Application status and Action Plan

An Application collects many detailed events into one customer posture. Start there; use the timeline only when you need the underlying evidence.

Customer posture

PostureMeaningDefault response
ReadyCurrent evidence satisfies the desired Application state.Verify application output and monitor normally.
In progressLiskov or Acurast is advancing work or waiting for an expected external fact.Wait and use the timeline for context.
Needs actionA typed blocker needs customer input or offers a supported bounded action.Follow the Action Plan once.
InactiveThe Application is paused, retiring, retired, or otherwise not admitting new execution.Read the stated lifecycle reason.

Posture is not a raw job state. One Application may have an old job still running, a successor in progress, and an overall Ready or Needs action assessment based on the desired policy.

Read from Console or CLI

Open the Application overview, or run:

proof liskov application status APPLICATION_ID
proof liskov application action-plan APPLICATION_ID

The Action Plan groups a decision with its conditions, disposition, and next action. Record its stable decision ID before acting. Do not translate an internal event name into your own retry instruction.

Retry only when offered

When the Action Plan exposes retry authority:

proof liskov application action-plan retry APPLICATION_ID \
--decision-id DECISION_ID \
--reason "configuration corrected" \
--yes

This is a bounded mutation for that decision cohort. It does not mean “keep trying until it works,” bypass spend limits, or override a different blocker. After one retry, verify that a new timeline event references the decision. If the same blocker remains, collect evidence and stop.

Verify

Confirm the Application UID, effective policy digest, current deployment, and last evidence time all belong to the intended Application. Then check whether posture changed or a new supported action appeared.

See Statuses, actions, and errors for literal tokens and Diagnose and retry for the workflow.
