description: Use to report where a Kraft Lite chain has got to - which node is live, what is blocking it, how many fix attempts are spent.

# Where the chain is

    python3 "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/kl.py" state --chain-id <id>

To find out what else is here:

    python3 "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/kl.py" chains

That lists every chain in the directory with its title, status and current node.
Report all of them. A status that silently covers one of two chains is worse than
no status, and `state` alone cannot see the others.

Report, in a sentence or two: the node, whether it is running or blocked at a
gate, attempts spent against the cap if there is one, and which backend holds the
state. `status: unstarted` means no chain exists here yet - say that, rather than
that nothing is running.

Read-only. Do not advance, close, or approve anything from here - that is what
`next` and `gate` are for.

`$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` is set when this loads as a plugin. If it is unset, `kl.py`
is two directories above this file - use that path instead of an empty one.
