  title: GitLab Trigger a Manual CI Job and Poll to Completion
  summary: Start a manual CI job, then poll its status until it finishes.
  description: >-
    A CI/CD driver flow. The workflow runs a manual job in a project pipeline and
    then repeatedly reads the job until it leaves the running state, branching to
    re-poll while still running and ending once a terminal status is reached.
    Every step spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and executed
    without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
