# Supervision while a step runs

> The attempt's own events feed a fast decision model on a debounce, and the run carries on, stops and retries, or puts the step to a person.

<Note>
  **Coming soon.** Not in this release. This page says what the feature is,
  so that the shape is public before the code is.
</Note>

Every gate this runtime ships sits between steps. A step finishes,
something judges the result, and the run moves on. That leaves one case
unanswered: a step that is going nowhere, half an hour into an hour's
budget.

A supervised step is watched while it works. Its own events feed a fast
decision model on a debounce, which answers a few typed questions, and the
run carries on, stops and retries, or puts the step in front of a person.

The step does not pause to be assessed. The work keeps going while the
judgement happens beside it, and a run that has lost its way costs a
fraction of its budget instead of all of it.
