Interactive Replies
Sometimes Bom stops and waits instead of guessing. That pause is the interactive reply flow.
Waiting for Approval
When Bom needs a decision, a missing detail, or permission to continue, the run can move into a waiting-for-approval state instead of continuing automatically.
Reply in the Same Thread
Answer in the same Worker thread with the missing information or the decision you want Bom to take. Bom resumes from that thread context.
Tip
You do not need to create a new thread just to answer a follow-up question. Keep the reply in the same thread so Bom retains the run context.
Confirmation Dialogs
Some desktop actions also use explicit confirmation dialogs before potentially destructive changes. In those cases you will see a confirm-or-cancel choice before Bom proceeds.
