# Watching a run: work log, plan and telemetry

> What you see while RoGenie works - the plan checklist, the work log, thought summaries, sub-agent panels, run outcomes and the Info telemetry.

A **run** is everything RoGenie does to answer one message. RoGenie shows its work as it goes, so you always know what it changed and why.

## The plan checklist

For multi-step work, RoGenie writes a plan first. The checklist shows each task and ticks it off as it finishes, with a progress bar above the message box so the progress stays in view while you scroll.

## The work log

Under each reply, the **work log** lists every action RoGenie took: what it asked Studio or a tool to do (the request) and what came back (the result). Typical steps are reading scripts, editing code, creating instances, searching the Toolbox, taking screenshots and running playtests.

- **Script edits** show a small diff of the lines that changed.
- **Screenshots** from Studio and playtests appear in the log; click one to zoom.
- **Failed steps** are marked. A failed step does not always mean the run failed: if RoGenie recovered, the header says how many steps failed and that RoGenie carried on.
- **Provider routes.** If a model route failed and RoGenie retried on another one, the log says so. Routes are shown as *Provider 1*, *Provider 2* and so on.

You can collapse the log once a run is done. To hide tool calls entirely, turn off **Enable working panel** in [Agent settings](https://rogenie.ai/docs/agent-settings#transparency).

## Thought summaries

Some models share a summary of their reasoning as they work. RoGenie shows these **thought summaries** live. They are only the summaries the model provider exposes, never hidden raw chain-of-thought. If the provider redacted a summary, the log says so. You can turn summaries off in [Agent settings](https://rogenie.ai/docs/agent-settings#transparency).

## Sub-agents and background analysis

When RoGenie splits work across [sub-agents](https://rogenie.ai/docs/sub-agents), a **Parallel sub-agents** panel shows each one, its role, its progress and its result. **Background script analysis** panels show checks RoGenie runs on scripts in the background. Both are summarized above the message box while they run.

## Cards that need you

Some steps wait for you:

- **Questions.** RoGenie asks a question with options; pick one or type your own answer.
- **Publish approvals.** Before a real upload to Roblox, RoGenie asks for approval. See [Publishing to Roblox](https://rogenie.ai/docs/publishing-approval).
- **Plan approvals.** In [Plan mode](https://rogenie.ai/docs/plan-mode), the plan waits for **Approve & build**.

## How a run ends

The header of each reply shows how the run ended:

| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Working...** | The run is still going. |
| **Worked** | The run finished. |
| **Stopped** | You pressed Stop. Everything that already ran in Studio is kept; nothing was undone. |
| **Interrupted** | The run was cut off before RoGenie saved a final reply, for example by a connection drop or a server restart. The completed work and commentary are kept in the log. |
| **Partly done** | The run ended with an error after doing real work. The completed steps are in your place. |
| **Errored** | The run failed before doing useful work. The card says why and offers **Regenerate** and **Switch model**. |

If a run stopped because your quota ran out, the reply says so and RoGenie can pick up from the place's current state once your quota frees up. See [Quota messages and model errors](https://rogenie.ai/docs/troubleshooting-errors).

## Info: the telemetry of a reply

Click **Info** on a reply to see its telemetry:

| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| provider | Which route answered, shown as *Provider N*. |
| model | The model that ran. |
| mode, effective_mode | The pacing mode asked for and the one used. |
| prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, reasoning_tokens, total_tokens | Token counts. For a run with several model calls, the total covers the whole run. |
| quota_billable_tokens | What your quota counted for the run, after the model's multiplier. |
| model_calls | How many model calls the run made. |
| context_used_tokens | How much chat memory the last call used. |
| thinking_budget, max_output_tokens, temperature | Generation settings. |

## Notifications and sounds

RoGenie can play a short sound when a reply finishes and show toasts when Studio or the connection connects or disconnects. Both are switches in **Settings › Appearance › Effects and sounds**.
