Worker status now starts from a configurable initialWorkerStatus instead of always defaulting to idle

What

Worker status reporting in Claude Code's connection/transport layer now starts from a new initialWorkerStatus value that can be passed in as an option, instead of always beginning at "idle" as before.

Why

This lets whatever sets up a worker connection choose its starting status rather than being locked to idle, which is useful if a worker needs to report as already busy or in some other state as soon as it connects.
