Completed

- object
  - `id` string: Execution id — stable across internal retries; use it with GET /v1/executions/{id}
  - `status` 'pending' | 'processing' | 'completed' | 'partial' | 'failed' | 'cancelled' | 'timeout'
  - `operation` string
  - `tag` string, nullable: Your X-Tag, if sent
  - `created_at` string, date-time
  - `completed_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `output` object: Operation result (see each operation). While a Studio render is processing: `stage` (queued · transcribing · downloading · preparing · cleaning_voice · mixing_audio · rendering · finishing), `phase` (the engine's: download · prepare · voice · audio · encode · qa · upload, or null), `progress` (a percent, 0–100) and `progress_fraction` (0–1), `eta_seconds` (seconds left, never below 0) and `estimate_seconds`
    - `health` object, nullable: Provider platform health for this sender; null when the provider cannot report it.
      - `imessage` 'active' | 'degradation' | 'outage'
      - `whatsapp` 'active' | 'degradation' | 'outage'
    - `sender` object: A provisioned iMessage sender order and its lifecycle. Activation is asynchronous: poll GET /v1/imessage/senders/{senderId} or subscribe to account.connected.
      - `id` string
      - `kind` 'phone' | 'email'
      - `handle` string, nullable: The sender handle once activation assigns it
      - `region` 'US' | 'GB' | 'null', nullable

      - `displayName` string, nullable
      - `failureReason` string, nullable
