# Estimate a running measurement's end time from its remaining protocol

> Forecast when this still-running test will finish.

Replays the measured steps onto the protocol's state machine, then simulates
only the remainder with the cell specification's default model. Returns
immediately, marked ``estimating``; ``estimated_end_time`` lands when the
simulation finishes.

        - ``time_series`` — cycling / diagnostic data uploaded as columnar
          time series (and optional step summaries). Default for new
          measurements.
        - ``file`` — an opaque file upload (raw cycler export, image, other
          binary). Metadata about the file is captured in
          ``file_metadata``; the file content lives in object storage.
        - ``properties`` — a flat key/value set of measured properties
          (thickness, mass, DCIR, initial capacity, …) with no time-series
          data. Numeric values use the Quantity format.

        Lifecycle of a measurement's server-side step processing.


        Step processing runs asynchronously on the task queue after upload:


        - ``pending`` — the confirm-upload task is enqueued but not yet picked
        up.

        - ``running`` — a worker is parsing/validating the upload or
          auto-calculating steps.
        - ``ready`` — steps are processed and available. The terminal success
          state, and the default for ``file``/``properties`` measurements (which
          never run step processing) and for rows created before async processing.
        - ``failed`` — processing failed permanently; ``processing_error`` holds
          the reason.

        Used by both estimates: a planned test's total duration

        (``planned_measurements.estimated_duration_*``) and a running test's

        remaining duration (``cell_measurements.estimated_end_time_*``). One
        enum

        because the lifecycle is identical -- only what is being estimated
        differs.


        ``estimating`` while the job is in flight, ``ready`` once a value came
        from

        it, ``failed`` with the reason in the accompanying note. ``None`` means
        no

        estimate was ever requested.
