overlane run attempt | Overlane Docs

Records how an iteration ended (verified, pending, quota, failed or no_progress) with its time, the share of the usage window it used and, for a failure, the failing command and the end of its output. The service applies the stuck rules (the same failure three times in a row, or three iterations with no progress) and the per-task ceilings (attempts, minutes, usage window share). A held task prints STOP stuck or STOP ceiling: take the next task. Report after the task’s lease is released.

Usage

overlane run attempt --task TASK_ID --executor claude-code|codex|gemini-cli|cursor --outcome verified|pending|quota|failed|no_progress --started TIME [--ended TIME] [--spend PERCENT] [--command COMMAND] [--output-file PATH] [--commit SHA] [--resets-at TIME] [--dry-run]

Flags

Flag	Type	Required	Description
`--task`	string	yes	The task the iteration worked on
`--executor`	one of `claude-code`, `codex`, `gemini-cli`, `cursor`	yes	Which agent ran the iteration
`--outcome`	one of `verified`, `pending`, `quota`, `failed`, `no_progress`	yes	How the iteration ended
`--started`	string	yes	When it started: an ISO time or a span back from now such as 40m
`--ended`	string	no	When it ended (default: now)
`--spend`	string	no	Percentage points of the usage window it used, as the client reported (default: 0)
`--command`	string	no	The verification command that failed
`--output-file`	string	no	A file holding the failing output; its last 64 KB is sent
`--commit`	string	no	The commit the iteration ended on
`--resets-at`	string	no	For a quota stop: when the client says its window resets
`--dry-run`	boolean	no	Print the requests and file changes this command would make, then stop. Needs no credentials.

Examples

overlane run attempt --task T3 --executor codex --outcome failed --started 40m --command 'pnpm -r test' --output-file .overlane/state/last-test.log

Behavior

Effect: write (changes local or hosted state).
Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
Supports --dry-run: yes. Accepts --force: no.
Machine-readable description: overlane schema run attempt.

Result

With --json (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema’s shape on stdout.
