When a bug spans several systems (a database row, an auth provider, an API key, and a client app), narrating the problem in prose keeps every reader reconstructing which pieces are done, which are blocked, and which are dependent on what. A 4-row status table — with explicit checks, Xs, and blocked-on items — turns the same information into a checklist the reader can scan in five seconds.
