completionMode

completionMode refers to a setting or parameter that dictates how a process or task is considered finished. Different completion modes offer flexibility in defining success criteria.

One common mode is "automatic" or "success-based" completion. In this mode, a process is considered complete once it has successfully executed all its intended steps without encountering errors. This is often the default mode for many operations.

Another mode might be "manual" completion. Here, the user or an external system must explicitly signal the completion of the task. This is useful for processes that require human oversight or interaction to confirm successful execution.

A "timeout" completion mode is also possible, where a process is deemed complete (either successfully or unsuccessfully) after a predefined period has elapsed, regardless of whether all steps have been executed. This prevents processes from running indefinitely.

Some systems might offer a "conditional" completion mode. This mode allows for completion based on a set of specific conditions being met, which may not necessarily involve the successful execution of all steps. For example, a task might be considered complete if a certain output is generated, even if intermediate steps failed.

The choice of completionMode depends on the specific requirements of the application or system. Understanding these modes is crucial for managing workflows and ensuring processes terminate as expected.
