After creating a workplan, how do I know it's ready?

Workplans undergo a planning phase where ALFA constructs a dependency graph and evaluates which tools to invoke. This state transitions from NOT_READY to READY. You can monitor this via GET /v2/workplans/{id}/view, checking the plan_status field. Only when the status is READY can you execute the workplan; trying to run it earlier will result in an error or incomplete execution.
