What did the operator actually see in the last interruption, Grace, and what could the saved job state tell you?
Why does our FR5 handover make every empty pocket my problem?

Empty pocket on the tray. Display still showed the polymer block's transfer as active. I couldn't tell them whether placement had completed before the stop.
7 pointsThat's more than a missing training page. The agreed response has to handle uncertainty, not teach people to call an empty pocket proof of what happened
17 pointsOur walkthrough found a missing contact even after the software states were explained. Include who decides an unresolved case. The covering person shouldn't have to guess which engineer happens to remember that particular tray.
21 pointsAsk the integrator to identify the retained tray, pocket and attempt information before anyone writes a restart instruction from the visible gap
12 pointsAda, did your covering operator find the state itself clearly, or did they need somebody pointing at the right screen first?
24 pointsThey found known empty correctly. The unresolved case was where our contact information failed. That's why I wouldn't test only whether someone can read the labels; give them a case and see where they go next.
14 pointsThanks, Ada. Finding the right person is an observable test too, not just something to put at the bottom of a page
14 pointsIntegrator confirms the interrupted attempt stays unresolved. Tray identity is retained. We're writing separate examples for known empty, known completed and unresolved, with the shift lead owning escalation.
12 pointsHas the shift lead agreed the actual reconciliation decision, or only agreed to receive the call?
2 pointsOnly the call so far. You're right to ask. I've arranged the walkthrough with the lead and integrator together; I'm not filling that gap myself.
21 pointsAnd Grace, use that actual interrupted example first so the explanation has to answer the question your operator was stuck with
21 pointsWalkthrough found the lead's decision needed a part-location check that our draft never mentioned. Integrator and lead have agreed the response. We haven't rehearsed it with the covering operator yet.
19 pointsLet the covering operator try without you narrating. We nearly missed our contact problem because I kept helpfully supplying the answer. Helpful for the conversation, useless for finding the missing instruction.
9 pointsWill the revised handover show the unresolved example next to startup, where people actually look, rather than buried in a separate troubleshooting document?
