queries find it.
2. Confirm it's filed in the folder its type implies (books / movies / music / papers / podcasts).
3. If you linked it to a MOC or another note, run python "80_Code/scripts/generate-link-index.py" --broken and fix any link you introduced.

Report the note path + its status. Don't report done on a note you haven't re-read.
