## chainctl skills status

Check a harden job or wait for it to finish.

### Synopsis

Check the job ID printed by skills harden without uploading or submitting
the skill again. Progress names the pipeline stage once the job is running.
--wait tracks the job to completion and downloads the hardened skill and report
to ./hardened/NAME, with .hardened-artifact.json recording the published
reference and digest. A timeout or interrupt leaves the job running. A skill the
post-hardening scan rejected downloads unmodified to ./unhardened/NAME and exits
nonzero, naming the scanner and rule that rejected it. Other failures exit
nonzero and name the stage the job failed in.

```
