Describe the bug

I'm using trigger v4 (beta) and I'm creating a wait token and completing from a python app.

import requests

response = requests.post(
  "https://api.trigger.dev/api/v1/waitpoints/tokens/{tokenId}/complete",
  headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
  json={"output": { "status": "approved"}}
)

and I'm waiting for it like this (in TS):

const data = await wait.forToken<ApprovalToken>(tokenId).unwrap();

The wait token succeeds, and the run completes, but data is undefined and nothing is returned as output. I even tried logging it and adding to the run metadata, but it is undefined. Also in the dashboard no output is shown for the token.

Reproduction repo

none

To reproduce

Deploy a job in DEV mode, create a wait token, complete it via api, and you won't get it's output.

Additional information

No response

@ahmedriad1 we need to document the REST API for waitpoints. The body key should be data not output. I know that's a bit confusing, we should probably support both given we renamed some stuff in the SDK.

@matt-aitken thank you! Yeah that'd be great. Also update this page please, because my code snippet was taken from the docs https://trigger.dev/docs/wait-for-token#from-another-language
