Documented steps
GET https://circleci.com/api/v2/pipeline/{pipeline-id}/workflow with header Circle-Token to list all workflows belonging to that pipeline.
Each item includes id, name, status, pipeline_id, created_at, and stopped_at.
To recheck a specific workflow later, GET https://circleci.com/api/v2/workflow/{id} with header Circle-Token using the workflow id from the list.
Valid 'status' values per the docs: running, success, failed, failing (a job failed but others still running/awaiting approval), on_hold (waiting for approval), canceled, error (internal error starting a job), unauthorized (job lacked access to a restricted context), and queued (queued due to a serial execution group).
Terminal states are: success, failed, error, unauthorized, canceled - only these allow a subsequent rerun via the API.
Per docs, workflows that remain non-terminal are automatically ended after 90 days.
'failing' and 'failed' are distinct statuses - 'failing' means still in progress with at least one failure so far, not yet terminal, and cannot be rerun until it reaches a terminal state.
A workflow stuck non-terminal for 90 days is auto-terminated by CircleCI per the docs - long-idle on_hold workflows will eventually be ended.
'queued' indicates the workflow hasn't started because of a serial execution group constraint, not an API/auth problem - don't treat it as an error.
