## Common Workflows

### Check Workflow Status

```bash
# List all workflows
vapora workflow list

# Get specific workflow details
vapora workflow status <id>
```

### Approve Multi-Stage Workflow

```bash
# Start workflow
ID=$(vapora workflow start --template feature_development \
  --context context.json | grep -oE '[0-9a-f-]{36}')

# Monitor until waiting for approval
watch -n 5 vapora workflow status $ID

# Approve when ready
vapora workflow approve $ID --approver "$(whoami)"
```

### Cancel Stuck Workflow

```bash
# Find workflow
vapora workflow list

# Cancel with reason
vapora workflow cancel <id> --reason "Timeout exceeded"
```

### Template Discovery

```bash
# List available templates
vapora workflow templates

# Start specific template
vapora workflow start --template <name>
```

## Error Handling

### Workflow Not Found

```text
✗ Workflow not found: abc123
```

**Cause**: Invalid workflow ID

**Solution**: Verify ID with `vapora workflow list`

### API Connection Failed

```text
✗ API request failed: HTTP 500
```

**Cause**: Backend not running or network issue

**Solution**:

```bash
# Check backend status
curl http://localhost:8001/health

# Verify API URL
echo $VAPORA_API_URL

# Check backend logs
docker logs vapora-backend
```

### Invalid Template

```text
✗ API request failed: HTTP 404
```

**Cause**: Template name doesn't exist

**Solution**:

```bash
# List available templates
vapora workflow templates

# Use exact template name
vapora workflow start --template feature_development
```

### Approval Not Allowed

```text
✗ API request failed: Stage not waiting for approval
```

**Cause**: Workflow not in `waiting_approval` status

**Solution**:

```bash
# Check workflow status
vapora workflow status <id>

# Wait for status to change to "waiting_approval"
```

## Advanced Usage

### Custom API URL

```bash
# Production environment
vapora --api-url https://vapora.example.com workflow list

# Local development with custom port
vapora --api-url http://localhost:9000 workflow start \
  --template feature_development
```

### Scripting Workflows

```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -e

# Start workflow and capture ID
WORKFLOW_ID=$(vapora workflow start \
  --template feature_development \
  --context feature.json \
  | grep -oE '[0-9a-f-]{36}')

echo "Started workflow: $WORKFLOW_ID"

# Poll until completed or failed
while true; do
  STATUS=$(vapora workflow status $WORKFLOW_ID | grep "Status:" | awk '{print $2}')

  if [[ "$STATUS" == "completed" ]]; then
    echo "Workflow completed successfully"
    exit 0
  elif [[ "$STATUS" == "failed"* ]]; then
    echo "Workflow failed: $STATUS"
    exit 1
  elif [[ "$STATUS" == "waiting_approval"* ]]; then
    echo "Workflow waiting for approval"
    vapora workflow approve $WORKFLOW_ID --approver "CI/CD Bot"
  fi

  sleep 10
done
```

### JSON Context Generation

```bash
# Generate context from git commit
cat > context.json <<EOF
{
  "task": "Fix bug from commit",
  "commit": "$(git log -1 --format=%H)",
  "message": "$(git log -1 --format=%s)",
  "author": "$(git log -1 --format=%an)",
  "files": $(git show --name-only --format= | jq -R . | jq -s .)
}
EOF

vapora workflow start --template bugfix --context context.json
```

### CI/CD Integration

```yaml
# .github/workflows/vapora-deploy.yml
name: VAPORA Deployment
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

          curl -L https://github.com/vapora/vapora/releases/latest/download/vapora-cli -o vapora
          chmod +x vapora
          sudo mv vapora /usr/local/bin/

      - name: Start deployment workflow
        env:
          VAPORA_API_URL: ${{ secrets.VAPORA_API_URL }}
        run: |
          vapora workflow start \
            --template feature_development \
            --context .github/workflows/context.json
```

## Troubleshooting

### Command Not Found

```bash
# Verify installation
