Every automated action needs an owner after failure

Automation demos end at the click. Real operations begin when the click partially succeeds.

If an agent creates a record, sends a request, updates permissions, or starts a job and then loses context, who owns the next step? A human needs an exact action log, current external state, safe retry behavior, and a clear answer to whether repeating the action will duplicate anything.

“Agent failed” is not a handoff.
