unhandled

Not yet managed

Unhandled describes something that hasn't been dealt with or processed.

In computing, an unhandled exception or error is one the program wasn't written to catch, often causing a crash.

More generally, unhandled matters remain unaddressed: The complaint sat unhandled for weeks.
