[FEATURE] UX for /workflow is missing some info / actual state of running task(s)

Problem Statement

When a workflow or agent runs in the background, the assistant cannot relay the intermediate status to the user : one has to check /workflows manually. The request is for a progress API accessible to the assistant during execution, not just at the end...

PLEASE FIX THIS :)

Proposed Solution

Proposed Solution / Ideal UX

When a workflow or background agent is running, the assistant should be able to query its live status on demand ( not just receive a final notification. Concretely:

• When the user asks "is it done?" or "any progress?", the assistant should be able to call something like TaskStatus(id) or read a live progress stream, and reply with the current phase, % complete, and active sub-agents.
• Alternatively, the assistant should proactively push a short status update every N minutes while a long task runs, without the user having to ask.
• The /workflows progress tree is good , but it's only visible to the user, not to the assistant. Bridging that gap (exposing the same data to the assistant at query time) would solve the problem.

Right now the assistant is blind between "launched" and "completed", which forces the user to monitor progress themselves , defeating the purpose of delegating to a background agent.
