### **End Conditions**

The `StartPlannerModule` terminates if the pull out / freespace maneuver has been completed. The `canTransitSuccessState` function assesses these conditions to decide if the module should terminate its execution.
The `StartPlannerModule` terminates when specific conditions are met, depending on the type of planner being used. The `canTransitSuccessState` function determines whether the module should transition to the success state based on the following criteria:

```plantuml
@startuml
start
:Start hasFinishedPullOut();
#### When the Freespace Planner is active

if (status_.driving_forward && status_.found_pull_out_path) then (yes)
- If the end point of the freespace path is reached, the module transitions to the success state.

if (status_.planner_type == FREESPACE) then (yes)
:Calculate distance\nto pull_out_path.end_pose;
if (distance < th_arrived_distance) then (yes)
:return true;\n(Terminate module);
else (no)
:return false;\n(Continue running);
endif
else (no)
:Calculate arclength for\ncurrent_pose and pull_out_path.end_pose;
if (arclength_current - arclength_pull_out_end > offset) then (yes)
:return true;\n(Terminate module);
else (no)
:return false;\n(Continue running);
endif
endif
#### When any other type of planner is active

The transition to the success state is determined by the following conditions:

- If a reverse path is being generated or the search for a pull out path fails:
- The module does not transition to the success state.
- If the end point of the pull out path's shift section is reached:
- The module transitions to the success state.

The flowchart below illustrates the decision-making process in the `canTransitSuccessState` function:

if (driving is forward?) then (yes)
