I couldn't care less about delay codes. I remind stations to pin the delay on me when necessary

By status lights I mean like for keeping up on status of tasks. Sabre runs it this way.
As for EDCT times you should be able to see the very latest ones for any of your flights in the plotter but it depends how the airline configures it.

While we don't publish delays until close to departure due to potential slot swaps, I don't withhold information willingly. Unfortunately for all of us, the ATC world is extremely unpredictable.
