Problem
When viewing an issue that has dependencies or dependents, there's no visual indication of which linked issues are completed vs still open. All dependencies show the same "Task" badge regardless of their status.
Screenshot example:
In the issue detail view, the Dependencies section shows items like:
- "Inline editing: Backend fou..."
- "Phase 1: Read-only view of..."
- "Inline editing: Wiring + Fro..."
But there's no way to tell at a glance which of these blockers are done and which are still blocking progress.
Proposed Solution
Add visual status indicators to dependency/dependent items. Some options:
- Colored dots: 🟢 closed, 🟡 in_progress, ⚪ open, 🔴 blocked
- Strikethrough text for completed items
- Status badge next to the type badge (e.g., "Task" + "Closed")
- Checkmark icon for completed dependencies
Use Case
When triaging work or checking on blockers, users need to quickly see which dependencies are resolved without clicking into each one individually. This is especially important for epics with many subtasks.
