Set a ceiling
Attach time, step, token or other configured limits to the mission and its workers.
03 / BOUNDED EXECUTION
Make resource limits
part of the plan.
Budgets define how much time, work or model usage a run may consume. The supervisor can surface spend against its declared ceiling and make exhaustion an explicit execution outcome.
EXAMPLE MODEL This page describes a runtime surface; values and events are illustrative.
BUDGET SIGNALS
A reviewable
sequence.
Each transition keeps its relationship to the mission and the state that authorized it. That makes later review more useful than a detached success message.
01
Reserve for work
Assign bounded shares to workers or branches so parallel execution has a known envelope.
Track consumption
Keep observed use beside the requested ceiling and retain budget events in the run history.
Stop or continue by policy
When a limit is reached, record the outcome and require an allowed continuation decision.
WHAT THE OPERATOR CAN INSPECT
Context is part
of the control.

RUNTIME PRINCIPLE
A budget is an upper bound, not a promise that the configured work will finish within it.← Back to supervision overview
