Example prompt: Can you check the status of my the402.ai job with ID job_a1239309752d4ede and let me know if it's completed yet?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have already submitted an async job to the the402.ai platform and need to poll for its completion or retrieve its result. Prefer this over general status APIs when the job was specifically created through the the402.ai marketplace.

## Known failure modes

- Job ID not found or invalid — returns 404 or error response
- Job still processing — returns in-progress status without final result
- Payment not accepted — returns 402 if USDC payment is missing or insufficient
- Malformed job ID — returns 400 bad request
- Network timeout or platform unavailability — returns 5xx error
