Description
I think an enum could potentially allow for better messages. For example if we returned something like
FlagStatus.DUPLICATE
A plugin could say something like you've already submitted this exact flag
Currently we just say correct/incorrect. I don't think this behavior necessarily needs to change but the ability to change it in a plugin would be nice.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by locating the flag comparison behavior and its plugin interface, then determine how a status such as DUPLICATE could be exposed without changing the current correct/incorrect behavior; done means plugins can produce more specific messages.
