Human in the loop
Human in the loop means a named person still owns the send, the publish, and the write to a system of record. The agent may draft and propose. It does not get to decide that the draft already shipped. On Agentik that gate is a product rule, not a legal opinion.
Human in the loop sits in the Evaluation & safety part of the Agentik {OS} glossary, which defines the words used to build and run AI agent systems.
