This is the completion status of this specific FSM stage, independent of the overall workflow's status on the parent FSM object. Deleting the policy from the fabric happens as a short ordered sequence of named steps — e.g. removing it from fabric A, then fabric B — and this record is one of those steps, tracked separately so a stall or retry can be pinpointed to the exact stage it happened at. Values such as 'completed', 'in-progress', or 'fail-retry-exceeded' tell an admin whether this exact step succeeded, is still running, or is the one actually blocking the whole QoS-policy rollout.
