Steering, stopping, resuming, and retrying remain recorded in the same session as the work they affect. You can change course without losing the history that led to the decision.
Choose the right action
| What you see | Action | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| The run is healthy but taking the wrong approach | Steer | Adds guidance to the active work |
| The run should not continue | Stop | Cancels execution and records the decision |
| Kestrel is waiting for a choice or missing value | Resume | Supplies the requested response to the same run |
| A completed or failed attempt can safely be repeated | Retry | Starts another attempt with the same session context |
Before acting, read the focused session, active run, wait reason, and last terminal outcome. After acting, confirm that the new event appears in the same session.
