# OCX-4 — External invocation honours the configured pipeline identity and mode

*RT-OCX (Part II) · level: extended · profiles: runtime · added in 1.0*

## The rule

> **Normative.** This is the rule.
>
> 1. An externally invoked run resolves its pipeline identifier and pipeline mode from the trigger's orchestrator settings, exactly as every other trigger kind does.
>
> 2. It must not construct an identifier of its own, which silently discards reuse and singleton modes.
