Real-time agent status: what each stage means
Plan, execute, merge, and validate — how to read the live task graph while agents work in parallel.
By The MasterNode Team · Product
Black-box assistants hide everything between send and reply. MasterNode streams task and agent status over WebSockets so you can see planning, execution, and merge as they happen.
Stages you'll see
- Plan — the goal is decomposed into a dependency-aware graph.
- Execute — independent branches run concurrently; blocked tasks wait on upstream output.
- Merge — partial results are combined and conflicts are flagged.
- Validate — grounding and citation checks run before the answer is final.
Why it matters
When a branch stalls, you know which subtask to rephrase or split. When search runs, you see it as a gated tool call — not mystery latency. Transparency is part of trust: you should never wonder what the system did with your prompt.
