Workflow runs in Activity
A workflow run fans work out across many helper agents and returns one result. While a run goes, the Activity tab of the side panel lists it as a row: watch the run there, look into its phases and members, or stop it.
Find a run in Activity
- The Activity tab of the side panel lists the runs of the chat you have open, one row each.
- A run with a name shows it as the row's title; a run without a name shows Workflow.
- A Ralph loop appears as a run titled Ralph loop with Round 1; Ralph loops covers the loop itself.
- In the chat, choose Open in Activity beside the run's record to jump to its row here. The control appears only when an Activity panel is loaded.
The panel itself is described in Activity, subagent rows in Watch and steer subagents, the record a run leaves in the chat in Subagents and the Activity panel, and generic row behaviour in Activity rows and actions.
Read the run's row
- While a run goes, its row shows where it is: the current phase, how many of its agents have settled out of the total, such as
1/2 agents or 0/1 agents, and its progress.
- A running run offers Open and Stop; a settled run keeps neither.
- A run that went to the background reads through its job.
Look into the run's phases and members
Expand the run's row to see how the run is doing.
- The run's phases are listed under a list labelled Phases.
- The run's members are grouped, for example Read and Write, each group showing how many members completed, how many are running and how many failed.
- A member without a name shows Empty member name.
Stop a run
Press Stop on the row. One press stops that run's work.
- Stopping a run that holds the chat's turn stops that turn, the same as stopping the chat (Chat with Oda).
- Stopping a background run stops its job.
- A settled run keeps no actions: selecting it opens the chat at the run's turn.
When a background run reads as stopped
- A background run reads through its job. Once the job has ended or is gone, the run reads as
stopped.
- A fresh background run gets a short grace window before it reads that way, so it is not marked stopped while its job is still arriving; a job that appears within the window is the run's own.
- An older run missing from a loaded list reads as stopped at once.
- A run is matched to a job only when the two started around the same time.
Questions, answered
Where do I find a workflow run in Activity?
The Activity tab of the side panel lists the runs of the chat you have open, one row each. In the chat, Open in Activity beside the run's record jumps to its row. A run without a name shows Workflow.
What do the numbers on a run's row mean?
They count the run's agents: how many have settled out of the total, for example 1/2 agents or 0/1 agents. The row also names the phase the run is in and shows its progress.
What does an expanded run show?
The run's phases, under a list labelled Phases, and its members, grouped (for example Read and Write) with their completed, running and failed counts. A member without a name shows Empty member name.
Why does a run show as Workflow?
Workflow is the title a run shows when it has no name of its own. A member without a name shows Empty member name.
What does stopping a workflow run do?
Stopping a run that holds the chat's turn stops that turn, the same as stopping a chat (Chat with Oda). Stopping a background run stops its job.
Why does a background run read as stopped?
Its job has ended or is gone from the list. A fresh run gets a short grace window first, so it is not marked stopped while its job is still arriving; an older run missing from a loaded list reads as stopped at once. A run is matched to a job only when the two started around the same time.
Why does a settled run keep no Open or Stop?
A settled run keeps no actions. Selecting it opens the chat at the run's turn.
What does a Ralph loop look like in Activity?
It appears as a run titled Ralph loop with Round 1. Ralph loops covers the loop itself.
