The only consistent thing is there's nothing consistent about them :-/

I've been thinking about complaining about the very same thing!

(2) The second word should be the status, reflecting what the reader
needs to know or do, for example "succeeded", "failed", "submitted".

Yes!  Some scratch builds have a really long header and the
"completed" or "failed" is not visible even with far more than 72
characters shown.

Maybe you have some better ideas?

LGTM.

A related topic is headers, which could be used for filtering.
Various systems add headers -- see examples below -- but again there's
not much consistency and the headers aren't particularly useful for
filtering.

Yes again. It would be great if the headers were more useful.
