Glossary

Purpose

This document guarantees definitions of official terms.

Scope

It defines terms used across docs and code.

Core Concepts

• Terms are authoritative and stable.

Invariants

• Each term has a single definition.

Execution

• Intent: fully resolved command with flags and context.
• Policy: output and logging rules derived from precedence.
• ExitIntent: structured exit decision with code and payload.
• Registry: plugin registry storing metadata and states.
• Precedence: ordering rules for configuration resolution.

Failure Modes

• Ambiguous terms must be rewritten, not duplicated.

Design Rationale

• Alternatives: inline definitions in every doc.
• Rejected because they drift.

Non-Goals

• Glossary of external ecosystem terms.
