University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

At any point during execution, a StateM agent run occupies one of three distinct operational situations:

1. **Active**: The agent is executing within a non-terminal state and progressing through phase obligations.
2. **Paused**: Execution is halted in a non-terminal state because an external condition, dependency, or human approval is unresolved.
3. **Complete**: Execution has reached a designated terminal state and satisfied all exit verification contracts.

Critically, StateM distinguishes between an agent being paused due to an unresolved condition and an agent completing its work. Reaching a pause in a non-terminal state is not treated as a successful completion, preventing temporary blockages from being misclassified as valid handoffs.
