**Row**:
One unit of the range: a merged merge request (its merge, squash, or fast-forwarded commits) or a single direct
commit. Not "change" or "entry". A row carries the tags pointing into it; a row without a tag is still a row.
Its Jira keys are the ones its merge request or commit text names, plus every issue that links to it.

The latest `push` pipeline on the default branch for a row's newest commit. Distinct from the **tag pipeline**, the

A Jira issue whose status category is anything but `done`. Jira's category, not the status name, which each workflow
names differently.

**Linked change**:
A merge request or commit that a Jira issue's Web links point to. A linked merge request in a collected service has a
state and a target branch, so one outside the range reads as in production, not merged, closed, or merged into
another branch; a linked commit outside the range stays unknown.

**Related service**:
A GitLab project that a Jira issue's Web links point to through a merge request or commit, other than the service
the row belongs to. It need not be in the report.

production baseline, the Jira keys of those rows that are in scope, its tag pipeline, and the compare link from
production.

**Pick**:
The candidate chosen on the page as a service's release, by hand or from chosen issues. Avoid "selection".

**Chosen issue**:
A Jira issue ticked on the page; each service it touches picks the tag a `--jira` run would make its release tag.
Not the issue scope, which a `--jira` run is given before collecting.

**Issue that ships anyway**:
A Jira issue that a pick ships although nobody chose it, because a tag ships every row below it.

**Untagged rows**:
The rows above the newest row with a tag, or every row when none has one. Only a tag that does not exist yet can
ship them. The next tag is the highest `X.Y.Z` tag with its minor version bumped.
