# Get Checklist

`GET /checklists/{task_id}`

Retrieve the checklist for a specific task.

The status reflects whether the checklist is up-to-date:
- SUCCESS: Checklist exists and includes all available transcripts
- PENDING: No checklist yet OR new transcripts need to be processed
- PROCESSING: Checklist is currently being generated/updated
- ERROR: An error occurred

Returns:
- status: Current status of the checklist
- checklist_content: The checklist text (even if outdated, with status=PENDING)
- message: Additional information about the status
- has_new_transcripts: Whether there are unprocessed transcripts

Caching strategy:
- Cache checklist response with 60 second TTL
- Cache is invalidated when checklist is generated/updated (via Celery tasks)
