We believe that this classifies as a response not in scope bug, as the implementation of a progress bar that updates in real time would take significantly much more effort than what we have currently implemented (which already took a lot of effort).
Moreover, the deadline is still present above the bar and it would be misleading to claim deadlines will be missed, as users can still fall back to the deadline as an indicator. In addition to your claim that the deadline bar only updates when the task is changed, it also refreshes whenever the ui is updated, such as whenever a new command that changes the UI (which is almost all commands) is entered or when the app is closed and reopened. It is also unlikely to expect managers to leave this application open perpetually without entering any commands.

Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
The deadline bar is not accurate because the deadline bar does not update in real-time. It only updates when the task is changed, meaning that it can be days or even weeks before the deadline bar updates itself, causing deadlines to potentially be missed.
