# Automation - New Runtime

A New Runtime topic hub collecting signals, patterns, field notes, and public sources about automation.

## Short Answer

- Automation is tracked here as an evidence-linked topic, not as a static glossary entry.
- The page connects raw observations to pattern hypotheses, longer analysis, and public sources.
- Use it as the canonical landing page before drilling into individual records.

## Patterns

- [Goal-scoped loops replace manual continuation](https://newruntime.com/patterns/goal-scoped-loops-replace-manual-continuation/): An autonomous loop becomes operationally useful when completion is an external contract rather than a model's subjective decision to stop.
