How can I prevent a transport order from being automatically marked as completed once it reaches its destination, so that the vehicle can only proceed to the next task after I manually confirm completion? I have a scenario where the vehicle should only be released for the next task after manual confirmation.

There is no built-in explicit support for requiring a manual confirmation within openTCS. Manual confirmations can indeed often be required, e.g. in production plants. But there the confirmation is usually given on the vehicle side, i.e. someone pushes a button on the vehicle to indicate the operation has been finished. The vehicle doesn't report its destination operation as finished before someone does that.

If you have a use case that really requires a confirmation on the fleet management side, a description of that use case might help.

You can achieve the effect of making a vehicle wait by using an OrderSequence.
First, create a sequence via the API, for example with the name s1.
Then, assign the first TransportOrder (t1) to that sequence (sequence = s1). After the vehicle finishes t1, it will stay in place and will not receive any other TransportOrder until your manual confirmation is completed.

When you want to release the vehicle, simply call the Sequence complete API. The vehicle will then start receiving other tasks, or you can make the same vehicle continue with another order (t2). In that case, just assign t2 to the same sequence (s1) via the API, and it will execute t2 right after.
