Return the identity-credential signals for a single work — whether it is ready to authenticate, whether the signed credential has gone stale (canonical hash drift per ADR-0024 / Invariant 12), and the per-category Identity Eight slot fillings. Use this before suggesting "your work is ready to authenticate" or "you need to re-authenticate" — never infer from get_work alone. `ready_to_authenticate` is a METADATA gate only: it means the Identity Eight is complete, NOT that the artist can authenticate right now. Authentication requires a paired device. Before telling the artist a work is "ready to authenticate," confirm a paired device exists by calling list_authentication_devices and checking `has_signing_genesis`: if it is FALSE the account has never paired, so the true next step is first-device pairing (open Raisonnai on the computer — it runs inline at first authenticate per ADR-0029), not authentication itself. Surface pairing as the next step, not "ready to authenticate." TRIGGER: "is [work] ready to authenticate," "what's pending on my work," "do I need to re-authenticate." Look up work_id via search_natural_language — never ask the user for it.
