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.
