# End a run

> Ends a run the calling runner key holds. With `ended`, the run is Found when its agent reported an issue, Nothing to do when it reported that it found nothing, and Failed when it reported neither. With `timed_out` or `failed` the run is Failed and files nothing, not even an issue it reported. When a run is Found, the gateway asks the dashboard to file its issues.

    The OuterLayer Gateway API lets you ingest coding-agent sessions and record
    evidence of work programmatically.


    Most teams reach it through the `outerlayer` CLI, which calls it for them.

    Call it directly to build your own integration or to automate what the
    dashboard does.


    Versioning: every endpoint is prefixed with `/v1/`. Breaking changes ship
    under a new version prefix (`/v2/`, etc.) with a 90-day-minimum deprecation
    window; anything additive lands on the current prefix.


    Vocabulary: the dashboard calls this API's `app` a **factory** — the unit
    that owns a set of repositories, the agent sessions worked on them, and the
    evidence they produce. They are the same entity. The API keeps `app` in its
    paths, headers, and field names because those are a published contract; only
    the product surface was renamed.
