Post-run image checks now start sooner
Cyberdesk now begins eligible attachment image verification in the background as soon as matching run attachments are saved, so the Running Checks phase can finish much faster.
What changed
Image-based Post-run Checks still appear after the main automation finishes, but Cyberdesk can now start the slow model verification work earlier when the required screenshot attachment is already available.
Runs continue to show the same statuses as before: the UI switches to Running Checks only after main execution completes, then waits for any in-flight check work before choosing the final run status.

Focused actions can skip Post-run Checks after explicit early success
Focused action agents can now call declare_task_succeeded with skip_post_run_checks=True when an explicitly allowed early-success path should not run the workflow's normal Post-run Checks.
What changed
When a focused action is explicitly allowed to end a run early with declare_task_succeeded, it can now include skip_post_run_checks=True for cases where the task was already complete before the normal path produced attachments or output data.
Cyberdesk skips executing the configured Post-run Checks in that special path, records each check as successful with a message explaining why it was skipped, and does not generate a reusable trajectory for the shortcut branch.

Post-run Checks verify workflow results after execution
Workflows can now run verification checks after the main automation finishes, so teams can confirm files, screenshots, and structured output before a run is treated as complete.
What changed
Post-run Checks add workflow-level verification that runs after the main desktop automation steps complete. They are designed for cases where clicking through the UI is not enough and the workflow needs to prove that the expected result exists.
When a run has eligible checks, it can enter Running Checks after the main execution finishes. The final terminal status is decided only after those checks complete.
Initial check types
The first set of checks covers concrete artifacts and structured results.
- Attachment Exists verifies expected exported files, PDFs, CSVs, generated documents, or saved screenshots.
- Image Check uses a model to inspect screenshot attachments against a narrow visual rule.
- Output Data Passes Schema Validation is automatically managed for workflows with output schemas.
- Output Data Check evaluates structured output against a semantic rule when schema shape alone is not enough.
Why it matters
In production workflows, completion and correctness are different things. A report workflow may finish without exporting the PDF. A form workflow may end on the wrong confirmation page. A data extraction workflow may return JSON that has the right shape but is missing the important meaning.
Post-run Checks close that gap by making verification part of the run lifecycle and by storing check results on the run for review, webhooks, and downstream automation.

Get Main Instructions for focused action recovery
Focused action agents can now use Get Main Instructions to recover workflow context when they land in an unexpected state.
What changed
We added Get Main Instructions, a focused action tool that lets an agent reread the main workflow instructions before recovering and continuing a task.
This makes it easier for focused agents to handle unexpected screens or branches without losing the larger workflow context.
