# Operate and Improve

Investigate a Platform run, use supported operator controls, reconcile incomplete effects, and turn observed failures into repeatable evaluations.

Start with the workspace, run or conversation identifier, approximate time, and the outcome being investigated. Use a credential permitted to inspect that workspace. Operator actions require additional permissions and channel support.

## Find the Execution

In Console, open **Operate → Runs**. The unified inventory includes supported conversation and framework run records; the old Conversations listing redirects there. Conversation detail remains the place to inspect the underlying conversation. The [Runs API](/developer-guide/platform-api/conversations/runs.md) documents filtering, detail, and supported controls.

Record the selected service/version, channel, execution state, and available error or correlation identifiers. Read history and traces as evidence with their stated completeness limits. A generated summary or missing recording link is not sufficient to determine whether an action completed.

## Choose the Correct Lifecycle Action

| Observation                                                       | Next action and verification                                                                                                                                            |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| An application text conversation has reached its intended outcome | Apply the documented [conversation close](/developer-guide/platform-api/conversations.md) behavior and read back its state; preserve the durable answer before cleanup  |
| A persistent text connection drops                                | Follow the [session protocol](/developer-guide/platform-api/platform-api/sessions.md); verify the conversation state before creating another interaction                |
| A managed message thread is complete                              | Use that [channel's lifecycle](/developer-guide/platform-api/conversations.md); thread identity, terminal closure, and a forced new conversation are separate decisions |
| An eligible voice run needs human intervention                    | Use [operator controls](/developer-guide/platform-api/conversations/operators.md), verify takeover, and verify handback separately; voice operators join by phone       |
| An integration action is approved or a request times out          | Inspect the target result before retrying; [approval and external completion](/developer-guide/guides/verify-an-integration-action.md) are separate evidence            |

Do not apply one channel's close or retry behavior to every session type. Where an outcome is ambiguous, preserve identifiers and reconcile before repeating a mutation.

## Recover and Escalate

Follow [Troubleshoot an Integration](/developer-guide/guides/troubleshooting.md) to distinguish access, configuration, execution, projection, and external-delivery failures. Capture the last verified boundary and the next safe diagnostic. Share only the minimum permitted evidence through the agreed support channel.

## Improve

Console's **Improve** area groups Quality, Insights, and Dashboards. Use [quality metrics](https://docs.concurrence.com/testing/testing/metrics), [production evaluations](/developer-guide/platform-api/safety/production-evals.md), and [trace analysis](/developer-guide/platform-api/safety/call-trace-analysis.md) according to their access and coverage limits.

Turn a reproduced failure into a bounded evaluation case with a stated expected result. Compare candidate configuration against that case using [Build and Prove](/developer-guide/guides/build-and-prove.md). Distinguish missing evaluation evidence from a passing evaluation and model-generated interpretation from independently verified facts.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.concurrence.com/developer-guide/guides/operate-and-improve.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
