# Get Central Robot Status

`GET /api/hf-auth/central-robot-status`

Proxy to the central signaling server's /api/robot-status endpoint.

Uses the stored HF token server-side so the desktop frontend never
sees the raw token. The frontend polls this to know whether any of
the user's robots is currently held by a remote JS app, and if so
which one (so it can show "In use by Hand Tracker" in the UI).

Response shape:
    { "available": bool, "robots": [...], "reason": str? }

`available` is false when:
  - no HF token stored (user not logged in)
  - central server is unreachable / returned an error
Callers should treat `available: false` as "unknown, don't block".

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- object
