Understand execution options by device, check node availability and respond to confirmation requests.

Select an available execution option in the conversation. Where workspace data is stored and where a task runs are separate choices.
| Option | Requirements | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| DraPub Cloud | Connection, valid account and available service allowance | Uses the context supplied to the task; check usage records for charges |
| Desktop-local execution | Desktop app and an available local provider | Local tools may still call online models; device sleep affects work |
| Registered remote node | An online node and permission to use it | Runs on that device, not inside the browser or phone |
Desktop can discover tools such as Codex, Claude Code and Qoder. Use the options actually discovered and enabled. Web and mobile do not start desktop runtimes inside the browser or phone.
Waiting means the task has not started. Running means it is processing. Waiting for confirmation needs a response to the current card. Inspect outputs after completion; read the error before retrying a failure.
An online node does not guarantee valid model credentials, allowance or every tool permission. Check with a small task first.
Read the object and scope before allowing, declining or supplying information. A decision on an old request does not authorize a later task. Reopen the conversation to refresh expired cards.
Check the references supplied to a private task. Local storage does not make every processing step offline. See Troubleshooting.
Q: Why can an online remote node still fail a task?
**A: ** Online status only confirms the connection. Check model sign-in, quota, tool permissions, and task errors, then verify execution with a small task.
Q: Can desktop local execution work entirely offline?
**A: ** That depends on the selected tool. A local tool may call an online model, and cloud services or platform actions still need a network connection. Computer sleep can also affect running tasks.
