# SG-15 — A run reports the identifier of the run it created

*RT-SG (Part II) · level: core · profiles: runtime, editor-client · added in 1.0*

## The rule

> **Normative.** This is the rule.
>
> 1. The execution identifier a run reports is the identifier of the run record the engine created, and it replaces any identifier the caller supplied.
>
> 2. That identifier is the one a client polls for the run's progress, and the progress it returns is keyed by the node identifiers the author drew.
>
> 3. An engine that reported a synthetic identifier of its own, or echoed back the caller's, would leave every poll unanswered and freeze the client at idle.
