h2(#container_states). Container states
|Queued|Waiting for a dispatcher to lock it and try to run the container.|Locked, Cancelled|
|Locked|A dispatcher has "taken" the container and is allocating resources for it. The container has not started yet.|Queued, Running, Cancelled|
|Running|Resources have been allocated and the contained process has been started (or is about to start). Crunch-run _must_ set state to Running _before_ there is any possibility that user code will run in the container.|Complete, Cancelled|
-|Complete|Container was running, and the contained process/command has exited.|-|
+|Complete|Container was running, and the contained process/command has exited.|Cancelled|
|Cancelled|The container did not run long enough to produce an exit code. This includes cases where the container didn't even start, cases where the container was interrupted/killed before it exited by itself (e.g., priority changed to 0), and cases where some problem prevented the system from capturing the contained process's exit status (exit code and output).|-|
+See "Controlling container reuse":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/controlling-container-reuse.html for details about changing state from @Complete@ to @Cancelled@

+h2(#runtime_status). Runtime status
+
+Runtime status provides container's relevant information about its progress even while it's still in Running state. This is used to avoid reusing containers that have not yet failed but will definitely do, and also for easier workflow debugging.
+
+The following keys have well known meanings:
+
+table(table table-bordered table-condensed).
+|_. Key|_. Type|_. Description|_. Notes|
+|error|string|The existance of this key indicates the container will definitely fail, or has already failed.|Optional.|
+|warning|string|Indicates something unusual happened or is currently happening, but isn't considered fatal.|Optional.|
+|activity|string|A message for the end user about what state the container is currently in.|Optional.|
+|errorDetail|string|Additional structured error details.|Optional.|
+|warningDetail|string|Additional structured warning details.|Optional.|

h2. Methods
Required arguments are displayed in %{background:#ccffcc}green%.
+Supports federated @get@ and @list@.
+
h2(#create). create
Create a new Container.
h3. delete
-Delete an existing Container.
+Delete a Container.
+
+This API requires admin privileges. In normal operation, it should not be used at all. API clients like Workbench might not work correctly when a container request references a container that has been deleted.
Arguments:
