A session may move from created to queued, then `starting`, `running`, `ending`, and finally `ended`. If something goes wrong it becomes `failed`, and if it is stopped before it starts it may become canceled.

The final states are `ended`, `failed`, and `canceled`. Until then, keep polling `GET /v1/sessions/{id}`.
