Start Unstructured Foundation Orient the user to Unstructured Foundation. This command is user-invoked only; do not use it for unsolicited capability messages. First, call pipelineprocessingstatus with no since value. Use the returned status to give the next step: nosources: Say no sources are connected yet. Suggest /foundation:connect, then processing files, then asking what is searchable. neverrun: Say sources are connected but files have not been processed yet. Mention source names if the status includes them. If names are missing and pipelinelistsources is available, call it. running: Say files are still being processed. Include progress counts if returned. failed: Say processing hit a problem. Summarize the status and do not retry automatically. ready: Say Foundation is ready.
