 #### Extended definitions
 
-`Unhealthy` indicates that the node has lost connectivity for message reception,
+`Disconnected` indicates that the node has lost connectivity for message reception,
 sending, or both, and as a result, it cannot reliably receive or transmit messages.
 
-`MinimallyHealthy` indicates that the node meets the minimum operational requirements:
+`PartiallyConnected` indicates that the node meets the minimum operational requirements:
 it is connected to at least one peer with a protocol to send messages ([LIGHTPUSH](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/19/lightpush.md) or [RELAY](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/11/relay.md)),

 and one peer with [STORE](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/waku/standards/core/13/store.md) service capabilities,
