Running a flow and watching live step-by-step progress
When you run a flow, HIIE streams its progress live so you can watch each step execute in order rather than waiting for a single final result.
How a run starts
A flow runs by streaming from the project's flow-run endpoint. You can run either a flow definition you've saved (from the form, "Make it for me," or the node editor) or a built-in flow template by its id. The simplest way to kick one off is the Run button — for example, the one-click Run that appears on a flow Camelia designs for you via a [[FLOW]] directive.
Watching live progress
As the flow executes, progress streams in step by step. The runner walks the DAG in dependency order, and because each step's output is fed forward as context to the steps that depend on it, you can follow how earlier work informs later work as it happens.
What gets produced
Along the way, steps can save artifacts — encrypted, smart-labeled files written into your project folders. Role steps produce labeled documents (Research, Analysis, Design, Spec, Legal, Manufacturing) and MCP steps produce "Integration" artifacts. When the run completes, one run record is persisted into the project's Flows folder.
After it finishes
The completed run shows up in the project's run history, where running flows are pinned to the top and finished ones are listed newest-first. From there you can expand any run to see its per-step outputs and the artifacts it saved. If a step needed external write access through an integration, an approval gate may have appeared during the run for you to confirm before that action ran.
