-Support both challenge polling and continue polling in DaVinci
+Adds `pollStatus()` method and `PollingCollector` to `@forgerock/davinci-client` for polling support in DaVinci flows.
+
+Pass a `PollingCollector` to `davinciClient.pollStatus(collector)` to get a poller function. The polling mode is detected automatically from the collector:
+
+- **Challenge polling**: Periodically calls the `/status` endpoint until the challenge is resolved.
+
+- **Continue polling**: Performs a delay and returns a status based on remaining poll retries. Call the returned poller function repeatedly in a loop until it resolves with the next node in the flow or an error.
+
+Adds ability to intercept the polling request with middleware.
