Track progress in multi-phase workflows with real-time status updates and phase visibility.

• Use TodoWrite for real-time progress in multi-phase workflows
• Break complex phases into trackable tasks per significant operation
• Maintain one in-progress task at all times
• Provide full visibility into phase status and progress

• Real-time progress visibility per phase
• Track status transitions: pending → in_progress → completed
• Support for parallel tasks and iteration loops
• Phase-level and task-level progress tracking
• Clear user expectations with upfront task list
• Avoids batched updates and hidden phases
• Enables time estimation and workflow transparency
• Prevents user confusion with incremental task creation
