Open the graph on its own page — larger, printable, and an address you can send.

Walk it without running it — you answer what your environment would answer, and the path, the capabilities, the approvals and the distance back to an undo come out of the document. Nothing executes; there is no Run button here and there will not be one.

T2 · attested 2026-10-11 · runbooks.directory

Nobody has attested this record. That is the ordinary case: T2 is what the catalog can check on its own, and T3 needs somebody to run the procedure and sign for it.

Link liveness has not been checked: it needs a network and the catalog builds without one. Run pnpm gates --online where there is one.

Steps

s1 check — Check whether the marker exists
s2 wait — Wait and check again

Run it under supervision

Runs here, on your machine, under supervision: every step is proposed before it happens, an approval gate stops for you, and a failed expectation goes where the procedure says rather than on to the next step. Nothing is sent anywhere. To supervise an agent that is doing the work instead, runbooks hook sits in its tool-call path.
