Unattended playback removes the person who would normally notice a wrong dialog or delayed page.
Use a departure checklist
Confirm the starting screen, permissions, power, timing, stop path, run limit, test data, output check, and absence of consequential actions.
Require three clean cycles
Use a written checklist and watch at least three consecutive MacroLoop cycles. Set a finite batch and record what evidence will prove the target task actually completed.
- Mac awake, powered, and unlocked
- Correct app, account, window, and starting page
- Finite count and conservative timing
- Stop shortcut rehearsed
- Result can be checked directly
Exclude high-consequence actions
Do not leave messaging, purchases, refunds, deletion, access changes, legal acceptance, or customer-data decisions unattended.
THE TAKEAWAY
Unattended automation should be bounded, reversible, and independently verifiable.
