make the duck walk forward for five seconds then sit

> First, check the duck's health, then get its status (to check whether it's seated). Actually, according to the skill: first run health once. If the robot is seated and movement is required, stand first. Let's start with health and status.

> Per the skill, the final status check is needed after the last step. In fact, the skill says this: "After the last step, execute `status` and tell the user what the robot did in one or two sentences using the numbers from the output." The sit output already has the final policy (sit) and odom, but the instructions say to run status after the last step. Let's run status to get the final state frame.

> The duck was sitting. I had it stand up, and then it walked forward at 0.3 m/s for 5 seconds, covering a distance of 0.547 m. After that it sat down again. Final state: sit policy, trunk height 0.066 m, no fall.

**assistant** + 21.6s

Done. The duck stood up from a sit, walked forward 5 seconds at 0.3 m/s, covering 0.547 m, then sat back down. Final state: policy sit, trunk at 0.066 m, no fall, control loop clean at 50 Hz.
