my background turned green completed yesterday today it went back in progress

fingerprints valid for 1 year, and thus Criminality expired. You would be asked for new Fingerprints submission

You might get 2nd fingerprint request and BG will go back to in-progress is what my guess

Prohibitions encompasses everything that may prevent you from becoming a citizen, that includes security and criminality checks, language issues, knowledge issues, physical presence issues... In practice, it turns green when everything else does. Often at the same time as the last pending other item, but not always. It will do so soon. In the case of a July 2023 family member of mine, background turned green in October 2025 and prohibitions a month later, and then an oath date after another day. So, you're getting there, it probably will happen in December or January
