Human-in-the-loop (HITL)
A workflow pattern where a human must approve before an agent crosses a consequential boundary.
Human-in-the-loop means a person explicitly approves, rejects, or escalates before the agent continues past a defined risk boundary.
Why it matters
Commerce teams need speed for analysis, but human accountability for consequential decisions.
How HARNEXA uses it
HARNEXA uses HITL at FINANCIAL and higher-risk boundaries, including PHANTOM order proposals.
FAQ
Questions this definition answers.
Is HITL required for every action?
No. HARNEXA keeps read-only work fast and reserves approval for consequential boundaries.
What does the human approve?
The proposed action, risk class, business context, and any required execution details.
Need these definitions mapped to a live commerce workflow, agent estate, or protocol-readiness path?
