FAQPage Schema
How do I pause a workflow and save its current state for later resumption?

To pause a workflow and preserve its state, the system verifies an active process, saves progress to QUEST.md and STATE.md, and emits a pause event for later resumption.

What happens to my automation state files when I pause an active quest?

When you pause an active quest, the system updates your QUEST.md and STATE.md files with the preserved state, logs a timestamp, and emits a quest_paused event.

Can I pause a command-line quest if no active workflow is running?

No, pausing requires an active quest to be running. The system guards against pausing when no quest is active and will not update state files or emit events.

How do I resume a paused workflow after saving its state?

You resume a paused workflow by using the quest_paused event emitted during the pause process, which enables resume flows to pick up from the saved STATE.md progress.

Does pausing a quest log a timestamp for event tracking?

Yes, pausing a quest logs a pause timestamp alongside updating the QUEST.md and STATE.md files, ensuring the automation state is tracked for later resumption.
