Returns one workflow status.

The summary and detail views are identical on this resource: every field is small enough for a list row. `workflow` renders as `{"id": N}` until named in `include`.

## Parameters
- workflow_status (integer, path): The WorkflowStatus's numeric id.
- view (string, optional): Which field set to render.
- X-Request-Id (header, optional): A correlation id of your own. It is recorded in our logs next to the server's request id but never returned: the response header always carries the server's id. A value that does not match the pattern is discarded silently, never rejected.
- If-None-Match (header, optional): The ETag a read is conditional on. A match is answered 304 with no body.

## Response 200
- id (integer, required): Unique identifier.
- workflow_id (integer, required): Workflow this status belongs to. A status cannot be moved to another workflow: its transitions and the work items sitting in it belong to this one.
- name (string ≤ 255, required): Status name as shown on the board column and the status badge, e.g. `To do`.
- color (string ≤ 255, required): Six-digit hex colour, e.g. `#6b7280`. A stored value that is not six-digit hex reads back as `#6b7280`, so writing this field back unchanged replaces the malformed original.
- is_resolution (boolean, required): Whether a work item reaching this status counts as resolved. Drives the backlog's done state and what a completed sprint carries over.
- order (integer, required, server-assigned): Position within the workflow, left to right on the board; set by dragging in plnnrly and not writable. API-created statuses are created at 0 and fall back to the id tiebreaker.
- created_at (timestamp (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ), required): Creation timestamp.
- updated_at (timestamp (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ), required): Last-write timestamp; use for incremental sync.
- workflow (Ref or WorkflowSummary, required): Workflow this status belongs to.
- links (WorkflowStatusLinks, required)
  - self (url, required): The canonical URI of this record.
