Track Lulu print-job and line-item status through the fulfillment lifecycle

Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Create a Print-Job via the print-jobs endpoint, which returns a print_job_id.
Poll the Print-Job status endpoint (or read the status object on the Print-Job resource) to see its current stage: CREATED, UNPAID, PAYMENT_IN_PROGRESS, PRODUCTION_DELAYED, PRODUCTION_READY, IN_PRODUCTION, SHIPPED, or DELIVERED.
Watch for the terminal error states REJECTED (invalid input/file) and CANCELED.
Once SHIPPED, read the line_item_statuses array in the status response — each entry has its own name, line_item_id, and a messages object with tracking_id, tracking_urls, and carrier_name.
Match line_item_id back to the line items you submitted when creating the Print-Job to update per-book shipment tracking in your system.
Known gotchas
Line items within a single Print-Job can ship separately and reach SHIPPED at different times — check the line_item_statuses array rather than assuming one shipment covers the whole job.
A Print-Job can only be canceled while it is still in the UNPAID stage; once payment starts processing, cancellation is no longer available via this flow.
