I think it is a little design weakness of XEP-0050: Ad-Hoc Commands that we have 'next' and 'execute'. It appears the whole protocol would be much simpler and less confusing if we just had 'execute'. But this is unlikely to change ever. So here is how I understand it: - 'execute' always gets you into the next stage, and iff 'next' is an allowed action, then 'execute' is equivalent to 'next', or otherwise it is equivalent to 'complete'.
