Write a weekly status update from this Jira export: [ISSUE_EXPORT]. Project and goal: [PROJECT_AND_GOAL]. Reporting period: [PERIOD]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Stale after how many days: [STALE_DAYS].

Report overall status as green, amber or red with the rule used, progress against the plan in one sentence with a number, what was completed, what is in progress, what is blocked and by whom, decisions needed, and next period's priorities. Count issues by status and show percent complete as done divided by total: 22 of 40 is 55 percent, with 9 in progress, 5 to do and 4 blocked. Highlight any issue older than the stale limit without movement. Do not smooth over delays or invent causes that are not in the export.

Output under 250 words in Markdown, plus a three-line version for a chat message. If the export is too small or too old to support a status colour, say so in one sentence instead of guessing. Use plain words and the active voice, and name the single decision that would help most this week.

Invented export of 40 issues: 22 Done, 9 In progress, 5 To do, 4 Blocked.
Percent complete = 22 / 40 = 55 percent.
Overall: amber. Rule: red if more than 15 percent of issues are blocked; here 4 / 40 = 10 percent; amber because the release date is in three weeks and 55 percent is below the 65 percent we planned.
Completed: login redesign, export to CSV. Blocked: two issues waiting on the payment provider, two on legal text.
Decision needed: approve a second reviewer for the legal text by Friday.
Stale: 3 issues unchanged for more than 14 days.
