Approvals and Backstage
Stay in control when a folk asks, requests access, or does risky work.
OpenFolks turns structured engine events into conversation cards. Questions, choices, permission requests, tool activity, and failures stay on the task that produced them.
Approval cards
When an engine supports approvals, the request appears in the thread instead of a terminal. Read the action and its scope before you allow it. Denying sends control back so the folk can pick a safer path.
Backstage
Open Backstage when the chat view is not enough. It shows this folk's live turn tape (tools, requests, errors) and the engine protocol recorded for the thread.
When a run drops
OpenFolks retries transient stream failures. If retries end in an authentication or configuration error, fix the engine rather than hammering the task. See Engine troubleshooting.
