# Substep Explicit DEFER

Substeps under aggregation default to DEFER. These two forms are equivalent:
- Bare substep (no transitions) — implicit DEFER
- Explicit `- PASS: DEFER` / `- FAIL: DEFER`

## 1. Validate

- PASS ALL: COMPLETE
- FAIL ANY: STOP

### 1.1 First check

- PASS: DEFER
- FAIL: DEFER

```bash
rd echo "first"
```

### 1.2 Second check (implicit DEFER — equivalent)

```bash
rd echo "second"
```

Run

Select Scenario

Both substeps DEFER, parent PASS ALL fires COMPLETE
