Decisions

Needs attention on Work is the Decision queue. A connected agent can propose; only a person can approve.

Accept

Accept is one click: it approves the Decision. The Decision leaves Needs attention unless an option is still not chosen, the work it affects is not updated yet, or the leftover action is explicit Retire covering work….

An agent cannot Accept for you. An agent may accept its own Decision, or another agent's once it is in effect, but never one you have written to or accepted. A plain proposal from another agent stays with that agent. That accept records the agent and the person it acts for, not your approval. The agent that logged it, or accepted it, may clear pending on an in-effect Decision that only agents wrote. Once you write to a Decision, only you do.

That agent may also apply the change review for that Decision. Each change records the agent and the person it acts for. If the review archives work or reopens a finished ticket, the agent cannot apply it, and a person applies it.

Reject

Reject is for a proposed Decision only. It is a lifecycle close, it does not archive covering work.

Retire covering work…

Confirm-gated. It retires the covering specs this Decision is about. It never runs from free-form Decision text, and it never runs on Accept by itself.

Retry

If a mechanical follow-through fails after Accept, Retry. Do not re-type the Decision.

An Accepted Decision whose work is not updated yet says so in Needs attention and in the Decision itself, and both offer Retry. If no person has accepted it in Hub yet, Retry records you as accepting it, then updates the work it affects. If a person already has, Retry updates the work it affects. Once the work is updated, the Decision says who accepted it and when.

A removal Decision shows one message at a time. While its work is not updated, it says so and offers Retry. After the work is updated, it says who accepted it and what is next: plan the work to remove it in its spec, which it names by title.

If an update fails, the drawer says "Couldn't update its work. Use Retry." The Decision stays on Needs attention until a Retry updates its work. Reloading or opening it does not clear it, and neither does sending its changes to review.

What you will not see

There is no separate follow-through verb after Accept. After a successful Accept the next hop is not “update guidance” or “apply residual.” If the follow-through fails, Retry.
