Great. Got some idea about reporting as asynchronous notification. I am not used to the terminology yet.. so when a promise is repaired, it keeps the promise; otherwise it fails to. What's the recommended way to get notified about the status? Is it proper to treat agents as failing to keep its promises until it repairs, when it notifies about the repair.
