New: Carapace now shows its work before it does the work.

When you describe a workflow to Carapace, it has always known how to build it. What it did not do was show you what it was about to do before it did it.

That changes today.

When you describe a new workflow — or ask Carapace to handle a situation it has not seen before — it now presents you with a set of alternative approaches before touching anything. Each option shows you exactly what it will do, which tools it will interact with, what data it will read and write, and what the outcome will look like. You pick the one that fits how your business works. Then it executes.

Nothing runs until you say so.

This came directly from users who wanted more control at the moment of configuration — not after the fact. The most common request was simple: show me the plan before you run it.

So that is what it does now.

Suggested Alternatives

When you describe a workflow to Carapace, it now presents you with a set of alternative approaches before building anything.

You type what you want. Carapace comes back with two or three ways it could handle it — each one a different balance of aggression, automation, and human involvement. You pick the one that fits how your business works. Then it builds it.

This came from users who found that the first approach Carapace suggested was not always the right one for their specific situation. A collections escalation that works for one business is too aggressive for another. Now you choose upfront rather than editing after the fact.

Execution plan review

For any multi-step workflow, Carapace now shows you the complete execution plan before a single action runs.

Every step. Every tool it will interact with. Every piece of data it will read and write. The exact sequence it will follow. All of it laid out for you to review and approve before execution begins.

Nothing moves until you confirm.

This is specifically for complex workflows — the ones that touch multiple systems, involve real money, or affect customer relationships. The kind where a mistake is not easily undone.
