Action Approval Data Model

Actions are JSON files stored in /opt/homelab/actions/{status}/{action_id}.json.

Statuses

• pending: Waiting for operator approval.
• approved: Approved by operator, ready for execution.
• rejected: Rejected by operator, will not be executed.
• running: Currently being executed by an agent.
• completed: Successfully executed.
• failed: Execution failed.

Workflow

1. A system component (e.g. runtime-materializer or a future analyzer) creates a file in actions/pending/.
2. telegram-bot detects the file, sends a message to allowed users.
3. Operator clicks "Approve" or "Reject".
4. telegram-bot moves the file to actions/approved/ or actions/rejected/ atomically, appending a transition to transition_history.
5. The responsible agent (e.g. stability-agent on the target node) picks up the approved action, moves it to running, executes it, and finally moves it to completed or failed.
