Wait

Pauses the run for a fixed duration, or for a duration decided at runtime, like waiting a day before a follow-up.

Polling (check, wait, check again), follow-up delays (nudge after 24 hours), or pacing API calls. Runtime-duration waits let the agent choose the delay, capped by a safety maximum set at setup.

What the architect sets up

• A fixed duration, or let the agent choose each time under a maximum cap

How it behaves in a run

• Runs when the agent decides it's needed, or automatically when a stage begins or completes.
