Correct (although I wonder if there is a further distinction between missed completely, and missed due to some change i.e. one or more sstate packages exist for the task but the signatures are different). > Built tasks can have 3 possible outcomes: previously built, completed and > failed.

Yes. > * Wouldn't a previously built task be an sstate task? If the definition of "previously built" is "previously built within the same build directory and not subsequently cleaned", then because there is a stamp present for the task, it doesn't even need to look at sstate for the task.
