Leaving a run and breakdown recall

When you come off the run

There are two clean ways to come off a run, and in both, the work you were holding flows straight back to the swarm so no stop is left stranded.

Leaving at end of shift

When you're done for the day, leave the run. Any stop still claimed to you is released and the fleet picks it up. You don't hand off a list to anyone — you just come off, and the remaining work redistributes itself among the machines still out there.

Breakdown recall

If a machine goes down mid-storm, the dispatcher can recall it as a breakdown. That's more than marking you offline: the recall reason is logged, and the work you were carrying immediately flows back to the swarm to be reassigned. Nobody has to re-carve routes over the radio to cover the hole you left.

The fleet self-heals

This is the whole point of swarm dispatch. A breakdown or an early departure is one of the exact moments a static route falls apart — someone has to notice, then manually reassign every stop. With Snowmass, the release and reassignment are automatic and near-instant.

Why it matters

Machines break and shifts end — that's normal. Because your outstanding stops always heal back into the swarm, coming off a run is a clean, safe operation, whether it's planned at the end of your shift or forced by a breakdown at the worst possible moment.
