Pause an agent
Pause an agent that needs follow-up, including your own Claude Code or Codex, and know what the status change covers. The pause and the actions around it stay on the activity trail an auditor reads.
Pausing
Find the agent on the live list — the Fleet screen — and pause it. Its status changes to paused, and everyone looking at the list sees that status next to the agent’s name and owner.
Actions already in progress
Pause is a status change in Deixic. It does not stop an action already in progress; the activity timeline shows what actually ran. An action that needs sign-off keeps waiting for a person whether the agent is paused or online.
