-- Automatic recording of test results (passed/failed/error/skipped)

-### Tracking Test Lineage
+### Status Tracking and Test Lineage
+
+The unique reference system with status tracking allows you to:
+- **Track Test Evolution**: Monitor tests from draft to production with complete history
+- **Analyze Test Stability**: Use status history to determine promotion readiness
+- **Maintain Audit Trails**: Full traceability for compliance and debugging
+- **Link CI Failures**: Connect production failures back to original draft intent
+- **Data-Driven Decisions**: Use status data to optimize TDD workflow
+
+**Advanced status analysis example:**
+```bash
+# Find tests that are consistently passing (ready for promotion)
+php artisan tdd:list --details | grep "✅ Passed"
+
+# Identify tests that need attention based on status history
+# (This could be automated using the .status.json data)
+```
 
-The unique reference system allows you to:
-- Track which tests originated from TDDraft
-- Monitor test evolution from draft to production
