Start here: Supervisor

Check permission, review component evidence independently and resolve holds and corrections.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Supervisor

On this page

Start in Oversight with the return or component that needs a decision. Your role records operational permissions, component release, corrections and concern resolution. It also permits floor work, but contributing observations can make you ineligible to release that component yourself.

Establish the source authority

For a return, check the unit, owner reference and permission evidence. Record whether dismantling is supported and whether reuse of the recovered parts is supported. Possession of the returned unit does not establish either permission. Fill missing model identity only from checked evidence, preserving known values.

Review the controlled return category when needed for routing. Keep the original receipt note in context. The category used by approved rules should describe the actual return, rather than being changed merely to reach a preferred route.

Release a component independently

Select the component and its current assessment in Independent component release. Read the checks, supporting evidence, identity, source permission, validity and other holds. A release requires a passing current assessment and an eligible independent supervisor. People who supplied observations, supporting evidence or relevant material contributions cannot approve their own result.

Use the recorded release reason to explain what you checked. Complete the recent second-factor check when requested. A release does not waive a failed permission, expired assessment or open source concern. Follow Review and release a component.

Resolve wider work with evidence

Review pending destination requirements independently of their creator. For identity corrections, use the request and separate approval sequence. For a hold, establish which workflow owns it: an assessment hold cannot be cleared as an ordinary concern.

Open a source concern when the issue may affect related work. Record the exact source record and finding so the affected uses can be blocked and investigated. Restore discrepancies also require witnessed reconciliation rather than assumed moves.

Ask an Author and Reviewer to change engineering templates or reuse rules. Supervisor decisions about actual stock do not replace configuration review. Keep an actionable handover with the unit, component, return visit and evidence references.
