# ReconcileOutcome

> What a `reconcile` hook may answer about an effect key (SPEC-v0.2 §2).

`ctrlrun.ReconcileOutcome` — attribute, defined at `src/ctrlrun/effect.py:45`

```python theme={null}
from ctrlrun import ReconcileOutcome
```

```python theme={null}
ReconcileOutcome
```

What a `reconcile` hook may answer about an effect key (SPEC-v0.2 §2).

`"committed"` moves the record to `COMMITTED` and a retry is then refused as a duplicate;
`"not_executed"` moves it to `FAILED` and a retry is permitted; `"unknown"` leaves it
`AMBIGUOUS`. A hook moves a record only in the direction its answer points, and is the only
thing besides a human permitted to move one out of `AMBIGUOUS`.
