Second Look: the independent check after auto-acting plays

After a play that acts on its own finishes, Booked Solid OS doesn't just take the run's word for it. It performs a Second Look: an independent, read-only pass that re-verifies the result, then reports what it found as a small chip next to the finished run in the Activity screen.

Where you'll see it

Open Activity after an auto-acting play wraps up. Next to the run's finished status you'll find the Second Look chip with one of three verdicts:

• Second look OK: the independent pass confirmed the result. The run did what it said it did.
• Needs you: the check found something worth your eyes. Review the run's output before relying on it.
• Couldn't confirm: the check wasn't able to verify the result either way. Treat the run as unverified and give it a quick look yourself.

Which runs get a Second Look

The rule is simple and it's about risk:

• Draft-only plays skip the Second Look. If a play only produces drafts, you are already the final check - nothing happened in the world until you approve and send. A second automated check would just be noise.
• Auto-acting plays get one. When a play actually acts on its own, there's no human review baked into the moment of action, so an independent verification runs afterward to close that gap.

How the check works

The Second Look is a separate, independent pass - not the same process grading its own homework. It is strictly read-only: it inspects the result and confirms it, but it never changes anything, never fixes anything quietly, and never sends anything. If something is off, it doesn't patch it behind your back - it flags it with "Needs you" and leaves the decision where it belongs, with you.

What to do with each verdict

1. Second look OK: nothing. Carry on.
2. Needs you: open the run's results in Activity and review them. Use the chat bar to tell Otto what to fix if something is wrong.
3. Couldn't confirm: check the result manually. If the run's file changes turn out to be wrong, remember you can always roll them back with Undo last run.
