Returns a lightweight ingestion status payload for polling — `status`,
`chunk_count`, `total_pages`, and (when failed) `error`. Unlike
`GET /documents/{document_id}`, it never returns the assembled chunk
content, so it is cheap to poll on large documents. A document whose
ingestion has stalled (no progress past the configured timeout) is
transitioned to `failed` with `error=INGESTION_TIMEOUT` on read.
