Would you like to:

1. **Resume from where we left off** - Continue from step {{current_step}}
2. **Start fresh** - Archive old state and begin new scan
3. **Cancel** - Exit without changes

**Status Updated:**

- Progress tracking updated

**Next Steps:**

- **Next required:** {{next_workflow}} ({{next_agent}} agent)

Check status anytime with: `workflow-status`
{{else}}
**Next Steps:**
Since no workflow is in progress:

- Refer to the BMM workflow guide if unsure what to do next
- Or run `workflow-init` to create a workflow path and get guided next steps
