-----------------------------------

bq. Can you elaborate on the issue as well as why a documentation bug is a 
blocker ? 
On linux, for the sake of security and for running the tasks as the user 
themselves, TaskTracker uses LinuxTaskController binary. This can err out in 
various scenarious and the exit codes reflect the reason for failure. Currently 
the binary has a lot of exit codes(see 
_src/c++/task-controller/task-controller.h_), each signifying a particular type 
of error, but the exit codes are not yet documented. This issue should address 
this.

It is usual around here to fix documentation bugs as blockers as they won't add 
any new feature per se.
