No reply. Will retrying launch a second AI agent?

Описание и применение

При запуске AI‑агента с мобильного устройства отсутствие ответа не гарантирует, что запуск не произошёл. Добавление постоянных записей о запуске позволяет при повторной попытке определить, был ли результат уже сохранён, и избежать дублирования работы.

Задача

When an AI agent launch request from a mobile device receives no reply, users cannot determine if the launch succeeded, failed, or was never received, risking duplicate work or wasted resources.

Результат

The experiment confirmed that persistent launch records prevent duplicate work on retry and expose uncertainty when a final result is missing. It clarified that a missing reply does not imply failure and that retries should consult the record before re‑executing.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. User taps "Start agent" on phone. 2. System creates a launch operation record with a unique operation ID. 3. System attempts to launch the agent and writes the result to a file. 4. If the reply is lost, the user may tap again. 5. The retry request uses the same operation ID. 6. System checks the record: if a result exists, it returns the saved result; if the operation was accepted but no final result, it refuses another execution; if the task differs, it rejects as conflict.
• 7. User reviews the record (operation ID, status, any running tasks) to decide next steps.

Доказательства

The first row shows why keeping records helps: a lost reply does not erase a saved result.

If the operation was recorded, why can it not simply continue?
