FAQPage Schema

How do I pause forge-auto workflow automation during maintenance?▼

You can pause forge-auto workflow automation by invoking the forge-pause toggle, which creates a filesystem flag at .gsd/forge/pause to halt progression at the next interval for safe maintenance.

What is the best way to check forge-auto pause status and configuration?▼

Checking forge-auto pause status uses a Bash script to detect the filesystem flag at .gsd/forge/pause, reporting the current state and auto-mode configuration to inform your deployment plans.

How does the forge-auto pause toggle mechanism work under the hood?▼

The pause toggle mechanism works via a small Bash script that detects, creates, or removes a filesystem flag at .gsd/forge/pause, pausing after the current unit or resuming immediately.

Can I resume forge automation immediately after debugging without restarting?▼

Yes, you can resume forge automation immediately by toggling the pause state again, which removes the filesystem flag and allows the workflow to continue from where it left off without restarting.

Does forge-pause require any external dependencies to manage workflow state?▼

No, forge-pause requires no external dependencies to manage workflow state, relying solely on a small Bash script and a filesystem flag at .gsd/forge/pause to control the automation intervals.
