The Run outputs table listed only the four outputs you look at on the task page. The one output a later step can consume wasn't documented anywhere: the agent's response, which the step sets as an output variable named Octopus.Action.Claude.Response.

  • Adds a Response row to the table, and fixes the lead-in that claimed every output appears on the task page.
  • Adds a short section giving the cross-step reference in full, and noting that the repeated Octopus.Action.Claude. segment is part of the variable's name rather than a typo.

Please check one claim: the page says the variable holds everything the agent said across every turn, not just its final message. That comes from reading ClaudeCodeStreamProcessor, not from watching a real multi-turn run.

The Run outputs table covered only what you look at on the task page, so
the one output a later step can consume went unmentioned. Add it, and spell
out the cross-step reference in full.
