# ST-8 — An update naming an unknown run registered it rather than dropping it

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

## The rule

> **Normative.** This is the rule.
>
> 1. Retired with the polled status surface.
>
> 2. An update naming an execution or a node it held no record of registered that execution or node instead of discarding the update, so a run started outside the reporting request could still be reported.

*This rule is deprecated. It is kept so it stays citable.*
