# Root DEFER Propagation (3-Level Chain)
Root of a 3-level DEFER propagation chain. Two DEFER substeps: 1.1
delegates to the child runbook (which in turn delegates to the
grandchild), 1.2 runs locally. Each level's aggregated COMPLETE feeds
the next level up's DEFER.
## 1. Root work
- PASS ALL COMPLETE
- FAIL ANY STOP
### 1.1 Delegated child task
Delegated to the child runbook.
- nested-runbook-defer-propagation-child.runbook.md
### 1.2 Local root task
```bash
rd echo "root local"
``` Run
Root delegates to child which delegates to grandchild; DEFER aggregation fires at every level; final terminal is COMPLETE at root
