Evidence and limits
Finding: Flexible automation modes create new monitoring demands and failures when operators cannot determine the active mode or its implications.
Impact: Strengthen visible mode, authority, and routing state. Reject hidden transitions among agent or approval modes.
Boundary: Aviation evidence does not prescribe a software interface. Next: which state changes require persistent display and which can remain in trace evidence?
Flags: supervisory-control domain; no current agent trial
Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement
What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
