2Authored explanation
NL=coNL, undirected reachability is in L, and directed reachability has sublinear-space algorithms with larger time or other tradeoffs.
This leaves the following boundary unresolved: Deterministic logarithmic space for directed reachability remains unknown. The distinction is retained here so a restricted theorem, finite computation, or neighboring case is not presented as a solution of the full target.
