Create a background monitor that watches for a condition and settles when it becomes true. Evaluation happens inside the plugin, so never write your own sleep/poll loop. Returns a monitor id; pass it to monitor_wait to pause until the condition holds. Use this for anything long-running: cluster jobs, builds, deploys, downloads, servers coming up. Installed condition types: command, file, log.

Block until the given monitor(s) settle (satisfied, failed, timeout, or cancelled). mode 'all' waits for every listed monitor; 'any' returns as soon as one settles. If wait_timeout_seconds elapses first, returns outcome 'wait_timeout'. Monitors keep running whenever a wait ends early, including when the call is interrupted, so call monitor_wait again with the same ids to resume.

Convenience: monitor_create + monitor_wait in one blocking call. Creates the monitor and pauses until it settles (or wait_timeout_seconds elapses, in which case the monitor keeps running and you can monitor_wait on the returned id later).

Snapshot of monitors without blocking. Omit ids for all monitors. Use for a quick look; use monitor_wait (not repeated status calls) to wait for completion.

Stop an active monitor. Settled monitors are left untouched.
