Status values

The status field uses uppercase string constants. The vm_state field provides stable state context and is returned by the single-instance detail endpoint and the data "gcore_cloud_instance" Terraform data source. task_state is non-null only during a background operation. Operations like REBOOT and REBUILD transition status out of ACTIVE to a dedicated value. Other operations — live migration, snapshot creation — keep status: ACTIVE while task_state carries the operation name. Check both fields when the VM has not fully settled.
