1. Is `telnyx` CLI installed?
   NO  → npm install -g @telnyx/api-cli

2. Does ~/.config/telnyx/config.json exist with an api_key?
   NO  → Hand off to **telnyx-bot-signup** (see below)
         Works for both new AND existing accounts.

3. Does `telnyx account get` succeed?
   NO (401 auth error)  → API key is invalid/expired.
                           Hand off to **telnyx-bot-signup** to generate a fresh key.
   NO (network error)   → Check connectivity.
   YES                  → Proceed with the requested operation.

1. Read ~/.telnyx/upgrade.json (cache from the upgrade skill)

2. If decision == "APPROVED"
   → Account is already upgraded. Do NOT hand off.
     Retry the operation directly. If it still fails, the API key
     may need to be refreshed: telnyx auth setup

3. If decision == "REJECTED" and used_methods includes "github_oauth"
   → GitHub method exhausted. Do NOT hand off.
     Tell the user: "Your upgrade was not approved. Contact
     support at https://support.telnyx.com or try LinkedIn
     verification when available."

4. If decision == "PASS_TO_HUMAN"
   → Under manual review. Do NOT hand off.
     Tell the user: "Your upgrade is under review. I'll check
     back periodically." (The upgrade skill's cron job handles this.)

5. If no cache or status is "failed" / "polling_timeout"
   → Hand off to **telnyx-freemium-upgrade**.
