Check the status of a Tendem task and take the next correct step.

  • If a `task_id` accompanies this invocation, use it. Otherwise call

`list_tasks` and either use the obvious in-flight task or ask the user which one.

  • Call `get_task(task_id, wait_for_change_seconds=30)` and act on the returned

`next_action` (per the `tendem-tasks` skill):

  • `awaiting_tendem_work` → it's still working. Report where it stands and do

NOT sit re-polling. The task lives on Tendem's side, nothing is lost between sessions — the user can simply ask again later ("how's the Tendem task doing?" or `$tendem-status`), and the plugin's notification hook pings them the moment the task needs them.

  • `await_input` → read the new chat and answer via `send_message` (or escalate).
  • `await_user_approval` → call `get_contract(task_id)` for the full scope +

price, surface both; approve only with the user's go-ahead.

  • `await_user_topup` → give the user the `topup_url`.
  • `fetch_result` → follow the `tendem-result` skill (or call `get_task_result`).
  • `done` → nothing left; summarize the outcome.

Summarize where the task stands and what happens next in plain language.
