var design_default = "# Designing an app\n\nStart here to build an app. This page is the method and the choice of treatment for each thing a job\nreads; every key it names is a key of `model.json`, and the page of the `model` reference stating a\ntreatment's keys stands beside it in \xA7 Treatments. A treatment worked through in an app of a complete model\nis a page at `examples/<treatment>` \u2014 `lotics docs`, or the `docs` tool.\n\nA model states COMPOSITION \u2014 which fields, lists and acts each job's screen holds. How each piece looks is\nthe platform's, one way per concept, and no key changes it. What the model leaves unnamed is never drawn,\nand a list the model leaves as a table is drawn as one, even where a calendar, a face or a picture would\nanswer the reader at a glance. That is the most common failure of a model, so the apply refuses an app leaving\nout a treatment it requires \u2014 a register's readings, a record's sections and children, its status moves, a picture,\nrows in time, a template's act \u2014 until the model states it or declines it.\n\n## The method\n\n1. **People and jobs, before any table.** Name each person by the work they do, then each JOB in one\n sentence: who does it, what exists when it is done, the record it moves. The sentence is the app's\n `name` and `description`. One app per job, each one register over one entity \u2014 an app per table, or one\n app holding every table, is no job's screen.\n2. **The entities the jobs touch.** A status is a state the work sits in, six options or fewer: a touch\n (\"called\") is a row of a log, a money fact (\"paid in full\") a formula the figure shows. A quantity is a\n number with its `unit`, never words in a text field; a quantity of several kinds is child rows, one per\n kind, totalled at the foot of their block.\n3. **How each row is recognised** \u2014 a `records` entry for every entity an app lists, opens or picks: its\n `title` (who or what it is, never a code \u2014 the code is a `subtitle`), up to two `subtitle` fields the job\n reads at first glance, its `image`, its `party`, its `status` and which options are `closed`, its\n `figure`, its `due` dates.\n4. **Each app's composition** \u2014 the register's `columns` in the order the job reads them, as many as fit a\n desk (one that does not fit is drawn nowhere in the row; what is read only on the way deeper is the\n record's), the `filters` it narrows by every day (at most 3, each a field the rows show), its `layout`\n and `readings`; the record's `sections` in the order the work reaches them, each one's `fields`, `blocks`\n and `acts`; the `checks` that warn or refuse. A rule the business states \u2014 a field needed before an act,\n a quantity bounded, a picker narrowed, a duplicate reused \u2014 is the model's (an act's `requires`, a check's\n `blocks`, `write_rules`), and every write re-checks it; a check without `blocks` only warns.\n5. **A treatment for every list and every entity** \u2014 the next section. Choose it from what the rows ARE,\n before writing any register.\n6. **Plan, apply, look.** The `apply_model` tool (`lotics model apply` on the CLI) with `plan` checks the\n whole model beside the workspace's rows and writes nothing \u2014 the patch adopting each app's decisions in\n `designs`, and the app's body as they leave it its `draft`; without it, it mints each app live. Then look at each app \u2014\n \xA7 Look at it \u2014 and judge it against \xA7 The visual bar. A correction is a change to the model, applied again.\n\n## Treatments\n\nA finding naming a section below is a treatment the model left out. A decided one refuses the apply, and the\ncheck gives each app it refuses a patch stating its decided treatments: merge the patches in the order the check gives\nthem, or state why the app stays as it is in its `declines` (`model/declines`), under the key the finding names \u2014\nthen check again. A note refuses nothing.\n\n| The rows are | The treatment | Its keys |\n|---|---|---|\n| People or organisations | `records.<entity>.party`, with a photo or logo as its `image` | `model/records` |\n| Things with a photo, a scan or a paper | `records.<entity>.image`; `layout: \"cards\"` where the picture is how a row is found | `model/records`, `model/cards` |\n| Read by their day | `layout: \"calendar\"`; on a record, an `agenda` block | `model/calendar`, `model/blocks` |\n| Booked on a resource | `layout: \"lanes\"` with `lanes`, and `write_rules` `no_overlap` | `model/lanes`, `model/write-rules` |\n| A plan of spans | `layout: \"gantt\"` with `gantt` | `model/gantt` |\n| Who did what on which day | `layout: \"roster\"` with `roster` | `model/roster` |\n| A log of what happened | a `timeline` block | `model/blocks` |\n| Opened to be worked on | the record's `sections`, in the order the work reaches them \u2014 `at` where it moves in steps | `model/record-page` |\n| Rows that each belong to another row | a `rows` block on that row's record | `model/blocks` |\n| Moving through a status | an act per move, `status.history`, and the register's `readings` | `model/acts`, `model/records`, `model/readings` |\n| Counted over a period | the register's `tabs` over one `period`; an `open` tab's `where` reads only what was true at the period's end, never a status the row moves on from | `model/tabs` |\n| Papers a case gathers | a rows block with `expect`; the papers made, an act's `templates` | `model/blocks`, `model/acts` |\n| Papers to read | an act's `intake` with `fills` | `model/acts` |\n| Calls and visits | an act's `record` | `model/acts` |\n| Documents covering lines | a rows block with `under` | `model/blocks` |\n| Rows on file a record takes in | a rows block with `pick` | `model/blocks` |\n| One owner's question across jobs | a dashboard app | `model/dashboards` |\n\n### Faces and pictures\n\n#### Party\n\n`records.<entity>.party` is `\"person\"` where the rows are people (a contact, a patient, a driver) and\n`\"organization\"` where they are companies (a customer, a supplier, a carrier). Every surface drawing one of\nits rows \u2014 the register's row, a link's chip, a picker's option, the record's header \u2014 then draws a face:\nits `image` (a photo, a logo), else its initials. Without it, a person is drawn as a thing. A workspace\nmember is a `select_member` field, and is drawn by their face already. Worked: `examples/party`.\n\n#### Image\n\n`records.<entity>.image` names the files field that pictures a row \u2014 a product's photo, a damage photo, a\nscan, a receipt. Every row of it then leads with its picture, or its paper's preview, wherever it is drawn;\na link to it previews the file. Never a field an act keeps the paper it makes in (`into`). Register\n`layout: \"cards\"` where the picture is how a row is found. A files field the record keeps as a folder of\npapers is a `files` block, read whole. Worked: `examples/cards`.\n\n### Rows in time\n\nRows that each stand on a day, or hold a run of days or hours, are read where they stand in time \u2014 never\nas two date columns. A row holds a span when its `records` line (title and subtitle) holds two dates, its\n`records.frees` names the day it ends, or `write_rules.<entity>.no_overlap` books it on a row its `by` links to (a\nchair, a machine). A `no_overlap` by a person or a value alone keeps one row at a time each \u2014 a member's periods in\nturn \u2014 read by what they hold.\n\n#### Calendar\n\n`register.layout: \"calendar\"`: the rows by their day \u2014 a month, a week, a day or a list; an entry at its\nhour where its date holds one, over its span where its line holds a second date. Worked: `examples/calendar`.\n\n#### Lanes\n\n`register.layout: \"lanes\"` with `lanes` naming a one-row link whose target's rows are the lanes (a chair, a\nmachine, a room), each drawn even when empty: every row a block from the first date on its line to the\nsecond, and a free stretch adds a row there. `loads` reads what a lane carries against what it holds. A\n`no_overlap` `by` the same link refuses two rows on one resource at once. Worked: `examples/lanes`.\n\n#### Gantt\n\n`register.layout: \"gantt\"` with `gantt.start` (and `end`, else the entity's first `due`): one bar a row over\nits run of days \u2014 a shipment, a hire, a task of a project \u2014 read against today. `gantt.milestones` marks\ndates on the bar, `planned` the plan under it, `progress` how far it is done, `after` the rows it waits on;\nthe register's `group` is its lanes. Worked: `examples/gantt`.\n\n#### Roster\n\n`register.layout: \"roster\"` with `roster` naming the child whose rows fill the days \u2014 one link back to the\nregister's entity and a date on its line: what each row did on each day (shifts, runs, attendance). With\n`expect` (and `of`) the columns are the options of a select instead of days: which papers each row holds.\nWorked: `examples/roster`.\n\n#### Agenda\n\nAn `agenda` block on a record: a child's planned entries by day, soonest first, today marked, each with its\npicture; within a day by the hour, or by a single select of the part of the day. `start` counts Day 1 from a\ndate of the record (a trip, a course).\n\n#### Timeline\n\nA `timeline` block on a record: a child read as a log of dated entries, newest first, with a composer \u2014 the\ncalls, visits and notes about the record, each with who and when, and its files where the child's `image`\nnames them. Entries planned ahead are an `agenda`; the status's moves are its history. Worked:\n`examples/party`.\n\n### Moves and numbers\n\n#### Moves\n\nRows a status stages towards its `closed` options move by acts: each moves one option on to the next (`when` the\nstatus holds it, `set` to the next), at the foot of the section whose work it ends. A status with nothing closed is a\ncondition a person sets. A value decided as a row reaches an outcome \u2014 why it was lost, refused, voided \u2014 is that\nact's `asks`, never a field the reader must remember to fill. An act reaching past the workspace \u2014 sending an invoice\nto a service, a letter by mail \u2014 runs its `workflow`, and what the workflow keeps from the answer (an invoice's id,\nits link) is named in `writes`, the act's as what it sets is.\n\n#### History\n\n`records.<entity>.status.history` names a child the app's own writes append one row to per status move: its\nlink to the row, the new status, the moment and who. It keeps when each row entered each status and who\nmoved it; `record.history: true` draws it beside the record where the owner asks for that trail. Worked: `examples/approval`.\n\n#### Readings\n\n`register.readings` stand above the rows and read the rows in view. Lead with the job's headline number \u2014\nits exception as a formula's yes/no in a `metric`'s `where` (what is late, what is short), never a stage the\nstatus chips already count \u2014 then at most the mix (`breakdown`) and the movement (`trend`), varied by job.\nA `pivot` reads on a dashboard. A dashboard app (`dashboard`) answers one owner's question across jobs, each\nreading windowed by the period the reader picks, and a `list` reading hands over the rows to act on. A\nrecord's `metric`, `breakdown` and `trend` blocks read its own child rows. Worked: `examples/approval`, `examples/dashboard`.\n\n### The record\n\n#### Sections\n\n`record.sections`, in the order the work reaches them: the fields people write, a `files` block per paper the record\nkeeps, a block per child, the acts at each one's foot. A register laid out in time (calendar, lanes, roster) opens the\ndefault record: every field a person writes.\n\n#### Children\n\nRows that each belong to one row of another entity (a one-row link to it) are drawn under that row: a `rows` block on\nits record, a `timeline` where they are a log, an `agenda` where they are planned on a day and within it, a roster of\nthem, or lanes of them by that link. Which children a record lists is the author's \u2014 one of them at least. A block\nlisting only some of them narrows by its `where`: a select (one leg's fees), or a yes/no \u2014 a formula's for what is\nstill owed \u2014 on a block that adds no rows. Rows on\nfile before the row they come to belong to \u2014 a job's cost lines before the supplier bill over them \u2014 are picked into\nit: a rows block with `pick`, often with `create: false` and `remove: false`.\n\n### Papers\n\n#### Expect\n\nA rows block with `expect` naming the child's title \u2014 a single select of kinds, or a one-row link to a\ncatalog: one line per kind, the ones not yet filled standing empty, filled in place. `of` narrows the kinds\nto the record's own multi-select of those it needs. The papers a case gathers, the fees a record knows it\nowes. Worked: `examples/case`.\n\n#### Templates\n\nA paper the business makes is an act's `template`, kept in the record's files field `into` \u2014 or several at\nonce, `templates`: listed where the act stands, each made one as its file and each not yet made as a\nplaceholder, the reader ticking which to make. A template no act names is made by nothing. Worked: `examples/case`.\n\n#### Intake\n\nA paper the business is brought and reads is an act's `intake`: the press takes the papers, an agent reads\nthem, and each is filed as the line of its kind in the child the record `expect`s, while `fills` writes what\nthey state into the record's fields \u2014 a single link as a row the agent finds among those the app reads of its\nentity \u2014 shown before it is saved. Worked: `examples/case`.\n\n#### Under\n\nA rows block with `under`: the documents that cover lines (an invoice over its fee lines) stand as headings\nover the lines they cover, and a line no document covers offers to make one. A document entered as it arrives,\nover lines already on file (a supplier bill), picks them from its own record instead: a rows block with `pick`.\nChoose one per document: a document a make covers lines by is never also picked into, since a pick does not check\nwhat the make does.\n\n### Calls\n\n#### Record act\n\nAn act's `record`: the press records a call, visit or meeting \u2014 its audio, its transcript, its screen where\ncaptured \u2014 and files it as a new row of the record's `timeline` child (`into`), stamped `at` and `by`;\n`fills` lets an agent fill that row's fields from the transcript. Worked: `examples/calls`.\n\n## The visual bar\n\n- A person shows a face, a thing its picture, a file its preview, a plan its days on a time axis, a\n quantity a meter (`records.limits`) or a chart, a register its `readings` under its title, and long text\n reads whole (a `text` block).\n- Every category the job reads is coloured: each select option's `color`, and a `mark` where a brand or a\n glyph names it \u2014 on every option of a select read down a column (how it was paid, the channel, the mode).\n- Every files field is drawn somewhere \u2014 a section's `fields`, a `files` block, the `image`, or where the\n act making it stands.\n- The paperwork is the proof of the work, so every paper the job takes in and every document it issues has a\n place on the record, in the section where that work happens: a files field per purpose (what arrived, what\n was issued to the customer, to the carrier, to the authority), each kept visible after the stage that made it,\n and a source \u2014 a screenshot, an email, a sheet \u2014 on the row whose figure came from it.\n- A screen with none of these is bland, and bland is a finding: text drawn where a treatment above exists\n is a change to the model.\n\n## Look at it\n\nAfter an apply, the `screenshot_app` tool draws each app as its people see it \u2014 the register, and a record\nby its `path` \u2014 at a desk's width and a phone's. Beside the shots, its `verdict` is what a plan of the workspace's\nmodel finds of the app now, beside its rows: what the next apply would refuse it for and the notes on it, the\n`patch` adopting the decisions among them, and the app's body as the patch leaves it (`draft`). Judge each shot\nagainst \xA7 The visual bar, change the model, and apply again. The `rollback_app` tool returns an app to an earlier\nversion; the tables and rows stay as they are.\n";

var model_reference_default = '# The Lotics workspace model (`model.json`)\n\nOne JSON file describing a workspace: its tables, fields, options, views, roles,\nfirst rows, how a row of each table is recognised, and the apps over them. Each \xA7\nis its own page at `model/<section>` \u2014 `lotics docs`, or the `docs` tool. Which treatment each job\'s\nscreen needs: the `design` reference. Each treatment worked through in an app of a complete model: the\n`examples` reference.\n\n**What a model composes with**\n\n- **Entities and fields** (\xA7 Entity, \xA7 Field) \u2014 the tables, their columns, options and links.\n- **Records** (\xA7 Records) \u2014 how a row of each entity is RECOGNISED: its title, the line\n under it, its picture, its status, the one number it stands for. Stated once per entity\n and read by every surface that draws one of its rows.\n- **Write rules** (\xA7 Write rules) \u2014 what a write finds, copies, bounds and picks among.\n- **Apps** (\xA7 Apps, then a page each: \xA7 Register, \xA7 Layouts, \xA7 Tabs, \xA7 Export, \xA7 Readings,\n \xA7 Dashboards, \xA7 Record page, \xA7 Blocks, \xA7 Reading blocks, \xA7 Tasks, \xA7 Acts, \xA7 Checks) \u2014 one\n register over one entity and the record each row opens: which fields go where, the acts,\n and the checks that guard them \u2014 or a dashboard of readings.\n How each thing LOOKS is the runtime\'s, one treatment per concept; no key here changes it.\n A screen the job needs and no key states is a `lotics report` \u2014 the job, what the model\n drew, the word wanted \u2014 never keys bent to approximate it.\n\n**The working order**\n\n1. Name the people and each one\'s JOB \u2014 the work they alone decide or write.\n2. The entities and fields those jobs touch, and a `records` entry for every entity an\n app lists, opens or picks.\n3. One app per job in `apps[]`, each one register over one entity.\n4. `lotics model apply model.json` \u2014 the file is checked first, every problem in one run;\n then the tables, then a new version of every app, live\n (`lotics setup model.json --email you@company.com` where no account exists yet).\n5. Change the file and apply it again; `lotics model pull -o model.json` writes what the\n workspace holds, and each apply of that file sends only what it changes. `apply_model` takes\n a `patch` in place of `model`: a JSON merge patch (RFC 7396) over the workspace\'s model, each\n list whose items carry an `alias` written as an object keyed by it \u2014\n `{ "apps": { "desk": { "acts": { "close": null } } } }` removes one act. A `null` removes only\n what an apply writes as the model states it \u2014 anything inside an app, a `records` entry\n (`"records": { "<entity>": null }`), a write rule, a field\'s `default` \u2014 and is refused\n anywhere else, a table, field, option, view, role, template or app among them; one naming\n nothing the model holds changes nothing. `get_model` with `app` reads one app and the\n entities it reads.\n Rolling an app back (`lotics run rollback_app`) restores its earlier version \u2014 table\n changes and data writes stay.\n\n## The rules\n\n- **At least one entity, at most 50.** More tables than that is a data model\n being designed, not applied \u2014 apply the rest in a second call.\n- **An existing table is adopted.** `lotics model apply` binds an entity whose `label`\n already names a table in the workspace, and adds the fields, options and\n views it is missing. No stored value is ever changed or deleted: a field it\n adopts takes the model\'s `default`, and the `notation` or date `format` it reads\n in, where that only relabels \u2014 a date\'s format and a unit converting its figures\n are left. A computed field\'s definition follows the model: a formula\'s expression,\n notation and options, a rollup\'s link, aggregation and filter, a\n lookup\'s link, field and order, and an autonumber\'s `template` (new rows only \u2014\n existing numbers keep theirs). `--plan` and the apply name each one that changes.\n Applying the same model twice changes nothing the second time.\n- **Renaming a field is `lotics run update_table`**, then the same label in this\n file; a table is deleted on the CLI by `lotics run delete_table`, or by a member\n in Lotics. Neither goes through the file (\xA7 What a run remembers).\n- **The file\'s own majority is the language.** A model names no locale \u2014 which\n language it is in is what it mostly says, and `model apply` notes the label\n written the other way. The generated screens read the kit\'s pack, and a\n generated WRITE cannot: its refusals run on the server, so they are worded in\n that same majority. Mix the two and the workspace answers in two languages.\n- **Rows land only where every bound table is empty.** One table already holding\n records and no rows are written anywhere: sample rows landing among a\n customer\'s real ones cannot be told apart from them.\n- **`lotics model apply` checks all of it before anything is written**, and\n reports every problem in one run rather than the first. Each section of this\n page ends its keys with the rules the check enforces there, one sentence each\n under an id; a finding names its rule\'s id (`[register.filter]`), and\n `model/<rule id>` is that one rule\'s page.\n\n<!-- generated:start rules-model -->\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `model.schema` | Every key is one its table lists, holding the type its row gives, and every required key is stated. |\n| `model.retired` | `field_roles`, `table_workflows` and `connections` are no longer part of a model: `records` states how a row is recognised, and an app\'s own writes do what a table automation did. |\n| `model.names-declared` | Every alias a key names is declared: an entity of this model, a field of the entity the key reads, an option of the select it names, an act of the app, a template or an app of this model. |\n| `model.tables` | A model declares at least one table and at most 50; apply the rest as a second model. |\n| `model.rows-cap` | Rows are a sample: at most 200 per entity, 2000 per model and 2000 documents attached \u2014 a real data set belongs in an import. |\n| `model.language` | *Noted, never refused:* A label or description written in the other language than the model\'s majority \u2014 with or without diacritics. |\n| `model.alias-unique` | An alias is unique where it is named: entities, roles and templates in the model, fields and views in their entity, options in their select. |\n| `model.label-unique` | A label is unique where apply finds it by label: entities, roles and templates in the model, fields and views in their entity, options in their select \u2014 and no view takes its entity\'s own label, which names the whole-table grid apply makes. |\n| `model.template-sha` | A template\'s `content_sha256`, where stated, is the 64-character lowercase hex sha256 of its content. |\n| `model.template-kind` | An act\'s paper and a register\'s `export` are made from an html or an excel template, never an email one. |\n| `model.template-act` | *Refused until adopted or declined:* In a model stating apps none of whose acts runs an authored `workflow`, every html or excel template is made by an act (`template`, `templates`) or filled by a register\'s `export` \u2014 the patch adds the act to the app over the entity whose fields it prints most. |\n| `model.filter` | A filter \u2014 a view\'s, a rollup\'s \u2014 tests fields of the entity it reads, through links as `entity.field` hops each standing on the entity the last lands on, by options its select declares. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-model -->\n\n## Top level\n\nEvery table of keys on this page is generated from the schema `model apply`\nparses the file with, so it is the whole of what a key may hold.\n\n<!-- generated:start top-level -->\n\n#### Model file\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `entities` | list of [Entity](#entity) | yes | The tables this model creates, with their fields, options and views |\n| `roles` | list of [Role](#role) | no | Workspace groups to create; members are added to them afterwards |\n| `templates` | list of [Template](#template) | no | Document templates: html and email inline, excel made from an uploaded workbook |\n| `rows` | map of alias \u2192 list of [Row](#row) | no | First records, keyed by entity alias \u2014 written only where every table they land in is empty |\n| `records` | map of alias \u2192 [Record](#record) \\| `null` | no | How a row of each entity is recognised, keyed by entity alias.

An unknown top-level key is an error, never ignored.\n\n### Aliases\n\nEvery `alias` is a lowercase slug \u2014 a letter, then letters, digits and\nunderscores (`unit_price`, `so_1001`). Aliases are how the file cross-references\nitself; they are never shown to anyone. `label` is what a person sees.\n\nLabels must be unique within their namespace \u2014 two entities, two fields on one\nentity, two options on one field, two views on one entity, two roles or two\ntemplates cannot share a label, because `apply` matches by label.\n\n## Entity\n\n<!-- generated:start entity -->\n\n#### Entity\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `alias` | alias | yes | Stable entity alias, unique within the contract |\n| `label` | text | yes | The table\'s name in the workspace, which apply names it |\n| `singular` | text | no | One row of this table, in the business\'s own words \u2014 what a create\'s button and panel name |\n| `description` | text | no | The table\'s description, written onto the table in the workspace |\n| `writes` | `false` | no | false: no app opens or edits this table\'s rows.

Absent, every member with access to the table reads every row. |\n| `unique` | list of list of alias (at least one) (at least one) | no | Sets of fields whose values no two live rows share \u2014 each a list of field aliases (text, number, date, a single select, or a link of cardinality "one"). A create or update landing a second row with the same values is refused. |\n| `views` | list of [View](#view) | no | Saved views, in the order they are listed; with none, the table still opens on its default grid |\n\n#### Read scope\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `any` | list of ([Read scope by role](#read-scope-by-role) \\| [Read scope by member](#read-scope-by-member) \\| [Read scope by option](#read-scope-by-option)) (at least one) | yes | A row is readable when ANY of these holds |\n\n#### Read scope by role\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `member_of` | alias | yes | A role alias: whoever is in the group it binds to reads the row |\n\n#### Read scope by member\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `through` | list of alias (1\u20133) | no | select_record_link aliases from this entity outward, each of cardinality "one" \u2014 the clause\'s field is on the entity the last hop lands on |\n| `field` | alias | yes | A select_member field alias on this entity, or on the entity `through` lands on |\n| `is` | `"self"` | yes | The members this column names on a row read that row |\n\n#### Read scope by option\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `through` | list of alias (1\u20133) | no | select_record_link aliases from this entity outward, each of cardinality "one" \u2014 the clause\'s field is on the entity the last hop lands on |\n| `field` | alias | yes | A single-select field alias on this entity, or on the entity `through` lands on |\n| `is` | list of alias (at least one) | yes | Its option aliases whose rows are readable \u2014 naming none would hide every row |\n\n<!-- generated:end entity -->\n\n<!-- generated:start rules-entity -->\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `entity.singular` | An entity a create is mounted over \u2014 a register that adds, a rows block \u2014 states its `singular`: one row of it, in the business\'s words. |\n| `entity.required-cycle` | Required links never wait on each other in a loop: no row of the loop could be created first. |\n| `entity.link-format` | A text field of `format: "link"` holds web addresses; one whose rows hold a phone or a mail address states no format. |\n| `entity.read-scope` | A `read_scope` clause names a declared role (`member_of`) or a field of its entity reached through one-row links: `"self"` a member field, options a single select declares. |\n| `entity.unique` | A `unique` set names two fields or more of its entity once each, each holding one value to compare \u2014 text, a number, a date, a single select, a one-row link \u2014 and is stated once; one field alone is `unique: true` on it. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-entity -->\n\n**`unique` is a set of values no two live rows share.** Each entry names fields\nof this entity holding ONE value \u2014 text, number, date, a single select, a link\nof cardinality `"one"` \u2014 and a create or update landing a second row with the\nsame values is refused. A set of one text field is that field\'s own `unique:\ntrue`, so it is refused here. A create carries each set in the names its panel\nsends, so the panel can name the duplicate before the write does.\n\n**`singular` is what a create says** \u2014 `New Order`, `Add Claim line`, `H\u1ED3 s\u01A1\nm\u1EDBi` \u2014 while `label` names the table, so without it the button reads `New\nOrders`. Nothing derives it: English plurals are irregular, and no language is\nexempt. In a language without plural forms it is usually the label itself,\nless any word for the collection. `model apply` REFUSES a model where a table\nsome create opens \u2014 a register\'s own, or a record section\'s add \u2014 states none.\n\n**`writes: false` says no app opens, edits or files these rows** \u2014 a log of what\nthe system sent, a copy of what another system holds. A record listing them\nkeeps the section and opens each row at rest, with no Add; a screen over the\nentity operates at most the rows its record owns; a party of it is picked, never\nfound or minted; and the generator writes no create and no update for it, and\nnever notes it as created nowhere. It shapes the apps, not who may write: a\ndirect write \u2014 the records API, the chat agent, an import \u2014 follows the table\'s\naccess, as on any table. A `lifecycle` on it is refused \u2014 a row walked\nthrough stages is worked by a person \u2014 and so is a publish desk over it. Absent,\napps open and edit the rows; `true` is not a value.\n\n**`read_scope` is a ROW rule, enforced by the platform.** It is resolved at\napply into the table\'s own row filters, so an app, a workflow reading for a\nviewer, and the API all answer the same rows \u2014 a per-record visibility field the\napp merely honours is a convention, not a gate. A `"self"` clause reads a column\nof one member or several, and every role alias and option alias a clause names\nmust be one this model declares. `apply` writes the rule onto a table it\nCREATES; a table it adopted that ALREADY CARRIES a rule keeps that one, because\nthe rule is the workspace\'s own statement about its rows \u2014 and a run whose model\nstates a different rule reports the entity rather than leaving the claim silent.\n\n**An app may state that its sharing is its read gate: `"reads": "shared"`.** An\napp reads as its owner, so the rule reaches a viewer only as the predicate every\nquery and editor guard of every app over the entity carries \u2014 right for a desk of\none\'s own rows, wrong for a desk whose audience its sharing already decides, where\nwidening the rule meant a role group nobody remembers to fill. Stated on an APP,\nits queries, pickers and guards carry no entity\'s rule and whoever the app is\nshared with reads and writes every row it draws; every other app and the table\'s\nown filters keep the rule. Share it deliberately. Refused on an app none of whose\ntables states a `read_scope`.\n\n**The rows under a private record INHERIT its rule.** An entity that states no\n`read_scope` and hangs under one that does \u2014 through its `parent` link, over one\nhop or several \u2014 is read by the ancestor\'s rule, answered through that link, on\nits table\'s own filters and in every query and guard alike; nothing is restated,\nso a child needs none of the ancestor\'s columns. Stating a rule on the child\nkeeps that one instead, an ancestor with no rule passes nothing down, and a row\nhanging further under the scoped one than a row filter reaches is refused by\nname \u2014 state a rule on it. So is a hop over a link that names more than one row:\nthe rule would admit a reader any one of them admits while the editor\'s guard\nreads the first, so give the link `"cardinality": "one"` or state a rule on the\nchild.\n\n**ONLY the `parent` role is walked.** A register a scoped record reaches by any\nother link \u2014 the rows that NAME it \u2014 is read by that record\'s id with no rule\ntravelling to it, so it is refused until it states one of its own.\n\n## Field\n\nEvery field carries the keys below, and its `type`\'s section adds the rest; a\ntype whose section names no `default` takes none. `label` may not contain `{` or\n`}` (formulas reference fields by label at the platform level). Every row in `rows` states each\n`required` field it carries (a default is not applied to them), and a required\nLINK is written with its row: the entity it names is created first, and entities\nwhose required links name each other are refused, since none of their rows could\never be created.\n\n<!-- generated:start field -->\n\n#### Field\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `type` | `"text"` \\| `"number"` \\| `"date"` \\| `"boolean"` \\| `"select"` \\| `"select_member"` \\| `"select_record_link"` \\| `"files"` \\| `"formula"` \\| `"rollup"` \\| `"lookup"` \\| `"autonumber"` | yes | What the field holds \u2014 each type takes the further keys its own section lists |\n| `alias` | alias | yes | Stable local alias, unique within the entity |\n| `label` | text | yes | The field\'s name in the workspace, which apply names it |\n| `description` | text | no | The field\'s description, written onto the field in the workspace |\n| `required` | boolean | no | Refuse a record whose cell for this field is empty. Apply writes it onto the field, and every write path \u2014 create, update, an agent\'s tool call, a workflow\'s set \u2014 refuses the row by field name. |\n\n<!-- generated:end field -->\n\n### `text`\n\n<!-- generated:start field-text -->\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `default` | text | no | Value pre-filled into a new record when none is supplied for this field.

Applied on create only \u2014 existing records are never backfilled. |\n| `notation` | [notation](#number) | no | How the figure reads: { "style": "decimal" }; money, { "style": "currency", "currency": an ISO 4217 code (USD, VND) }; or a quantity, { "style": "unit", "unit": "percent" (10 reads "10%"), or a measured code (g, kg, t, l, m3, cbm, mm, cm, m, km, m2, min, h, day), which converts and scales within its dimension, or any other noun of at most 12 characters (ki\u1EC7n, pallet, TEU), which never does }. A currency or unit read on each row from a single select of that row is { "per_row": that select }. Omitted, a decimal. |\n\n<!-- generated:end field-number -->\n\n`notation` is how the number reads, and every surface reads it:\n`{ "style": "currency", "currency": "USD" }` prints as money in its code,\n`{ "style": "unit", "unit": "kg" }` as a quantity with its unit after it,\n`{ "style": "unit", "unit": "percent" }` as a percent \u2014 10 is "10%", never\nmultiplied \u2014 and `{ "style": "decimal" }`, or no notation, as a plain number. One\nkey, so a figure reads one way.\n\nThe keys `notation` replaced \u2014 `format`, `currency`, `unit`, `unit_field` and\n`currency_field`, on a number or in a formula, and a formula\'s `format: "link"`\nfor `link: true` \u2014 are no longer read. A field stating them naming another\nreading than its `notation` (a decimal, where it states none) is refused, and the\nfinding names the `notation` to write in their place: `"format": "currency",\n"currency": "USD"` becomes `"notation": { "style": "currency", "currency": "USD" }`.\nWrite `notation`.\n\nAn ABSENT number is drawn absent \u2014 the one exception is a\n`sum` or count rollup the plan reads as a **`measure`**: that is the thing\naccumulated toward a bound, so nothing accumulated yet is zero and the meter\ndraws it. The same rollup read as an `amount` keeps its blank, and so does every\nother role: nothing added to what a row is WORTH means unpriced, not free. A\nformula reading only such sums and counts, and reading zero where each does\n(`{received} - {refunded}`), is one too. A `min`, an `avg`, a percentage of\nnothing and every other formula stay blank in any role, because none of them has\nan answer to give. This is why the pair on one\nscreen reads two ways \u2014 what has come in against what is owed \u2014 and why a\nmeasure\'s own LIMIT, an amount, leaves an unquoted row out of the count rather\nthan reporting it as nothing collected. **AND WHERE THAT LIMIT IS ABSENT \u2014 OR\nZERO \u2014 THERE IS NO LEVEL AT ALL**: a level is a reading AGAINST a bound, so a row\nthat states no bound, or a bound of nothing, draws nothing \u2014 cell, fact and all \u2014\nrather than a numerator whose whole meaning was the comparison. "Collected 0"\nbeside a blank total reads as money against a job worth nothing, and "0 of 0"\nagainst a count of nothing owed claims a comparison nobody can make. A measure the model gives no limit is a plain figure\nand is unaffected. A share is stored in percent units \u2014 68.1 is 68.1 % \u2014 and the\ncolumn, the fact behind it, the meter it is judged by and the figure over the\nregister all say so.\n\nA unit \u2014 `{ "style": "unit", "unit": "kg" }` \u2014 is what a figure counts or\nmeasures; `percent` aside, it is measured or counted. A **measured** unit is a code of one catalog \u2014 mass `g`\n`kg` `t`, volume `l` `m3` `cbm` (a cubic metre under freight\'s name), length\n`mm` `cm` `m` `km`, area `m2`, duration `min` `h` `day` \u2014 so a figure typed in\nanother unit of its dimension converts (`12,5 t` into a `kg` field is 12 500),\nand a tile or a chart reads it in the largest unit it reaches (12 500 kg as\n12,5 t\u1EA5n; CBM never scales) while a cell, a fact and a column always read in the\nfield\'s own. Any other noun of at most 12 characters (`ki\u1EC7n`, `pallet`, `TEU`) is a\n**counted** unit: a word after the figure that never converts. A measured unit is\nwritten as its code \u2014 `t\u1EA5n`, `KG` or `m\xB3` is refused, naming the code. A formula\nstates its own in `formula.notation`; a rollup that keeps the value (`sum`, `avg`,\n`median`, `min`, `max`, `range`) and a lookup carry the unit of the figure they\nread, exactly as they carry a currency, and a count carries none. A quantity is a\nnumber with its unit, never words (`3 cartons` in a text field): only a number\nsums, converts and reads down a column.\n\nA field\'s cells always hold figures in its own unit, so moving it between two\nunits of one dimension (`kg` to `t`) converts every stored figure \u2014 a change made\nin the workspace, in the field\'s settings (which say how many first) or through\n`lotics run update_table`. `model apply` never makes it: the model states the\nworkspace\'s unit until then. Any other change of unit\nrelabels.\n\nA figure whose unit or currency varies by row names a single select of its own\nrow as `per_row` \u2014 `{ "style": "unit", "unit": { "per_row": "uom" } }`,\n`{ "style": "currency", "currency": { "per_row": "currency" } }` \u2014 or a lookup of\none through a one-link, a line reading its shipment\'s currency. That select\'s\noptions are the vocabulary: each label a unit (`chi\u1EBFc`, `kg`), or an ISO 4217 code\n(`USD`). A label outside it is refused when the figure is written and when the\nselect is \u2014 its options, its type or its deletion while a figure names it. A row\nwhose select is empty reads its figure bare. Every app reads each row\'s figure in\nits own row\'s unit, and a sum never mixes units: totals are one per unit, a\nchart draws one at a time. A rollup that keeps the value (`sum`, `avg`, `min`\u2026)\nover such a figure stands only where the child\'s select is a lookup, through\nthe rollup\'s own link, of a select on this entity \u2014 the rollup reads that\nselect\'s unit; otherwise it is refused, as is any lookup of such a figure (its\nunit lives on the other row). A count is unaffected. Moving a field between a\nfixed and a per-row unit relabels.\n\n### `date`\n\n<!-- generated:start field-date -->\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `default` | text | no | Value pre-filled into a new record when none is supplied for this field.

Both sides of a pair carry it, each naming the other.

The mirror invariant belongs to a PAIRED\nlink: pair a link when the target\'s own record should list what points at it, and\nleave it unpaired when it should not. Either way the record plan draws the\nrelation as a section on the side it points at, so an unpaired link costs the\ntarget nothing.\n\n### `files`\n\nNo keys beyond every field\'s; a row attaches documents to it (\xA7 Rows). Each file\nis drawn by its kind, with no key to choose: a picture (an image, a video) as its\nthumbnail, a document (a PDF, a sheet) as its type\'s badge and its filename.\n\n### `formula`\n\n<!-- generated:start field-formula -->\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `formula` | [Formula](#formula) | yes | Formula config.

Ignored on the wire (the platform re-infers it); `lotics model pull` writes the inferred value. |\n\n<!-- generated:end field-formula -->\n\n`output_type` is what lets a role or a screen clause accept a computed value: a\ncaption over a derived name (`output_type: "text"`), a period over a settled date\n(`"date"`). A formula declaring no `output_type`, `notation` or `link` says nothing\nabout its result, and every rule that needs one refuses it by name. A formula stating\n`options` is a computed category: read-only, and read as a single select\nwherever it is drawn \u2014 a column, a filter, a reading\'s `by` or `where`.\n\n**A select reaches a formula as the KEYS of its chosen options**, a list \u2014\nnever their labels, and never their aliases \u2014 and a model has no keys: the\nworkspace mints them when the table is made. So an option is named in a formula\nas `{field:option}`, both aliases, and the copy writes that option\'s key in its\nplace: `includes({kind}, {kind:crate})` for a select holding one or several,\n`{kind}[0] == {kind:crate}` for a single one. A select compared to its own words\n(`{kind} != "Crate"`) matches no row and computes the other branch everywhere,\nso the check refuses it and names the token. A select looked up from another\nentity is tested there, in a formula of its own, and that result looked up.\n\n**The language.** The offline check and the platform compute a formula with one\nengine, and the check refuses a call or a name it cannot run, naming what to write:\n\n<!-- generated:start field-formula-language -->\n\n- Operators: `+ - * / %`, `== != > < >= <=`, `&& || !`; `+` also joins text\n- Conditionals: a ternary only \u2014 `{amount} > 100 ? "High" : "Low"`\n- Not supported: optional chaining (`?.`), nullish coalescing (`??`), template literals, arrow functions \u2014 use `get(obj, "path", default)`, `coalesce(v1, v2)`\n- Helpers are these names, spelled exactly; a spreadsheet function (`IF`, `SUM`, `LEN`, `DATEDIF`) is none of them, and a formula calling one is refused\n- Math: round(n,decimals?), ceil(n), floor(n), abs(n), min(a,b), max(a,b), sum(arr), mean(arr), clamp(n,min,max), percentage(part,total,decimals?), pow(base,exp), sqrt(n), mod(n,divisor)\n- Strings: upper(s), lower(s), trim(s), capitalize(s), length(s), contains(s,search), join(arr,sep), split(s,sep), replace(s,search,rep), replaceAll(s,search,rep), startsWith(s,prefix), endsWith(s,suffix), substring(s,start,end?), padStart(s,len,char), padEnd(s,len,char), numberToWords(n, lang?)

Test it with `isEmpty({note})` \u2014 `{note} == ""` and `{done} == false` are false on an unset cell\n- Arithmetic over an empty cell: `+` and `-` read it as 0 beside a value (`{fee} + {surcharge}` is `{fee}` when the surcharge is empty, null when both are); `*`, `/`, `%` and a unary `-` yield null (`{price} * {qty}` is null, not 0, when the quantity is empty)\n- No helper throws on an empty cell: the math helpers and toNumber return null, the string helpers "". A value of the wrong type still errors. When EVERY field a formula reads is empty it is null \u2014 unless it reads each only as the argument of isEmpty, isNull or isNotNull (`!isEmpty({file})` is false there, not null)\n\n<!-- generated:end field-formula-language -->\n\n### `rollup`\n\nAggregates the records reached through a link on this entity.\n\n<!-- generated:start field-rollup -->\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `source_field_alias` | alias | yes | Alias of a select_record_link field on this entity to roll up from |\n| `aggregate_option` | [aggregation](#rollup) | yes | Aggregation operation.

Over\nseveral rows the rows are listed under the entity\'s alias, for\n`{{#each <alias>}}`, without their child rows.\n\nHelpers print a raw value in the template\'s `locale` \u2014 `vi` or `en`, the organization\'s language where it states\nnone; each prints `""` for an empty value:\n\n| Helper | Prints (`vi` / `en`) |\n|---|---|\n| `{{money total "USD"}}` | `1.250,50 US$` / `$1,250.50`, in the currency\'s minor units; no code, a number |\n| `{{number qty}}` | `1.234,5` / `1,234.5`: grouped, up to 2 decimals |\n| `{{date issued_on}}` | `14/09/2026`; a date-fns pattern as the second argument, `{{date at "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm"}}`, literal text quoted (`"\'Ng\xE0y\' dd"`).

`closed` names some of them, and a deadline (`due`) is never one. |\n| `records.milestone-add` | An add asks the first milestone at most \u2014 each after it is ticked in order. |\n| `records.figure` | A figure is a number. |\n| `records.applies` | `applies` holds a field of the row other than its title to conditions of the same row \u2014 a yes/no (stored or a formula) by `true` or `false`, a single select by its options, its own or looked up through a one-row link \u2014 never to itself; a required field it holds starts at a `default`. |\n| `records.limits` | `limits` bounds a number by a number field of the row, in its unit or one of the same dimension \u2014 or by a constant, where every row reads the figure in one unit. |\n| `records.gates` | `gates` marks a pass on a meter `limits` bounds: a percent field (its share of the bound), another number in the bound\'s unit, or a constant. |\n| `records.tolerance` | `tolerance` stands on a meter `limits` bounds. |\n| `records.starts` | `starts` starts a field a person writes \u2014 `today` a date or a moment (never a span), `me` a member \u2014 and an add that does not ask a field it starts writes that start. |\n| `records.due` | A deadline (`due`) is a date. |\n| `records.frees` | `frees` names a stored day, never a moment: a span of moments already frees its end. |\n| `records.settled` | `settled` names a yes/no of the row (stored, or a formula) beside a `due`: while it holds, the row\'s deadlines neither count down nor turn overdue. |\n| `records.task` | A task entity (`task`) states a `status` of a stored single select with `closed` options \u2014 its ring ticks a row done by moving it to one. |\n| `records.picture` | *Refused until adopted or declined:* Rows an app draws that each hold one files field no act makes, no call is filed into and no files block keeps \u2014 and no figure \u2014 are pictured by it (`image`); where the workspace\'s files are known, the field holding images is the picture, a figure or not. |\n| `records.history-note` | *Noted, never refused:* A record, never a task, whose stored status an act of its app moves, with no `history`: when a row entered each status and who moved it is kept nowhere. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-records -->\n\n- **The title names the row** by who or what it is \u2014 a link by the linked row (a job\n read by its customer). An autonumber is refused as a title; a typed number is the\n subtitle.\n- **The status** is one single select. `closed` options end the work: a register opens\n on the rows not in them. A `history` entity gets one row per move \u2014 its link to this\n entity, the new status (a select holding the same option aliases, or text), the\n moment and who \u2014 appended by the app\'s own writes that move the status, never by a\n table automation. A `history` the model does not declare is derived, and needs no\n `records` entry of its own.\n- **Milestones** are the alternative to a stored select: dates in the order the work\n reaches them, the stage being the last one filled (never stored). A milestone with a\n `when` applies only while its select holds those options and its stored yes/no that\n value; otherwise the row skips it.\n The record draws them as one block where ticking stamps today and clearing one clears\n every later one; every save and act re-checks that a date comes after each earlier one\n that applies. `closed` names the milestones that end the work. A register\'s add may ask\n the first milestone, never a later one; an act may stamp one, never clear it.\n- **A limit** reads a number against a bound \u2014 another field of the row, or a constant.\n A `gates` entry marks a pass on that meter: a percent field is its share of the\n bound, any other number an amount.\n- **A deadline** (`due`) counts down wherever it is drawn and is overdue once past while\n the work is open. A register over the entity says how many rows in view are overdue on\n its summary line, and pressing that count narrows to them \u2014 no reading to state.\n- **A span\'s free day** (`frees`) is the end date on which what the row held is free\n again \u2014 a check-out, a hire\'s return. A stay from the 3rd to the 5th holds two nights:\n a lanes board, a calendar and a roster draw it through the 4th, and `no_overlap` lets\n the next stay start on the 5th. Without it a span of days holds its last day; a span of\n moments always ends as the next may begin.\n- **`starts`** is where an add\'s field begins, stated only where that is certain \u2014 a\n log\'s own day at `today`, a request\'s requester at `me`. Nothing else starts a field\n but its declared `default` and what the reader narrowed the register to.\n\n## Write rules\n\n`write_rules` is what a WRITE meets, keyed by entity alias; each entity\'s is held\nby its table. Every generated write of an\napp (`create_<entity>`, `update_<entity>`, each act) re-checks these on the\nserver; the screen only mirrors them.\n\n```jsonc\n"write_rules": {\n // A customer is RECOGNISED by their address.

A key holding a `text` field is unique: `unique:\n true` on that field, or the key\'s fields as a set in the entity\'s `unique` (a\n site by its customer and its name) \u2014 two rows sharing it would make\n find-or-create pick whichever the read answered first. An add asks the key by\n default.\n- A `min` or `max` naming a field is read off the row as the save would leave it,\n and one naming `<link>.<field>` off the row the link names \u2014 the link\'s side\n re-checks its own rows when that bound moves.\n- A `default_from` copies where the add is sure to hold its link\'s row \u2014 a\n required link, or the record the row is added under (an appointment added under a\n plan takes the plan\'s patient) \u2014 and the two field types match. The copied field is\n not asked there; through an optional link the add leaves empty, it is asked.\n- A `same` link names only rows that name what this row names \u2014 a fee\'s invoice\n is one of its own visit\'s \u2014 through a one-row link both entities hold to one\n entity; its picker offers nothing until the row names one. A row added under a\n record names what it copies off it (`default_from`) from the start, so a block\n expecting one line per row of the link lists that record\'s rows alone. A save\n moving what the two compare, on either row, is refused while they would name apart.\n- An `options_where` link may be left empty; a row it names is refused again\n where the write lands unless it holds the narrowing. A link naming one kind of\n a book\'s rows (a "Shipping line" among the parties) narrows to that kind, or\n its picker offers every row.\n\nA field\'s own `required` is not here: the contract carries it, and every write\npath refuses the row by field name from it. `unique` is the text field\'s own\nclause (\xA7 `text`) \u2014 an add says so at the control before the column does. A\nfield the workspace writes (a formula, a rollup, a lookup, an autonumber, a date\nwith `derive_from`) is never asked, written or edited.\n\n## Apps\n\nAn app is ONE register over one entity and the record each row opens \u2014 or a dashboard\nof readings. The author states COMPOSITION \u2014 which fields go where; the runtime owns\nhow each thing looks, one treatment per concept. Nothing is drawn that the app does not\nname, and each fact appears once on a record. What the vocabulary has no word for is an\nact\'s own `workflow`.\n\n```jsonc\n"apps": [{\n "alias": "gate", "name": "Gate in and out", "entity": "visit",\n "register": { "columns": ["service"], "filters": ["customer", "service"] },\n "record": {\n "sections": [\n { "title": "In", "fields": ["customer", "service"], "blocks": [{ "rows": "fee", "columns": ["amount"] }] },\n { "title": "Out", "at": ["in_yard"], "fields": ["release", "seal"], "blocks": [{ "files": ["photos"] }], "acts": ["gate_out"] }\n ]\n },\n "acts": [{ "alias": "gate_out", "label": "Gate out", "when": { "stage": ["in_yard"] },\n "requires": ["release", "seal"], "set": { "stage": "gone", "left_on": "now" }, "confirm": true }],\n "checks": [{ "field": "unpaid", "blocks": ["gate_out"] }]\n}]\n```\n\nThe keys below are the app\'s own.

Each book holds the title, the status, the folder (`scope`), what `where` keeps and every check locking the rows; the register is a table or cards. Two books holding a field of their own under one alias hold it as one kind of value. A report\'s `books` each name the app\'s entity or one of its books, once, and one of them holds each field its `where` and `per` narrow by. `register.book` reads a register that has books. |\n| `app.book-option-kin` | *Noted, never refused:* A book\'s option labelled as one of the app\'s, under another alias, reads apart from it: the register lists both and counts each on its own. |\n| `app.book-lacks` | *Noted, never refused:* A book lacking a field the app\'s record, an act or an add reads: what reads it drops from the book\'s rows \u2014 an act, a block, a section, the add. A field only a report prints, held by a book as another kind of value, prints blank on its rows. |\n| `app.row` | An app\'s `row` states only what differs from `records`: a line that is not the title, a number for its figure, a files picture no act makes documents into. |\n| `app.files-shown` | Every files field is drawn by some app over its entity \u2014 a section\'s `fields`, a `files` block, a column, the `image`, or where an act making its papers into it (`into`) stands, a section naming the act: the made paper reads under the act, one per template. |\n| `app.tasks` | *Noted, never refused:* A task entity an app lists whose rows no write of the app moves to a closed option (its ring stands disabled), or that an act ticks done and none moves back. |\n| `app.declines` | `declines` names decided rules that fire on the app, each with why the app stays as it is: by id, and `records.picture:<entity>` and `model.template-act:<template>`, said once per entity and per template, with what they fire on. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-app -->\n\n`writes: "children"` is a desk that adds and edits a record\'s child rows and never\nthe record itself. `reads: "shared"` lifts every read scope the app\'s tables state \u2014\nrefused where none of them states one.\n\n`scope` names a required one-row link of the entity: the app works inside ONE row of\nthe linked entity at a time \u2014 a project, a branch, a season. With no folder remembered\nit opens on the list of them, each with how many of the app\'s rows it holds; inside,\nevery read, count and reading narrows to that one, an add files its row under it (the\nlink is never asked), and the record states its folder in the header. A scope narrows\nthe view; who may read what stays the entity\'s `read_scope`. The folder link is never a\ncolumn, a filter, a search field, a fact or an add\'s question.\n\nAn app whose job reads its rows otherwise than the entity\'s `records` restates them in\nits own `row` \u2014 the cashier\'s figure is what is still owed, its line the service and the\nday. The subtitle, figure and image it states replace the entity\'s wherever that app\ndraws a row of it; every other app reads `records`, and the title is the entity\'s.\n\n### Declines\n\nA rule the check marks *Refused until adopted or declined* is a treatment the apply requires unless the app\ndeclines it. The apply refuses an app missing one and hands it a patch stating it: merge the patch, or state in the app\'s `declines`\nwhy the app stays as it is, under the key the finding names \u2014 the rule\'s id, or `records.picture:<entity>` and\n`model.template-act:<template>` with what they fire on. A decline naming a rule that is not decided, or one no\nrows of the model could fire, is refused. Only the apply\'s check reads `declines`; the app never does.

A\ncolumn the row already draws is refused. `sort` is one key or a list of keys, most\nsignificant first, each breaking the ties of the ones before it \u2014 a shipping line in its\nselect\'s option order, then the arrival day soonest first:\n`[{ "field": "shipping_line" }, { "field": "arrived_on" }]`; a header\'s press leads them.\nAbsent `sort`, rows open soonest deadline first where the row has a `due`, else newest first. `search` names the fields\nthe search box matches \u2014 a link by its row\'s title \u2014 and a pasted list searches each\nline, naming the lines no row matched; absent, it matches every word of the row.\n\n`where` keeps the rows the app works, read so on the server and never a chip: a\npurchase desk over orders of both directions states `"where": { "direction":\n["purchase"] }`, and a row added there is written holding the one option (a select kept\nat several is asked among them). `opens` is the view the register opens on, each entry a\nchip the reader may take away: a cashier opens on `"opens": { "owes": true }`. Both take\na select\'s options or a yes/no\'s value, stored or a formula; `opens` on the status is\nthe chips\' opening choice. `opens` also takes `"me"` on a member field \u2014 `"opens": {\n"assignee": "me" }` opens on the rows assigned to whoever reads, the server reading the\nreader, never the page; `where` refuses it, since it fixes the rows for every reader\n(who may read a row at all is the entity\'s `read_scope`).\n\nHow the rows are laid out is \xA7 Layouts, tabs over a period \xA7 Tabs, the report \xA7 Export, and the band above\nthe rows \xA7 Readings.\n\n## Layouts\n\n`layout` is how the register draws its rows \u2014 one of the pages below; absent, a table. Each reads what the\nrows already state (their `records` line, status and dates), and the keys a layout adds stand on its page.\nWhich one a job needs: the `design` reference.\n\n### Table\n\nAbsent `layout`, each row is one line: the entity\'s `records` entry \u2014 its picture, title and the line under it\n\u2014 then the status, the `columns`, and the figure at the right; the title, the status and a column of days or\namounts sort the rows by their header. A table groups its rows by `group` (a gantt draws it as its lanes); a\ntable or cards reads `tabs` and `books`.\n\n### Cards\n\n`layout: "cards"` draws each row as a card led by its picture \u2014 the `records` `image`, or the app\'s\n`row.image`: its title and the line under it, its status and what needs the reader (a deadline, a warning),\nthen its figure and the register\'s `columns` at its foot. Cards are for rows found by their picture (a\nproduct, a vehicle, a damage photo); rows with no picture read better as a table.\n\n### Calendar\n\n`layout: "calendar"` places each row on its day \u2014 a month, a week, a day or a list (a\nphone reads the list or a day): at its hour where the date holds one, over its span\nwhere the row\'s line holds a second date after it, its line\'s other words and the\nregister\'s `columns` after its title. The calendar reads the window in view, and its\ncount and the status chips count that window, opening on every row.\n\n### Lanes\n\n`layout: "lanes"` with `lanes` naming a one-link draws each row of the linked entity as\na lane (a chair, a machine, a room), empty ones too, and each register row as a block\nfrom the first date on its line to the second: over the hours of one day where the first\nholds its hour, else over the days of one day, a week or a month. A block reads the row\'s\nname and the first of its `columns`; a free stretch between blocks adds a row there, its\nlane and its start set, and its end where the next block bounds it. A phone lists each\nlane\'s blocks and free stretches in clock order. Rows naming no lane stand first, in a lane\nof their own; where the app writes the link, each block moves to another lane from its menu.\nInside a folder (`scope`), the lanes are the ones whose own one-link names that folder \u2014 a\nbranch\'s rooms, never every branch\'s. A span\'s end holds its day unless `records` names it\nthe day the row `frees`.\n\n`loads` names what a lane carries: `{ "weight": "payload", "volume": "box" }` sums each\nblock\'s number and reads it against the lane row\'s own, at most two. A lane holds its\nblocks while they stand, so it reads the most they add up to at one time in the window \u2014\na day\'s rows together \u2014 named, past its bound, by how much and on which day or at which\nhour. The two are in one unit, or two of one dimension (kg against t); a block then reads\nwhat it adds, and the move menu reads each lane as it would stand with the block on it.\nA bound a single row must keep (no parcel heavier than its van) is a `write_rules` `max`\nthrough the link, which refuses the move.\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-lanes -->\n\n#### Lanes keys\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `lanes` | alias | no | With `layout: "lanes"`: a one-link of this entity whose target\'s rows are the lanes (a chair, a machine, a room), each drawn even when empty.

The bars stand in the lanes of the register\'s `group`. Where the app writes the\nrow and a person writes a bar\'s date, the bar is dragged through the row\'s save, which then\nwrites those two dates though no section places them; a computed date, one an act sets, or\nan app with `writes: "children"` drags nothing.\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-gantt -->\n\n#### Gantt keys\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `gantt` | [Gantt bar](#gantt-bar) | no | With `layout: "gantt"`: the dates and facts each row\'s bar is drawn from |\n\n#### Gantt bar\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `start` | alias | yes | A date of this entity each row\'s bar starts at (a sailing, a hire\'s start, a task\'s start) |\n| `end` | alias | no | The date each row\'s bar ends at, read as `start` is \u2014 two days or two moments; absent, the entity\'s first `due` |\n| `milestones` | list of alias (at least one) | no | Dates of the row marked on its bar\'s line as diamonds, each named by its label (a cut-off, a delivery, the end of free time) \u2014 never `start` or `end` |\n| `planned` | [Gantt plan](#gantt-plan) | no | The plan each row is read against, drawn as a thin bar under its own \u2014 each date read as `start` is; a missing one is the bar\'s own |\n| `progress` | alias | no | A percent of this entity (0\u2013100) filling each row\'s bar as far as the work is done; absent, the bar wears its status\'s tone |\n| `after` | alias | no | A link of this entity to its own rows each row waits on \u2014 it starts once they end (finish-to-start), an arrow from each; a row starting before one ends is drawn in the danger tone |\n\n#### Gantt plan\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `start` | alias | no | The date the row was planned to start at |\n| `end` | alias | no | The date the row was planned to end at (a booked arrival) |\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `register.gantt` | `layout: "gantt"` and `gantt` go together: `start` and `end` (absent, the entity\'s first `due`) are two different dates of the row, both days or both moments; each milestone another date of it, each planned date read as `start` is, `progress` a percent and `after` a link to rows of the same entity. |\n\n<!-- generated:end apps-gantt -->\n\n### Roster\n\n`layout: "roster"` draws the register\'s rows down the side and the days of a week or a\nmonth across; `roster` names the entity whose rows fill the days \u2014 each stands on one\nregister row by its single link to it, and on the first date of its line (a shift on a\nperson\'s day, a run on a vehicle\'s), on every day through the second date where its line\nholds one.

A day holding none stays empty: nothing\nwas due, which is never an absence. A filled cell opens its row; an empty one adds a row\nthere, the register row and the day set, asking what any add of it asks \u2014 unless no\napp writes those rows (`writes: false`). With `expect` (a single select of those\nrows) the columns are its options in place of days \u2014 a checklist of papers \u2014 and `of`\n(this entity\'s multi-select) names the ones each row expects: a gap among them reads as\none and adds its row, the others stand blank, and each row reads what it holds of them,\n`2/3`.

A metric summing a value `limits` bounds reads against the\nsum of its bound (`10 / 14`); `target` reads one against a number nothing bounds. A\nmetric\'s change is green where it moves the good way: a sum\'s rise, a count kept by\n`where` falling; `better` states the other way where that reads wrong \u2014 money going out\n(`"better": "down"`). A register reads only its own entity; a `list` stands only on a\ndashboard.\n\n`readings` read the register\'s own rows above them: the rows in view, so the search,\nthe status and the filters narrow each one, but a picture\'s own field, which it reads as\nthe register opens on it. A table, cards or a gantt over rows that move or carry money states\nthem (`register.headline`); elsewhere they stand where a picture answers something the rows\ncannot. They stand under the title in one compact\nband: lead with the job\'s headline number (a `metric`), then at most the mix (a\n`breakdown`) and the movement (a `trend`) \u2014 a `pivot` stands under the band as a whole table, every line and its totals. A picture\nstands only where it splits the rows in view into two parts or more, one of them\nholding two rows or more; a split whose rows\nall fall in one part, and a lone figure with no picture beside it, are said on the\nsummary line instead, so a band stands only holding a picture or two figures. The summary line already totals the\nfigure over the rows in view and the status chips count them, so a `metric` summing the\nfigure, or counting the rows of an entity with a status, is refused unless its `where`\nnarrows it.\n\n## Dashboards\n\nA dashboard is `{ "alias", "name", "dashboard": [readings] }` with no entity, register\nor record: each reading reads every row of its entity, and one period the reader\nswitches (this month \xB7 30 days \xB7 this quarter \xB7 this year) windows each reading placed\nin time; one placed in no time reads the rows as they stand now, and its head says so.\n`period` is the one the switch opens on \u2014 `"quarter"` for a desk read early in a month,\nwhen the month so far holds next to nothing; absent, this month.\nA `list` reading lists rows, each opening in its `app`.

A correction \u2014 `danger` and not one of its step\'s outcomes (no other status move offered at the same moment) \u2014 waits in the section heading\'s \u22EF, and one no section names in the header\'s \u22EF; every other act is named by a section |\n| `when` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Shown only while each named select of the record holds one of these options, and each named yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value |\n| `side` | `true` | no | The section the rest are worked from, drawn in a pane beside them rather than in their scroll \u2014 the photos looked at, the pool picked from, the paper typed off; at most one on a record, which opens on a page door.

A section is\nits fields, the acts under them, then its blocks \u2014 the acts at its foot instead where one\nreads what a block holds or none of its fields \u2014 and holds at least one of them. From\nthree sections on, the record is navigated by their titles: a page by a rail that jumps\nto each (a strip of the same names on a phone), a drawer by tabs, the companion the last;\nwith fewer, the sections just stack. `description` is one sentence under the title.\n`at` names the status options (or the milestones) during which the section is the work\nnow \u2014 only on a record that truly moves through those stages: the rail marks it done,\nnow or waiting (an item of no `at` is its title alone), and the section stands even holding\nnothing yet \u2014 it never hides a field, locks it or gates an act, and a record opens at its\nhead. `page: true` makes a section a page of its own under the\nrecord\'s, off its scroll, with a way back \u2014 rarely, for a long related list or a workspace\nof its own that would make the record worse stacked; never on a drawer or a step. The\nheader draws no act: every act on the record is named by the section whose work it is, and one no section names is refused, naming its likely\nsection \u2014 only a correction no section owns waits in the header\'s \u22EF beside Delete. An act\nmoving the status and offered at ONE step (its `when`) stands at that step\'s foot when it\nmoves the work forward \u2014 to the next step, or to an exit later in the status\'s options\n(Reject beside Approve) \u2014 or back to a step the work passes anyway. One offered at SEVERAL\nsteps, or moving back into a detour, is named by the section it enters: a detour draws it and its\ngaps alone while it waits. A `danger` act is a correction \u2014 waiting in the \u22EF of what it acts\non: its section\'s heading, its row, the header\'s where no section names it \u2014 unless it moves\nthe status while another status move is offered at the same moment; then it is one of that\nstep\'s outcomes, a button. Cancel offered at Held and at Confirmed, beside Confirm, is an\noutcome into an exit: state `{ "title": "Cancelled", "at": ["cancelled"], "fields": ["reason"],\n"acts": ["cancel"] }`. An exit stands only once the record is in it, its reason there and its\nrail item apart from the path; until then Cancel waits in the header\'s \u22EF. `comments: true`\nputs the record\'s comment thread beside the sections, and `history: true` its status history \u2014\nthe history never as a section. Both are opt-in: state them only where the job\'s people\ndiscuss a record, or the owner asks for an audit trail of its moves.\n\nA field, a block and an act is each placed ONCE on a record \u2014 the header, one section;\na second place is refused. The header draws the entity\'s `records` title, subtitle,\nimage, status (or milestones) and figure, so none of them is named again in a section\'s\n`fields` or the register\'s `columns` \u2014 save the image, which one `files` block may draw\nagain, whole at reading size (an incident\'s photo, a scan), the header keeping its mark. Refused too: a section holding nothing, an `at`\non a record with no status, and a section\'s act that is a child\'s or runs over the\nregister\'s rows.\nA table, cards or a gantt states its record\'s `sections` (`record.sections`); absent them \u2014 a register laid\nout in time, or one declining the rule \u2014 one section holds every field a person writes that the header does\nnot show. An editable field rests as its control and saves as it changes; everything\nelse is plain text. A section or a block with `when` is shown only while each named\nselect of the record holds one of its options. The one layout serves every entity: a\ncustomer or a product is sections without `at`.\n\n## Blocks\n\n```jsonc\n"blocks": [\n { "rows": "fee", "columns": ["kind", "amount"] },\n { "rows": "fee", "where": { "leg": ["out"] }, "columns": ["kind", "amount"], "under": "invoice" },\n { "rows": "cost", "via": "bill", "create": false, "remove": false, "pick": true },\n { "agenda": "booking", "columns": ["guide"], "start": "arrival" },\n { "timeline": "note" },\n { "files": ["photos", "papers"] },\n { "text": "remarks", "when": { "stage": ["held"] } }\n]\n```\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-blocks -->\n\n#### Rows block\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `rows` | alias | yes | A child entity whose rows belong to this record |\n| `via` | alias | no | The child\'s link to this record, where it has more than one |\n| `title` | text | no | The block\'s heading; absent, the child entity\'s or the field\'s own label |\n| `columns` | list of alias | no | The child\'s fields read as columns after its title \u2014 never what its row draws (subtitle, image, status, figure, or the bound its figure\'s meter reads against), though an `expect` block\'s figure is a column, filled in place. |\n| `create` | list of alias (at least one) \\| `false` | no | The child\'s fields asked when a row is added here; absent, its title, its picture, the subtitle and figure no default fills, the block\'s columns, its natural key and every required field \u2014 each a person writes; false, rows are not added here |\n| `where` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Only the child rows whose single select holds one of these options, or whose yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value \u2014 every entry ANDed, read so on the server; a row added here holds the selects\' (one leg\'s fees, of a record holding both legs\').

A rows block adds rows\nand opens each in a drawer. An `agenda` draws planned entries by day, soonest first:\nthe first date on the child\'s row line is the day, a datetime there or the first single\nselect after the date orders a day, and `start` \u2014 the record\'s date \u2014 is day 1. `under`\nnames the child\'s one-link to a document covering its lines (an invoice over its fees,\nits many-link paired back, linking to the record): each document heads the lines it\ncovers, the uncovered lines first \u2014 the record never lists the documents again as a\nblock of their own. A filled line no document covers says so on its own row, where one\npress makes a document over that line alone, its figure starting at the line\'s amount;\nwhere two or more wait, the block\'s heading makes one over those ticked in its dialog.\n`pick` takes rows of the child on file that no record holds through `via` yet \u2014 an\noptional one-row link a person writes, paired with a many-link of the record (a supplier\nbill over the job\'s cost lines): the heading offers those both links\' rules admit \u2014\nnaming what the record names in each `same` link, none until it names each \u2014 holding the\nblock\'s `where`, and links at most 200 ticked; a row picked leaves from its \u22EF, kept.\nPicking saves the record, so a check locking it refuses, and one refusing a row\'s edits\nrefuses that row. Never on an `expect` or `under` block, through a link an `under` block\nstands lines under, nor in an app writing only children; a child\'s `read_scope` needs a\nclause not through `via`.\nA timeline reads its child\'s first date as the moment and its member field as who, with\na composer where the app writes it. An agenda\'s or a timeline\'s entry with no day yet is\na plan, listed first and dated in place. An add here fills the link to this record, never asking it. `expect`\nnames the child\'s title where the record holds one row per value of it \u2014 a select\'s\noptions, or the rows a link to a catalog may point at (`options_where`): every value\nis a line, one not yet filled a quiet line whose first column makes its row \u2014 or, where\nthe child is pictured by a file a person brings (its `records` `image`), a placeholder\nnaming the paper whose upload makes the row with its file \u2014 the add\noffers only the values not yet held, and every write path refuses a second row of one\nvalue under one record. A field that starts from the catalog row (`default_from`)\nshows that value as its hint, taken with one press. A block narrowed by a select\'s\n`where` expects its lines once per value among them (one leg\'s fees beside the\nother\'s), and its foot is totalled by the record\'s sum narrowed alike.\n\n## Reading blocks\n\nA `metric`, `breakdown`, `trend` or `pivot` block on a record is a reading (\xA7 Readings) of a child entity\'s\nrows under it, read only \u2014 `via` names the link where the child has more than one.\n\n```jsonc\n"blocks": [\n { "metric": "fee", "value": "amount", "label": "Fees" },\n { "breakdown": "fee", "by": "kind" },\n { "trend": "fee", "over": "charged_on", "value": "amount" },\n { "pivot": "fee", "rows": "kind", "columns": "method" }\n]\n```\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-reading-blocks -->\n\n#### Metric block\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `metric` | alias | yes | The entity whose rows are counted, or summed, into one number |\n| `value` | alias | no | A number field summed over the rows;

Unticking runs the act moving a closed row\nback (its `when` holding a closed option), else the save back to the status\'s default. A move no\nwrite reaches leaves the ring disabled, never hidden, and the check notes it. The status is moved\nin place on the row by the same moves; every other field is edited where the row opens. A\nfiles column reads on a task\'s line as how many files it holds. An act `of` the child with\n`on: "rows"` completes several at once: the list\'s heading offers to select rows, and the act\nruns on those picked. A block with `expect` or `under` draws its own lines, never rings.\n\n```json\n{\n "entities": [\n {\n "alias": "project",\n "label": "Projects",\n "singular": "Project",\n "fields": [\n { "alias": "name", "label": "Name", "type": "text", "required": true },\n { "alias": "lead", "label": "Lead", "type": "select_member" }\n ]\n },\n {\n "alias": "task",\n "label": "Tasks",\n "singular": "Task",\n "fields": [\n { "alias": "title", "label": "Title", "type": "text", "required": true },\n {\n "alias": "project",\n "label": "Project",\n "type": "select_record_link",\n "target_entity": "project",\n "cardinality": "one",\n "required": true\n },\n { "alias": "assignee", "label": "Assignee", "type": "select_member" },\n {\n "alias": "status",\n "label": "Status",\n "type": "select",\n "required": true,\n "options": [\n { "alias": "todo", "label": "To do", "color": "slate" },\n { "alias": "done", "label": "Done", "color": "green" }\n ],\n "default": ["todo"]\n },\n { "alias": "due", "label": "Due", "type": "date", "format": "date" },\n { "alias": "done_on", "label": "Done on", "type": "date", "format": "date" }\n ]\n }\n ],\n "records": {\n "project": { "title": "name" },\n "task": {\n "title": "title",\n "subtitle": ["assignee"],\n "status": { "field": "status", "closed": ["done"] },\n "due": ["due"],\n "task": true,\n "starts": { "assignee": "me" }\n }\n },\n "apps": [\n {\n "alias": "projects",\n "name": "Projects",\n "entity": "project",\n "record": {\n "sections": [{ "title": "Work", "fields": ["lead"], "blocks": [{ "rows": "task", "columns": ["due"] }] }]\n },\n "acts": [\n { "alias": "complete", "label": "Complete", "of": "task", "when": { "status": ["todo"] }, "set": { "status": "done", "done_on": "now" } },\n { "alias": "reopen", "label": "Reopen", "of": "task", "when": { "status": ["done"] }, "set": { "status": "todo", "done_on": null } },\n { "alias": "complete_all", "label": "Complete", "of": "task", "on": "rows", "when": { "status": ["todo"] }, "set": { "status": "done", "done_on": "now" } }\n ]\n },\n {\n "alias": "my_tasks",\n "name": "My tasks",\n "entity": "task",\n "register": {\n "opens": { "assignee": "me" },\n "readings": [{ "metric": "task", "where": { "status": ["todo"] }, "label": "Open" }]\n },\n "record": {\n "door": "drawer",\n "sections": [{ "title": "Task", "fields": ["project", "due"], "acts": ["finish", "undo"] }]\n },\n "acts": [\n { "alias": "finish", "label": "Finish", "when": { "status": ["todo"] }, "set": { "status": "done", "done_on": "now" } },\n { "alias": "undo", "label": "Undo", "when": { "status": ["done"] }, "set": { "status": "todo", "done_on": null } }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n## Acts\n\n```jsonc\n"acts": [{\n "alias": "gate_out", "label": "Gate out",\n "when": { "stage": ["in_yard"] }, "requires": ["release", "seal"],\n "asks": ["seal", { "input": "note", "label": "Note", "type": "long_text" }],\n "set": { "stage": "gone", "left_on": "now", "left_by": "me", "remark": "input:note" },\n "confirm": true\n}]\n```\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-acts -->\n\n#### Act\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `alias` | alias | yes | The act\'s name within its app \u2014 its workflow is `act_<alias>` |\n| `label` | text | yes | The verb, as the reader says it |\n| `on` | `"record"` \\| `"rows"` \\| `"view"` | no | `rows` runs on the rows ticked in the register \u2014 with `of`, on the child rows ticked together in a rows block of the record;

A field an act computes by a `formula` is a starting value, which a person may change after. |\n| `act.writes` | `writes` stands beside `workflow` and names stored fields of the acted row, each once, that no `set` of the act and no other act over the rows states. |\n| `act.set-formula` | `set: { <field>: { formula } }` reads fields of the acted row and computes what the field holds \u2014 a number, a date, text or a yes/no, typed as the entity\'s own formulas are \u2014 never the status or a milestone; a bound a write rule holds the field to is checked on the computed value as the act runs. |\n| `act.of` | An act\'s `of` names a child the record lists in a rows block; it works on the one child row it is pressed on \u2014 or, `on: "rows"`, on the rows ticked together where the record lists that child as tasks \u2014 never on the rows in view. |\n| `act.writes-line-key` | An act never writes the link or the key naming an expected line under its record \u2014 a line\'s key is stated by filling it. |\n| `act.makes-or-runs` | An act makes a document (`template`, `templates`) or runs an authored `workflow`, never both \u2014 the workflow makes what it needs. |\n| `act.view` | An act over every row in view (`on: "view"`) writes (`set`), makes a document or runs a workflow, and states no `requires`. |\n| `act.requires-drawn` | Every field an act `requires` is drawn where the act stands \u2014 its section\'s fields, a block\'s, its asks, or an unstaged section\'s where its own is unstaged \u2014 never the header alone. |\n| `act.requires-written` | A field an act requires that only an act writes is written by an act offered together with it, or asked by the act itself. |\n| `act.recommends` | A field an act `recommends` is not also in its `requires`. |\n| `act.set` | `set` writes each field a value it holds \u2014 an option alias, a number, a yes/no, a text, `"now"` on a date, `"me"` on a member, `"input:<name>"` of an input the act asks of the same kind \u2014 or clears an optional one with `null`. |\n| `act.set-milestone` | An act stamps a milestone, never clears one \u2014 unticking clears it and every later one. |\n| `act.into` | `into` is a files field of the one record the act is pressed on, beside its `template` or `templates`. |\n| `act.templates` | `templates` names each template once, kept in `into`, on one record pressed alone \u2014 never beside `template`, `asks`, `of` or an `on` over several rows. |\n| `act.history-copy` | What a status move asks is copied onto the history\'s field of the same name, which holds the same kind of value. |\n| `act.intake` | `intake` names a child the record lists in a rows block that expects its title \u2014 a single select, the paper\'s kind \u2014 and is narrowed by no `where`, holding exactly one files field and needing nothing an added line does not fill; the act runs on one record, states `fills`, and states nothing but its `label`, `when` and `requires` beside them. |\n| `act.record` | `record` names a child the record draws in a timeline block or a rows block with no `expect`, `under` or `where`, linking back by one single link, whose row nothing requires beyond what the recording writes: `audio` and `video` its files fields, `transcript` a text field, `at` a date, `by` a member field, each a field of its own; the act runs on one record and states nothing but its `label`, `when`, `requires` and `fills` beside it. |\n| `act.fills` | `fills` names each once, only beside `intake` or `record`. Beside `record`, each is a field of the recording\'s row that the recording itself does not write, never a link. Beside `intake`: a field of the record, `<link>.<field>` on the row a required one-row link of the record names \u2014 never beside that link itself \u2014 or a child the record adds rows of in a rows block with no `expect`, `under` or `where` \u2014 its rows filled in the fields that block adds them with, among them every field an added row cannot be made without. Each field filled is one a person writes holding text, a number, a date, a yes/no, options or the one row a single link names, never a status, a milestone, a field an act writes or a link `same` narrows; a link\'s row is one of those the app reads of its entity. |\n| `act.fills-drawn` | *Noted, never refused:* A field `fills` writes that the record draws nowhere: the review shows the change, the record does not. |\n| `act.fills-new` | *Noted, never refused:* A child `fills` adds rows of, whose natural key the papers cannot state: every row read is added, so the same papers read twice list them twice. |\n| `act.input` | An input has a name of its own \u2014 never another ask\'s, a field\'s, or the record input its workflow takes \u2014 `options` exactly when it is a select, `entity` exactly when it is a link, and a `default` field holding what it states. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-act -->\n\nAn act whose `when` does not hold is not offered \u2014 each select named holding one of its\noptions, each yes/no named (stored, or a formula: a period that has ended) its `true` or\n`false`; every one that holds stands at the\nfoot of the section naming it in `acts` \u2014 a correction in that section heading\'s \u22EF, one\nof a child row on its row (a correction in the row\'s \u22EF). An act\'s `requires` are fields\nits section draws \u2014 its `fields`, a block\'s, the act\'s `asks`, or those of another section\nwith no `at` where its own has none; one shown only in the header or a staged section\nelsewhere is refused. One whose `requires` are\nempty is offered disabled, naming each; one whose `recommends` are empty names what\nit will leave blank and still presses; one a standing check blocks is offered\ndisabled in the check\'s words. The generated `act_<alias>` workflow re-checks all three on the\nserver, writes `set` and what was asked, and appends the status history where the\nact moves the status. `template` makes a document from the row and\nkeeps it in `into`; over several rows it makes one document of them all, the rows\nlisted under the entity\'s alias, and hands it back. `templates` instead names a set of\npapers kept in `into`, listed where the act stands \u2014 each made one as its file, each\nnot made yet as a placeholder \u2014 those whose `when` holds ticked to start; the press\nmakes the ticked ones (sent in `templates`), each replacing the file its template made\nbefore (the file whose `document_template_id` is that template \u2014 never a file a person\nput there), and the set downloads as one archive (`archive_<alias>`). A field an act asks is read-only everywhere else. A `select` input offers its own options and is written into\na select holding the same option aliases; a `link` input picks one row of its `entity`\nand a `member` input one person, each written into a field of its kind. A field an act\nboth `requires` and `asks` never disables the press \u2014 the act asks it, required.\n\n`on: "view"` runs on every row the register shows \u2014 its search, status and filters \u2014\neach row checked before any is written. `of` names a rows block\'s child entity: the\nact is offered on each child row (its menu and its drawer), its `when`, `requires`,\n`set` and checks are the child\'s, it runs on that row, and a check of the record that\nlocks the child rows locks it too. With `on: "rows"` it runs on the child rows ticked\ntogether in the record\'s task list (\xA7 Tasks) \u2014 every row checked before any is written;\nit is refused where the record lists no tasks of that child.\n\n`intake` reads papers: the press takes files, an agent (`act_<alias>` among the app\'s\nagents) reads them, and each is filed as the record\'s line of its kind in the named\nchild \u2014 that child\'s title \u2014 or a new line, its file in the child\'s one files field.\nWhat they state of each field `fills` names is shown beside what the row holds; the save\nwrites only what differs \u2014 the record\'s fields, `<link>.<field>` on the row a required\none-row link names, a child\'s rows (one found by the child\'s `natural_key` changed, else\nadded) \u2014 each refused as its own save is, and nothing written while one refuses. A single\nlink among them is filled with a row the agent finds through the app\'s read of the rows\nit may name \u2014 narrowed as its picker is \u2014 and an id naming no row of its entity is refused\nbefore the run ends; a link `same` narrows is not filled.\n\n```jsonc\n{ "alias": "read_papers", "label": "Read papers", "intake": "customer_paper", "fills": ["phone", "contact.email", "branch"] }\n```\n\n## Checks\n\n```jsonc\n"checks": [{ "field": "release_warning" }, { "field": "unpaid", "blocks": ["gate_out"] }, { "field": "locked", "blocks": ["edit"] }]\n```\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-checks -->\n\n#### Check\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `field` | alias | yes | A yes/no or text formula of the record (or of the child `of` names): true or non-empty means the check stands; its label is its short name on a row\'s line, and a text formula\'s words are the sentence the record and a tooltip say |\n| `of` | alias | no | A rows block\'s child entity this check is a formula of: standing on a child row, it refuses what it blocks of that row |\n| `blocks` | `"all"` \\| list of (alias \\| `"edit"` \\| `"delete"`) (at least one) | no | Acts, "edit" (the saves and the Delete), "delete" (the Delete alone) or "all" that the standing check refuses; absent, it only warns |\n| `resolve` | alias | no | An act of this app, on the rows the check stands on, that clears it: the check\'s line links to the act where it stands, and the act keeps its own conditions |\n\n<!-- generated:end apps-checks -->\n\n<!-- generated:start rules-check -->\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `check.field` | A check\'s `field` is a yes/no or text formula of the record, or of the child `of` names. |\n| `check.of` | A check\'s `of` names a child the record lists in a rows block. |\n| `check.not-placed` | A check\'s field is never also placed on the record \u2014 the line under the header says it. |\n| `check.blocks` | A check of the record blocks its acts, `"edit"`, `"delete"` or `"all"`; a check of a child blocks that row\'s saves, its Delete, the acts `of` that child, or all \u2014 never the record\'s acts. |\n| `check.resolve` | `resolve` names an act of this app on the rows the check stands on, pressed on one row, not refused by the check, and drawn as a button \u2014 never a correction. |\n| `check.restates-meter` | A warning reading a gated meter\'s figure against its bound or pass mark is refused \u2014 the meter draws it. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-check -->\n\nA check is a yes/no or text formula of the record: it stands while true or\nnon-empty, and a text formula\'s words are what the reader sees. Without `blocks`\nit warns; with them it refuses the acts named, `"edit"` the record\'s own saves (and\nits Delete), `"delete"` its Delete alone, or `"all"` \u2014 on the server, in every write it\nnames. A check `of` a rows block\'s child stands on each child row: it refuses that\nrow\'s saves (`edit`), its Delete (`delete`), the acts `of` that child it names, or\n`all` of them \u2014 never the record\'s acts. A warning reading the figure of a meter that\n`gates` marks against its bound or its pass mark is refused: the meter already draws it.\n\nThe check field\'s `label` is its short name \u2014 "Over budget", "Release expired": a row\'s\nline says it in the check\'s tone (the most severe of several, and how many more), while\nits words whole are the row\'s tooltip and stand under the record\'s header. So label it\nas the reader names the problem, in a few words, and let a text formula say the\nsentence. The compiler records the fields a formula reads: a row drawing each of them\nas a control says nothing of the check on its line (the empty control says it), and a\ncheck with no `resolve` links to the first of them the record draws.\n\n## What a run remembers\n\nThe WORKSPACE remembers what each entity, field, select option, role and\ntemplate alias became here, plus which record each first row landed on and the\nfile each document path was uploaded as. The model file itself holds no live id\n\u2014 it is the portable half, and the same file applies to a demo workspace and to\na customer\'s \u2014 so the join lives where the things it names live, and one model\napplied to two workspaces holds two bindings that know nothing of each other.\n\nIt is the workspace\'s and not the file\'s because a model file is never\ncommitted: memory kept beside it is one author\'s disk, absent for a teammate, on\na second machine or after a delete \u2014 and every one of those goes quietly back to\nbinding by label, which is what grows the second table.\n\nEvery later apply binds through it: it takes the remembered id first and falls\nback to a label only for an alias nothing has bound \u2014 a field you have just\nadded, or a workspace nothing has applied this model to. That is what makes a\nrelabel on EITHER side a rename rather than one thing the workspace lacks and\none the model lacks: `apply` binds the thing it has always meant and reports the\nmove \u2014 which side is right is yours to decide, not a reason to refuse the run.\n\nA bound target the workspace no longer holds IS a refusal, by name: re-binding\nto whatever carries that label today is how the model comes to point at\nsomebody else\'s table. On the CLI, `lotics run restore_table` puts a deleted table back.\n\n`lotics model pull` writes a workspace that already works as a model file \u2014 the\nstarting point for another business\'s model, never a source of truth: it carries\none business\'s words and stops describing that workspace the moment either\nchanges.\n\n## A complete model\n\n```json\n{\n "entities": [\n {\n "alias": "customer",\n "label": "Customers",\n "singular": "Customer",\n "fields": [\n { "alias": "name", "label": "Name", "type": "text", "required": true },\n { "alias": "logo", "label": "Logo", "type": "files" },\n {\n "alias": "tier",\n "label": "Tier",\n "type": "select",\n "options": [\n { "alias": "standard", "label": "Standard", "color": "slate" },\n { "alias": "gold", "label": "Gold", "color": "amber" }\n ],\n "default": ["standard"]\n },\n {\n "alias": "orders",\n "label": "Orders",\n "type": "select_record_link",\n "target_entity": "order",\n "cardinality": "many",\n "sync_both_ways": true,\n "paired_field_alias": "customer",\n "display_field_aliases": ["code"]\n },\n {\n "alias": "total_ordered",\n "label": "Total ordered",\n "type": "rollup",\n "source_field_alias": "orders",\n "aggregate_option": { "operation": "sum", "field_key": "amount" }\n }\n ],\n "views": [\n {\n "alias": "gold",\n "label": "Gold customers",\n "filters": {\n "node_type": "condition",\n "type": "select",\n "field_key": "tier",\n "operator": "has_any_of",\n "value": ["gold"]\n },\n "sort": [{ "field_key": "name", "order": "asc" }]\n }\n ]\n },\n {\n "alias": "order",\n "label": "Orders",\n "singular": "Order",\n "fields": [\n { "alias": "code", "label": "Order no.", "type": "text", "unique": true },\n { "alias": "placed_on", "label": "Placed on", "type": "date", "format": "date" },\n {\n "alias": "amount",\n "label": "Amount",\n "type": "number",\n "notation": { "style": "currency", "currency": "VND" }\n },\n {\n "alias": "total",\n "label": "Total with VAT",\n "type": "formula",\n "formula": { "expression": "{amount} * 1.1", "notation": { "style": "currency", "currency": "VND" } }\n },\n {\n "alias": "customer",\n "label": "Customer",\n "type": "select_record_link",\n "target_entity": "customer",\n "cardinality": "one",\n "sync_both_ways": true,\n "paired_field_alias": "orders",\n "display_field_aliases": ["name"]\n },\n { "alias": "note", "label": "Note", "type": "text" }\n ]\n }\n ],\n "roles": [{ "alias": "sales", "label": "Sales" }],\n "records": {\n "customer": { "title": "name", "image": "logo", "party": "organization", "figure": "total_ordered" },\n "order": { "title": "customer", "subtitle": ["code", "placed_on"], "figure": "amount", "starts": { "placed_on": "today" } }\n },\n "apps": [\n {\n "alias": "customers",\n "name": "Customers",\n "entity": "customer",\n "register": {\n "columns": ["tier"],\n "readings": [{ "breakdown": "customer", "by": "tier", "value": "total_ordered" }]\n },\n "record": {\n "sections": [\n { "title": "Account", "fields": ["tier"] },\n { "title": "Orders", "blocks": [{ "rows": "order", "columns": ["total"], "create": ["code", "amount"] }] }\n ]\n }\n },\n {\n "alias": "orders",\n "name": "Orders",\n "entity": "order",\n "register": {\n "filters": ["customer"],\n "create": ["code", "customer", "placed_on"],\n "readings": [{ "trend": "order", "over": "placed_on", "value": "amount" }]\n },\n "record": { "door": "drawer", "sections": [{ "title": "Order", "fields": ["note"] }] }\n }\n ],\n "rows": {\n "customer": [\n { "ref": "acme", "fields": { "name": "Acme Trading", "tier": "gold" } },\n { "ref": "bluebird", "fields": { "name": "Bluebird Foods", "tier": "standard" } }\n ],\n "order": [\n {\n "ref": "so_1001",\n "fields": {\n "code": "SO-1001",\n "placed_on": "@month-start+2",\n "amount": 4200000,\n "customer": "customer:acme"\n }\n },\n {\n "ref": "so_1002",\n "fields": {\n "code": "SO-1002",\n "placed_on": "@today-3",\n "amount": 1150000,\n "customer": "customer:bluebird"\n }\n }\n ]\n }\n}\n```\n\nEach app of this file, as its reader will see it:\n\n```\nApp customers \u2014 "Customers" over Customers (customer)\n Register \u2014 table (default), newest first (default)\n row [Logo] \xB7 Name \xB7 figure Total ordered\n columns Tier\n filters \u2014\n readings "Tier" \u2014 Total ordered summed per Tier, over the rows in view (default)\n add Name (default)\n Record \u2014 a drawer (default)\n header image Logo \xB7 title Name \xB7 figure Total ordered\n checks \u2014\n header \u22EF Delete\n sections 1.

Stated once per entity\n and read by every surface that draws one of its rows.\n- **Write rules** (\xA7 Write rules) \u2014 what a write finds, copies, bounds and picks among.\n- **Apps** (\xA7 Apps, then a page each: \xA7 Register, \xA7 Layouts, \xA7 Tabs, \xA7 Export, \xA7 Readings,\n \xA7 Dashboards, \xA7 Record page, \xA7 Blocks, \xA7 Reading blocks, \xA7 Tasks, \xA7 Acts, \xA7 Checks) \u2014 one\n register over one entity and the record each row opens: which fields go where, the acts,\n and the checks that guard them \u2014 or a dashboard of readings.\n How each thing LOOKS is the runtime\'s, one treatment per concept; no key here changes it.\n A screen the job needs and no key states is a `lotics report` \u2014 the job, what the model\n drew, the word wanted \u2014 never keys bent to approximate it.\n\n**The working order**\n\n1. Name the people and each one\'s JOB \u2014 the work they alone decide or write.\n2. The entities and fields those jobs touch, and a `records` entry for every entity an\n app lists, opens or picks.\n3. One app per job in `apps[]`, each one register over one entity.\n4. `lotics model apply model.json` \u2014 the file is checked first, every problem in one run;\n then the tables, then a new version of every app, live\n (`lotics setup model.json --email you@company.com` where no account exists yet).\n5. Change the file and apply it again; `lotics model pull -o model.json` writes what the\n workspace holds, and each apply of that file sends only what it changes. `apply_model` takes\n a `patch` in place of `model`: a JSON merge patch (RFC 7396) over the workspace\'s model, each\n list whose items carry an `alias` written as an object keyed by it \u2014\n `{ "apps": { "desk": { "acts": { "close": null } } } }` removes one act. A `null` removes only\n what an apply writes as the model states it \u2014 anything inside an app, a `records` entry\n (`"records": { "<entity>": null }`), a write rule, a field\'s `default` \u2014 and is refused\n anywhere else, a table, field, option, view, role, template or app among them; one naming\n nothing the model holds changes nothing. `get_model` with `app` reads one app and the\n entities it reads.\n Rolling an app back (`lotics run rollback_app`) restores its earlier version \u2014 table\n changes and data writes stay.\n\n## The rules\n\n- **At least one entity, at most 50.** More tables than that is a data model\n being designed, not applied \u2014 apply the rest in a second call.\n- **An existing table is adopted.** `lotics model apply` binds an entity whose `label`\n already names a table in the workspace, and adds the fields, options and\n views it is missing. No stored value is ever changed or deleted: a field it\n adopts takes the model\'s `default`, and the `notation` or date `format` it reads\n in, where that only relabels \u2014 a date\'s format and a unit converting its figures\n are left. A computed field\'s definition follows the model: a formula\'s expression,\n notation and options, a rollup\'s link, aggregation and filter, a\n lookup\'s link, field and order, and an autonumber\'s `template` (new rows only \u2014\n existing numbers keep theirs). `--plan` and the apply name each one that changes.\n Applying the same model twice changes nothing the second time.\n- **Renaming a field is `lotics run update_table`**, then the same label in this\n file; a table is deleted on the CLI by `lotics run delete_table`, or by a member\n in Lotics. Neither goes through the file (\xA7 What a run remembers).\n- **The file\'s own majority is the language.** A model names no locale \u2014 which\n language it is in is what it mostly says, and `model apply` notes the label\n written the other way. The generated screens read the kit\'s pack, and a\n generated WRITE cannot: its refusals run on the server, so they are worded in\n that same majority. Mix the two and the workspace answers in two languages.\n- **Rows land only where every bound table is empty.** One table already holding\n records and no rows are written anywhere: sample rows landing among a\n customer\'s real ones cannot be told apart from them.\n- **`lotics model apply` checks all of it before anything is written**, and\n reports every problem in one run rather than the first. Each section of this\n page ends its keys with the rules the check enforces there, one sentence each\n under an id; a finding names its rule\'s id (`[register.filter]`), and\n `model/<rule id>` is that one rule\'s page.\n\n<!-- generated:start rules-model -->\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `model.schema` | Every key is one its table lists, holding the type its row gives, and every required key is stated. |\n| `model.retired` | `field_roles`, `table_workflows` and `connections` are no longer part of a model: `records` states how a row is recognised, and an app\'s own writes do what a table automation did. |\n| `model.names-declared` | Every alias a key names is declared: an entity of this model, a field of the entity the key reads, an option of the select it names, an act of the app, a template or an app of this model. |\n| `model.tables` | A model declares at least one table and at most 50; apply the rest as a second model. |\n| `model.rows-cap` | Rows are a sample: at most 200 per entity, 2000 per model and 2000 documents attached \u2014 a real data set belongs in an import. |\n| `model.language` | *Noted, never refused:* A label or description written in the other language than the model\'s majority \u2014 with or without diacritics. |\n| `model.alias-unique` | An alias is unique where it is named: entities, roles and templates in the model, fields and views in their entity, options in their select. |\n| `model.label-unique` | A label is unique where apply finds it by label: entities, roles and templates in the model, fields and views in their entity, options in their select \u2014 and no view takes its entity\'s own label, which names the whole-table grid apply makes. |\n| `model.template-sha` | A template\'s `content_sha256`, where stated, is the 64-character lowercase hex sha256 of its content. |\n| `model.template-kind` | An act\'s paper and a register\'s `export` are made from an html or an excel template, never an email one. |\n| `model.template-act` | *Refused until adopted or declined:* In a model stating apps none of whose acts runs an authored `workflow`, every html or excel template is made by an act (`template`, `templates`) or filled by a register\'s `export` \u2014 the patch adds the act to the app over the entity whose fields it prints most. |\n| `model.filter` | A filter \u2014 a view\'s, a rollup\'s \u2014 tests fields of the entity it reads, through links as `entity.field` hops each standing on the entity the last lands on, by options its select declares. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-model -->\n\n## Top level\n\nEvery table of keys on this page is generated from the schema `model apply`\nparses the file with, so it is the whole of what a key may hold.\n\n<!-- generated:start top-level -->\n\n#### Model file\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `entities` | list of [Entity](#entity) | yes | The tables this model creates, with their fields, options and views |\n| `roles` | list of [Role](#role) | no | Workspace groups to create; members are added to them afterwards |\n| `templates` | list of [Template](#template) | no | Document templates: html and email inline, excel made from an uploaded workbook |\n| `rows` | map of alias \u2192 list of [Row](#row) | no | First records, keyed by entity alias \u2014 written only where every table they land in is empty |\n| `records` | map of alias \u2192 [Record](#record) \\| `null` | no | How a row of each entity is recognised, keyed by entity alias.

Aliases are how the file cross-references\nitself; they are never shown to anyone. `label` is what a person sees.\n\nLabels must be unique within their namespace \u2014 two entities, two fields on one\nentity, two options on one field, two views on one entity, two roles or two\ntemplates cannot share a label, because `apply` matches by label.\n\n## Entity\n\n<!-- generated:start entity -->\n\n#### Entity\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `alias` | alias | yes | Stable entity alias, unique within the contract |\n| `label` | text | yes | The table\'s name in the workspace, which apply names it |\n| `singular` | text | no | One row of this table, in the business\'s own words \u2014 what a create\'s button and panel name |\n| `description` | text | no | The table\'s description, written onto the table in the workspace |\n| `writes` | `false` | no | false: no app opens or edits this table\'s rows.

A set of one text field is that field\'s own `unique:\ntrue`, so it is refused here. A create carries each set in the names its panel\nsends, so the panel can name the duplicate before the write does.\n\n**`singular` is what a create says** \u2014 `New Order`, `Add Claim line`, `H\u1ED3 s\u01A1\nm\u1EDBi` \u2014 while `label` names the table, so without it the button reads `New\nOrders`. Nothing derives it: English plurals are irregular, and no language is\nexempt. In a language without plural forms it is usually the label itself,\nless any word for the collection. `model apply` REFUSES a model where a table\nsome create opens \u2014 a register\'s own, or a record section\'s add \u2014 states none.\n\n**`writes: false` says no app opens, edits or files these rows** \u2014 a log of what\nthe system sent, a copy of what another system holds. A record listing them\nkeeps the section and opens each row at rest, with no Add; a screen over the\nentity operates at most the rows its record owns; a party of it is picked, never\nfound or minted; and the generator writes no create and no update for it, and\nnever notes it as created nowhere. It shapes the apps, not who may write: a\ndirect write \u2014 the records API, the chat agent, an import \u2014 follows the table\'s\naccess, as on any table. A `lifecycle` on it is refused \u2014 a row walked\nthrough stages is worked by a person \u2014 and so is a publish desk over it. Absent,\napps open and edit the rows; `true` is not a value.\n\n**`read_scope` is a ROW rule, enforced by the platform.** It is resolved at\napply into the table\'s own row filters, so an app, a workflow reading for a\nviewer, and the API all answer the same rows \u2014 a per-record visibility field the\napp merely honours is a convention, not a gate. A `"self"` clause reads a column\nof one member or several, and every role alias and option alias a clause names\nmust be one this model declares. `apply` writes the rule onto a table it\nCREATES; a table it adopted that ALREADY CARRIES a rule keeps that one, because\nthe rule is the workspace\'s own statement about its rows \u2014 and a run whose model\nstates a different rule reports the entity rather than leaving the claim silent.\n\n**An app may state that its sharing is its read gate: `"reads": "shared"`.** An\napp reads as its owner, so the rule reaches a viewer only as the predicate every\nquery and editor guard of every app over the entity carries \u2014 right for a desk of\none\'s own rows, wrong for a desk whose audience its sharing already decides, where\nwidening the rule meant a role group nobody remembers to fill. Stated on an APP,\nits queries, pickers and guards carry no entity\'s rule and whoever the app is\nshared with reads and writes every row it draws; every other app and the table\'s\nown filters keep the rule. Share it deliberately. Refused on an app none of whose\ntables states a `read_scope`.\n\n**The rows under a private record INHERIT its rule.** An entity that states no\n`read_scope` and hangs under one that does \u2014 through its `parent` link, over one\nhop or several \u2014 is read by the ancestor\'s rule, answered through that link, on\nits table\'s own filters and in every query and guard alike; nothing is restated,\nso a child needs none of the ancestor\'s columns. Stating a rule on the child\nkeeps that one instead, an ancestor with no rule passes nothing down, and a row\nhanging further under the scoped one than a row filter reaches is refused by\nname \u2014 state a rule on it. So is a hop over a link that names more than one row:\nthe rule would admit a reader any one of them admits while the editor\'s guard\nreads the first, so give the link `"cardinality": "one"` or state a rule on the\nchild.\n\n**ONLY the `parent` role is walked.** A register a scoped record reaches by any\nother link \u2014 the rows that NAME it \u2014 is read by that record\'s id with no rule\ntravelling to it, so it is refused until it states one of its own.\n\n## Field\n\nEvery field carries the keys below, and its `type`\'s section adds the rest; a\ntype whose section names no `default` takes none. `label` may not contain `{` or\n`}` (formulas reference fields by label at the platform level). Every row in `rows` states each\n`required` field it carries (a default is not applied to them), and a required\nLINK is written with its row: the entity it names is created first, and entities\nwhose required links name each other are refused, since none of their rows could\never be created.\n\n<!-- generated:start field -->\n\n#### Field\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `type` | `"text"` \\| `"number"` \\| `"date"` \\| `"boolean"` \\| `"select"` \\| `"select_member"` \\| `"select_record_link"` \\| `"files"` \\| `"formula"` \\| `"rollup"` \\| `"lookup"` \\| `"autonumber"` | yes | What the field holds \u2014 each type takes the further keys its own section lists |\n| `alias` | alias | yes | Stable local alias, unique within the entity |\n| `label` | text | yes | The field\'s name in the workspace, which apply names it |\n| `description` | text | no | The field\'s description, written onto the field in the workspace |\n| `required` | boolean | no | Refuse a record whose cell for this field is empty.

A currency or unit read on each row from a single select of that row is { "per_row": that select }. Omitted, a decimal. |\n\n<!-- generated:end field-number -->\n\n`notation` is how the number reads, and every surface reads it:\n`{ "style": "currency", "currency": "USD" }` prints as money in its code,\n`{ "style": "unit", "unit": "kg" }` as a quantity with its unit after it,\n`{ "style": "unit", "unit": "percent" }` as a percent \u2014 10 is "10%", never\nmultiplied \u2014 and `{ "style": "decimal" }`, or no notation, as a plain number. One\nkey, so a figure reads one way.\n\nThe keys `notation` replaced \u2014 `format`, `currency`, `unit`, `unit_field` and\n`currency_field`, on a number or in a formula, and a formula\'s `format: "link"`\nfor `link: true` \u2014 are no longer read. A field stating them naming another\nreading than its `notation` (a decimal, where it states none) is refused, and the\nfinding names the `notation` to write in their place: `"format": "currency",\n"currency": "USD"` becomes `"notation": { "style": "currency", "currency": "USD" }`.\nWrite `notation`.\n\nAn ABSENT number is drawn absent \u2014 the one exception is a\n`sum` or count rollup the plan reads as a **`measure`**: that is the thing\naccumulated toward a bound, so nothing accumulated yet is zero and the meter\ndraws it. The same rollup read as an `amount` keeps its blank, and so does every\nother role: nothing added to what a row is WORTH means unpriced, not free. A\nformula reading only such sums and counts, and reading zero where each does\n(`{received} - {refunded}`), is one too. A `min`, an `avg`, a percentage of\nnothing and every other formula stay blank in any role, because none of them has\nan answer to give. This is why the pair on one\nscreen reads two ways \u2014 what has come in against what is owed \u2014 and why a\nmeasure\'s own LIMIT, an amount, leaves an unquoted row out of the count rather\nthan reporting it as nothing collected. **AND WHERE THAT LIMIT IS ABSENT \u2014 OR\nZERO \u2014 THERE IS NO LEVEL AT ALL**: a level is a reading AGAINST a bound, so a row\nthat states no bound, or a bound of nothing, draws nothing \u2014 cell, fact and all \u2014\nrather than a numerator whose whole meaning was the comparison. "Collected 0"\nbeside a blank total reads as money against a job worth nothing, and "0 of 0"\nagainst a count of nothing owed claims a comparison nobody can make. A measure the model gives no limit is a plain figure\nand is unaffected. A share is stored in percent units \u2014 68.1 is 68.1 % \u2014 and the\ncolumn, the fact behind it, the meter it is judged by and the figure over the\nregister all say so.\n\nA unit \u2014 `{ "style": "unit", "unit": "kg" }` \u2014 is what a figure counts or\nmeasures; `percent` aside, it is measured or counted. A **measured** unit is a code of one catalog \u2014 mass `g`\n`kg` `t`, volume `l` `m3` `cbm` (a cubic metre under freight\'s name), length\n`mm` `cm` `m` `km`, area `m2`, duration `min` `h` `day` \u2014 so a figure typed in\nanother unit of its dimension converts (`12,5 t` into a `kg` field is 12 500),\nand a tile or a chart reads it in the largest unit it reaches (12 500 kg as\n12,5 t\u1EA5n; CBM never scales) while a cell, a fact and a column always read in the\nfield\'s own. Any other noun of at most 12 characters (`ki\u1EC7n`, `pallet`, `TEU`) is a\n**counted** unit: a word after the figure that never converts. A measured unit is\nwritten as its code \u2014 `t\u1EA5n`, `KG` or `m\xB3` is refused, naming the code. A formula\nstates its own in `formula.notation`; a rollup that keeps the value (`sum`, `avg`,\n`median`, `min`, `max`, `range`) and a lookup carry the unit of the figure they\nread, exactly as they carry a currency, and a count carries none. A quantity is a\nnumber with its unit, never words (`3 cartons` in a text field): only a number\nsums, converts and reads down a column.\n\nA field\'s cells always hold figures in its own unit, so moving it between two\nunits of one dimension (`kg` to `t`) converts every stored figure \u2014 a change made\nin the workspace, in the field\'s settings (which say how many first) or through\n`lotics run update_table`. `model apply` never makes it: the model states the\nworkspace\'s unit until then. Any other change of unit\nrelabels.\n\nA figure whose unit or currency varies by row names a single select of its own\nrow as `per_row` \u2014 `{ "style": "unit", "unit": { "per_row": "uom" } }`,\n`{ "style": "currency", "currency": { "per_row": "currency" } }` \u2014 or a lookup of\none through a one-link, a line reading its shipment\'s currency. That select\'s\noptions are the vocabulary: each label a unit (`chi\u1EBFc`, `kg`), or an ISO 4217 code\n(`USD`). A label outside it is refused when the figure is written and when the\nselect is \u2014 its options, its type or its deletion while a figure names it. A row\nwhose select is empty reads its figure bare. Every app reads each row\'s figure in\nits own row\'s unit, and a sum never mixes units: totals are one per unit, a\nchart draws one at a time. A rollup that keeps the value (`sum`, `avg`, `min`\u2026)\nover such a figure stands only where the child\'s select is a lookup, through\nthe rollup\'s own link, of a select on this entity \u2014 the rollup reads that\nselect\'s unit; otherwise it is refused, as is any lookup of such a figure (its\nunit lives on the other row). A count is unaffected. Moving a field between a\nfixed and a per-row unit relabels.\n\n### `date`\n\n<!-- generated:start field-date -->\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `default` | text | no | Value pre-filled into a new record when none is supplied for this field.

The mirror invariant belongs to a PAIRED\nlink: pair a link when the target\'s own record should list what points at it, and\nleave it unpaired when it should not.

A formula declaring no `output_type`, `notation` or `link` says nothing\nabout its result, and every rule that needs one refuses it by name. A formula stating\n`options` is a computed category: read-only, and read as a single select\nwherever it is drawn \u2014 a column, a filter, a reading\'s `by` or `where`.\n\n**A select reaches a formula as the KEYS of its chosen options**, a list \u2014\nnever their labels, and never their aliases \u2014 and a model has no keys: the\nworkspace mints them when the table is made. So an option is named in a formula\nas `{field:option}`, both aliases, and the copy writes that option\'s key in its\nplace: `includes({kind}, {kind:crate})` for a select holding one or several,\n`{kind}[0] == {kind:crate}` for a single one. A select compared to its own words\n(`{kind} != "Crate"`) matches no row and computes the other branch everywhere,\nso the check refuses it and names the token. A select looked up from another\nentity is tested there, in a formula of its own, and that result looked up.\n\n**The language.** The offline check and the platform compute a formula with one\nengine, and the check refuses a call or a name it cannot run, naming what to write:\n\n<!-- generated:start field-formula-language -->\n\n- Operators: `+ - * / %`, `== != > < >= <=`, `&& || !`; `+` also joins text\n- Conditionals: a ternary only \u2014 `{amount} > 100 ? "High" : "Low"`\n- Not supported: optional chaining (`?.`), nullish coalescing (`??`), template literals, arrow functions \u2014 use `get(obj, "path", default)`, `coalesce(v1, v2)`\n- Helpers are these names, spelled exactly; a spreadsheet function (`IF`, `SUM`, `LEN`, `DATEDIF`) is none of them, and a formula calling one is refused\n- Math: round(n,decimals?), ceil(n), floor(n), abs(n), min(a,b), max(a,b), sum(arr), mean(arr), clamp(n,min,max), percentage(part,total,decimals?), pow(base,exp), sqrt(n), mod(n,divisor)\n- Strings: upper(s), lower(s), trim(s), capitalize(s), length(s), contains(s,search), join(arr,sep), split(s,sep), replace(s,search,rep), replaceAll(s,search,rep), startsWith(s,prefix), endsWith(s,suffix), substring(s,start,end?), padStart(s,len,char), padEnd(s,len,char), numberToWords(n, lang?)

Test it with `isEmpty({note})` \u2014 `{note} == ""` and `{done} == false` are false on an unset cell\n- Arithmetic over an empty cell: `+` and `-` read it as 0 beside a value (`{fee} + {surcharge}` is `{fee}` when the surcharge is empty, null when both are); `*`, `/`, `%` and a unary `-` yield null (`{price} * {qty}` is null, not 0, when the quantity is empty)\n- No helper throws on an empty cell: the math helpers and toNumber return null, the string helpers "". A value of the wrong type still errors. When EVERY field a formula reads is empty it is null \u2014 unless it reads each only as the argument of isEmpty, isNull or isNotNull (`!isEmpty({file})` is false there, not null)\n\n<!-- generated:end field-formula-language -->\n\n### `rollup`\n\nAggregates the records reached through a link on this entity.\n\n<!-- generated:start field-rollup -->\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `source_field_alias` | alias | yes | Alias of a select_record_link field on this entity to roll up from |\n| `aggregate_option` | [aggregation](#rollup) | yes | Aggregation operation.

where the workspace\'s files are known, the field holding images is the picture, a figure or not. |\n| `records.history-note` | *Noted, never refused:* A record, never a task, whose stored status an act of its app moves, with no `history`: when a row entered each status and who moved it is kept nowhere. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-records -->\n\n- **The title names the row** by who or what it is \u2014 a link by the linked row (a job\n read by its customer). An autonumber is refused as a title; a typed number is the\n subtitle.\n- **The status** is one single select. `closed` options end the work: a register opens\n on the rows not in them. A `history` entity gets one row per move \u2014 its link to this\n entity, the new status (a select holding the same option aliases, or text), the\n moment and who \u2014 appended by the app\'s own writes that move the status, never by a\n table automation. A `history` the model does not declare is derived, and needs no\n `records` entry of its own.\n- **Milestones** are the alternative to a stored select: dates in the order the work\n reaches them, the stage being the last one filled (never stored). A milestone with a\n `when` applies only while its select holds those options and its stored yes/no that\n value; otherwise the row skips it.\n The record draws them as one block where ticking stamps today and clearing one clears\n every later one; every save and act re-checks that a date comes after each earlier one\n that applies. `closed` names the milestones that end the work. A register\'s add may ask\n the first milestone, never a later one; an act may stamp one, never clear it.\n- **A limit** reads a number against a bound \u2014 another field of the row, or a constant.\n A `gates` entry marks a pass on that meter: a percent field is its share of the\n bound, any other number an amount.\n- **A deadline** (`due`) counts down wherever it is drawn and is overdue once past while\n the work is open. A register over the entity says how many rows in view are overdue on\n its summary line, and pressing that count narrows to them \u2014 no reading to state.\n- **A span\'s free day** (`frees`) is the end date on which what the row held is free\n again \u2014 a check-out, a hire\'s return. A stay from the 3rd to the 5th holds two nights:\n a lanes board, a calendar and a roster draw it through the 4th, and `no_overlap` lets\n the next stay start on the 5th. Without it a span of days holds its last day; a span of\n moments always ends as the next may begin.\n- **`starts`** is where an add\'s field begins, stated only where that is certain \u2014 a\n log\'s own day at `today`, a request\'s requester at `me`. Nothing else starts a field\n but its declared `default` and what the reader narrowed the register to.\n\n## Write rules\n\n`write_rules` is what a WRITE meets, keyed by entity alias; each entity\'s is held\nby its table. Every generated write of an\napp (`create_<entity>`, `update_<entity>`, each act) re-checks these on the\nserver; the screen only mirrors them.\n\n```jsonc\n"write_rules": {\n // A customer is RECOGNISED by their address.

It narrows the picker\'s read and is refused again where the write lands. |\n| `same` | list of alias (at least one) | no | One-row links this row and each row this link points at must name alike \u2014 a fee\'s invoice is one of its own visit\'s, a box\'s seal one of its own shipping line\'s: each a one-row link of both entities to the same entity.

A key holding a `text` field is unique: `unique:\n true` on that field, or the key\'s fields as a set in the entity\'s `unique` (a\n site by its customer and its name) \u2014 two rows sharing it would make\n find-or-create pick whichever the read answered first. An add asks the key by\n default.\n- A `min` or `max` naming a field is read off the row as the save would leave it,\n and one naming `<link>.<field>` off the row the link names \u2014 the link\'s side\n re-checks its own rows when that bound moves.\n- A `default_from` copies where the add is sure to hold its link\'s row \u2014 a\n required link, or the record the row is added under (an appointment added under a\n plan takes the plan\'s patient) \u2014 and the two field types match. The copied field is\n not asked there; through an optional link the add leaves empty, it is asked.\n- A `same` link names only rows that name what this row names \u2014 a fee\'s invoice\n is one of its own visit\'s \u2014 through a one-row link both entities hold to one\n entity; its picker offers nothing until the row names one. A row added under a\n record names what it copies off it (`default_from`) from the start, so a block\n expecting one line per row of the link lists that record\'s rows alone. A save\n moving what the two compare, on either row, is refused while they would name apart.\n- An `options_where` link may be left empty; a row it names is refused again\n where the write lands unless it holds the narrowing. A link naming one kind of\n a book\'s rows (a "Shipping line" among the parties) narrows to that kind, or\n its picker offers every row.\n\nA field\'s own `required` is not here: the contract carries it, and every write\npath refuses the row by field name from it. `unique` is the text field\'s own\nclause (\xA7 `text`) \u2014 an add says so at the control before the column does. A\nfield the workspace writes (a formula, a rollup, a lookup, an autonumber, a date\nwith `derive_from`) is never asked, written or edited.\n\n## Apps\n\nAn app is ONE register over one entity and the record each row opens \u2014 or a dashboard\nof readings. The author states COMPOSITION \u2014 which fields go where; the runtime owns\nhow each thing looks, one treatment per concept. Nothing is drawn that the app does not\nname, and each fact appears once on a record. What the vocabulary has no word for is an\nact\'s own `workflow`.\n\n```jsonc\n"apps": [{\n "alias": "gate", "name": "Gate in and out", "entity": "visit",\n "register": { "columns": ["service"], "filters": ["customer", "service"] },\n "record": {\n "sections": [\n { "title": "In", "fields": ["customer", "service"], "blocks": [{ "rows": "fee", "columns": ["amount"] }] },\n { "title": "Out", "at": ["in_yard"], "fields": ["release", "seal"], "blocks": [{ "files": ["photos"] }], "acts": ["gate_out"] }\n ]\n },\n "acts": [{ "alias": "gate_out", "label": "Gate out", "when": { "stage": ["in_yard"] },\n "requires": ["release", "seal"], "set": { "stage": "gone", "left_on": "now" }, "confirm": true }],\n "checks": [{ "field": "unpaid", "blocks": ["gate_out"] }]\n}]\n```\n\nThe keys below are the app\'s own.

Each book holds the title, the status, the folder (`scope`), what `where` keeps and every check locking the rows; the register is a table or cards. Two books holding a field of their own under one alias hold it as one kind of value. A report\'s `books` each name the app\'s entity or one of its books, once, and one of them holds each field its `where` and `per` narrow by. `register.book` reads a register that has books. |\n| `app.book-option-kin` | *Noted, never refused:* A book\'s option labelled as one of the app\'s, under another alias, reads apart from it: the register lists both and counts each on its own. |\n| `app.book-lacks` | *Noted, never refused:* A book lacking a field the app\'s record, an act or an add reads: what reads it drops from the book\'s rows \u2014 an act, a block, a section, the add. A field only a report prints, held by a book as another kind of value, prints blank on its rows. |\n| `app.row` | An app\'s `row` states only what differs from `records`: a line that is not the title, a number for its figure, a files picture no act makes documents into. |\n| `app.files-shown` | Every files field is drawn by some app over its entity \u2014 a section\'s `fields`, a `files` block, a column, the `image`, or where an act making its papers into it (`into`) stands, a section naming the act: the made paper reads under the act, one per template. |\n| `app.tasks` | *Noted, never refused:* A task entity an app lists whose rows no write of the app moves to a closed option (its ring stands disabled), or that an act ticks done and none moves back. |\n| `app.declines` | `declines` names decided rules that fire on the app, each with why the app stays as it is: by id, and `records.picture:<entity>` and `model.template-act:<template>`, said once per entity and per template, with what they fire on. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-app -->\n\n`writes: "children"` is a desk that adds and edits a record\'s child rows and never\nthe record itself. `reads: "shared"` lifts every read scope the app\'s tables state \u2014\nrefused where none of them states one.\n\n`scope` names a required one-row link of the entity: the app works inside ONE row of\nthe linked entity at a time \u2014 a project, a branch, a season. With no folder remembered\nit opens on the list of them, each with how many of the app\'s rows it holds; inside,\nevery read, count and reading narrows to that one, an add files its row under it (the\nlink is never asked), and the record states its folder in the header. A scope narrows\nthe view; who may read what stays the entity\'s `read_scope`. The folder link is never a\ncolumn, a filter, a search field, a fact or an add\'s question.\n\nAn app whose job reads its rows otherwise than the entity\'s `records` restates them in\nits own `row` \u2014 the cashier\'s figure is what is still owed, its line the service and the\nday. The subtitle, figure and image it states replace the entity\'s wherever that app\ndraws a row of it; every other app reads `records`, and the title is the entity\'s.\n\n### Declines\n\nA rule the check marks *Refused until adopted or declined* is a treatment the apply requires unless the app\ndeclines it. The apply refuses an app missing one and hands it a patch stating it: merge the patch, or state in the app\'s `declines`\nwhy the app stays as it is, under the key the finding names \u2014 the rule\'s id, or `records.picture:<entity>` and\n`model.template-act:<template>` with what they fire on. A decline naming a rule that is not decided, or one no\nrows of the model could fire, is refused. Only the apply\'s check reads `declines`; the app never does.

A number filters by a range typed in its\nunit or currency \u2014 a figure read in each row\'s own, in the one picked beside it \u2014 with a\nslider over a percent or a figure against a constant `limits`; `{ "field", "tiers" }`\noffers the bands its breakpoints cut in place of a range (`[1000, 5000]` on a weight in\nkg: under 1.000 kg, 1.000\u20135.000 kg, 5.000 kg and over), refused on a figure read in each\nrow\'s own unit.

Both take\na select\'s options or a yes/no\'s value, stored or a formula; `opens` on the status is\nthe chips\' opening choice. `opens` also takes `"me"` on a member field \u2014 `"opens": {\n"assignee": "me" }` opens on the rows assigned to whoever reads, the server reading the\nreader, never the page; `where` refuses it, since it fixes the rows for every reader\n(who may read a row at all is the entity\'s `read_scope`).\n\nHow the rows are laid out is \xA7 Layouts, tabs over a period \xA7 Tabs, the report \xA7 Export, and the band above\nthe rows \xA7 Readings.\n\n## Layouts\n\n`layout` is how the register draws its rows \u2014 one of the pages below; absent, a table. Each reads what the\nrows already state (their `records` line, status and dates), and the keys a layout adds stand on its page.\nWhich one a job needs: the `design` reference.\n\n### Table\n\nAbsent `layout`, each row is one line: the entity\'s `records` entry \u2014 its picture, title and the line under it\n\u2014 then the status, the `columns`, and the figure at the right; the title, the status and a column of days or\namounts sort the rows by their header. A table groups its rows by `group` (a gantt draws it as its lanes); a\ntable or cards reads `tabs` and `books`.\n\n### Cards\n\n`layout: "cards"` draws each row as a card led by its picture \u2014 the `records` `image`, or the app\'s\n`row.image`: its title and the line under it, its status and what needs the reader (a deadline, a warning),\nthen its figure and the register\'s `columns` at its foot. Cards are for rows found by their picture (a\nproduct, a vehicle, a damage photo); rows with no picture read better as a table.\n\n### Calendar\n\n`layout: "calendar"` places each row on its day \u2014 a month, a week, a day or a list (a\nphone reads the list or a day): at its hour where the date holds one, over its span\nwhere the row\'s line holds a second date after it, its line\'s other words and the\nregister\'s `columns` after its title. The calendar reads the window in view, and its\ncount and the status chips count that window, opening on every row.\n\n### Lanes\n\n`layout: "lanes"` with `lanes` naming a one-link draws each row of the linked entity as\na lane (a chair, a machine, a room), empty ones too, and each register row as a block\nfrom the first date on its line to the second: over the hours of one day where the first\nholds its hour, else over the days of one day, a week or a month. A block reads the row\'s\nname and the first of its `columns`; a free stretch between blocks adds a row there, its\nlane and its start set, and its end where the next block bounds it. A phone lists each\nlane\'s blocks and free stretches in clock order. Rows naming no lane stand first, in a lane\nof their own; where the app writes the link, each block moves to another lane from its menu.\nInside a folder (`scope`), the lanes are the ones whose own one-link names that folder \u2014 a\nbranch\'s rooms, never every branch\'s. A span\'s end holds its day unless `records` names it\nthe day the row `frees`.\n\n`loads` names what a lane carries: `{ "weight": "payload", "volume": "box" }` sums each\nblock\'s number and reads it against the lane row\'s own, at most two. A lane holds its\nblocks while they stand, so it reads the most they add up to at one time in the window \u2014\na day\'s rows together \u2014 named, past its bound, by how much and on which day or at which\nhour. The two are in one unit, or two of one dimension (kg against t); a block then reads\nwhat it adds, and the move menu reads each lane as it would stand with the block on it.\nA bound a single row must keep (no parcel heavier than its van) is a `write_rules` `max`\nthrough the link, which refuses the move.\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-lanes -->\n\n#### Lanes keys\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `lanes` | alias | no | With `layout: "lanes"`: a one-link of this entity whose target\'s rows are the lanes (a chair, a machine, a room), each drawn even when empty.

The bars stand in the lanes of the register\'s `group`. Where the app writes the\nrow and a person writes a bar\'s date, the bar is dragged through the row\'s save, which then\nwrites those two dates though no section places them; a computed date, one an act sets, or\nan app with `writes: "children"` drags nothing.\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-gantt -->\n\n#### Gantt keys\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `gantt` | [Gantt bar](#gantt-bar) | no | With `layout: "gantt"`: the dates and facts each row\'s bar is drawn from |\n\n#### Gantt bar\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `start` | alias | yes | A date of this entity each row\'s bar starts at (a sailing, a hire\'s start, a task\'s start) |\n| `end` | alias | no | The date each row\'s bar ends at, read as `start` is \u2014 two days or two moments; absent, the entity\'s first `due` |\n| `milestones` | list of alias (at least one) | no | Dates of the row marked on its bar\'s line as diamonds, each named by its label (a cut-off, a delivery, the end of free time) \u2014 never `start` or `end` |\n| `planned` | [Gantt plan](#gantt-plan) | no | The plan each row is read against, drawn as a thin bar under its own \u2014 each date read as `start` is; a missing one is the bar\'s own |\n| `progress` | alias | no | A percent of this entity (0\u2013100) filling each row\'s bar as far as the work is done; absent, the bar wears its status\'s tone |\n| `after` | alias | no | A link of this entity to its own rows each row waits on \u2014 it starts once they end (finish-to-start), an arrow from each; a row starting before one ends is drawn in the danger tone |\n\n#### Gantt plan\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `start` | alias | no | The date the row was planned to start at |\n| `end` | alias | no | The date the row was planned to end at (a booked arrival) |\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `register.gantt` | `layout: "gantt"` and `gantt` go together: `start` and `end` (absent, the entity\'s first `due`) are two different dates of the row, both days or both moments; each milestone another date of it, each planned date read as `start` is, `progress` a percent and `after` a link to rows of the same entity. |\n\n<!-- generated:end apps-gantt -->\n\n### Roster\n\n`layout: "roster"` draws the register\'s rows down the side and the days of a week or a\nmonth across; `roster` names the entity whose rows fill the days \u2014 each stands on one\nregister row by its single link to it, and on the first date of its line (a shift on a\nperson\'s day, a run on a vehicle\'s), on every day through the second date where its line\nholds one. A cell reads its row\'s status, else the first single select on its line (a\nshift\'s kind), several rows their count; a week\'s cells say their words and one more\nfact of the line, a month\'s keep their marks. A day holding none stays empty: nothing\nwas due, which is never an absence. A filled cell opens its row; an empty one adds a row\nthere, the register row and the day set, asking what any add of it asks \u2014 unless no\napp writes those rows (`writes: false`). With `expect` (a single select of those\nrows) the columns are its options in place of days \u2014 a checklist of papers \u2014 and `of`\n(this entity\'s multi-select) names the ones each row expects: a gap among them reads as\none and adds its row, the others stand blank, and each row reads what it holds of them,\n`2/3`.

A metric summing a value `limits` bounds reads against the\nsum of its bound (`10 / 14`); `target` reads one against a number nothing bounds. A\nmetric\'s change is green where it moves the good way: a sum\'s rise, a count kept by\n`where` falling; `better` states the other way where that reads wrong \u2014 money going out\n(`"better": "down"`). A register reads only its own entity; a `list` stands only on a\ndashboard.\n\n`readings` read the register\'s own rows above them: the rows in view, so the search,\nthe status and the filters narrow each one, but a picture\'s own field, which it reads as\nthe register opens on it. A table, cards or a gantt over rows that move or carry money states\nthem (`register.headline`); elsewhere they stand where a picture answers something the rows\ncannot. They stand under the title in one compact\nband: lead with the job\'s headline number (a `metric`), then at most the mix (a\n`breakdown`) and the movement (a `trend`) \u2014 a `pivot` stands under the band as a whole table, every line and its totals. A picture\nstands only where it splits the rows in view into two parts or more, one of them\nholding two rows or more; a split whose rows\nall fall in one part, and a lone figure with no picture beside it, are said on the\nsummary line instead, so a band stands only holding a picture or two figures. The summary line already totals the\nfigure over the rows in view and the status chips count them, so a `metric` summing the\nfigure, or counting the rows of an entity with a status, is refused unless its `where`\nnarrows it.\n\n## Dashboards\n\nA dashboard is `{ "alias", "name", "dashboard": [readings] }` with no entity, register\nor record: each reading reads every row of its entity, and one period the reader\nswitches (this month \xB7 30 days \xB7 this quarter \xB7 this year) windows each reading placed\nin time; one placed in no time reads the rows as they stand now, and its head says so.\n`period` is the one the switch opens on \u2014 `"quarter"` for a desk read early in a month,\nwhen the month so far holds next to nothing; absent, this month.\nA `list` reading lists rows, each opening in its `app`.

It never locks what the section holds: its fields are written as the write rules and checks allow at any stage. An act it names is offered during these alone: its `when` holds the status to them, or on milestones it stamps the step after one of them \u2014 a detour and an exit are sections of their own, a detour stated before the step it returns to |\n| `fields` | list of alias (at least one) | no | The record\'s own fields in this section, in the order they are read \u2014 never one the header draws: the row\'s title, subtitle, image, status or figure |\n| `blocks` | list of [block](#blocks) (at least one) | no | What the section holds besides its own fields, under them, in order |\n| `acts` | list of alias (at least one) | no | Acts of this app drawn under the section\'s fields, their asks as more of them and what each lacks said above its button; the header draws no act, so every act of the record itself is named by one section \u2014 an act of a child (`of`) stands on the child\'s row and is never named here. An act moving the status, offered at ONE step (the stage its `when` holds), stands at that step\'s foot when it moves the work forward \u2014 to a later option, an exit too \u2014 or back to a step the work passes anyway; one offered at several steps, or moving back into a detour, stands in the section it enters, which draws it while the work waits \u2014 an exit\'s in the header\'s \u22EF, since an exit stands only once the record is in it. A correction \u2014 `danger` and not one of its step\'s outcomes (no other status move offered at the same moment) \u2014 waits in the section heading\'s \u22EF, and one no section names in the header\'s \u22EF; every other act is named by a section |\n| `when` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Shown only while each named select of the record holds one of these options, and each named yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value |\n| `side` | `true` | no | The section the rest are worked from, drawn in a pane beside them rather than in their scroll \u2014 the photos looked at, the pool picked from, the paper typed off; at most one on a record, which opens on a page door. It holds what any section holds |\n| `page` | `true` | no | A page of its own, off the record\'s scroll: its own heading and a way back, reached from the record\'s rail after the scroll\'s sections, or from a link at its place where the record has no rail \u2014 for what makes the record worse stacked in it: a long list of related rows, a workspace of its own. Only on a page door, never a step (`at`) |\n\n<!-- generated:end apps-record -->\n\n<!-- generated:start rules-record -->\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `record.placed-once` | A field, a block and an act each stand once on a record: the header draws the title, subtitle, image, status (or milestones), figure and folder, and a field\'s one other place is a section\'s `fields`, a files block or a text block \u2014 save the image, which one files block may draw again, whole. |\n| `record.foot-total` | A rows block\'s foot totals the child\'s figure and each summed column over the rows it lists; the record\'s rollup summing that field over those rows (the same `where`) is that foot, never also one of a section\'s `fields`. |\n| `record.fact-restates` | A section\'s field never looks up what its link already reads where it stands: the linked row\'s title and line beside the link, the figure or bound its meter reads on the header\'s line. |\n| `record.section-holds` | A section holds fields, blocks or acts. |\n| `record.sections` | *Refused until adopted or declined:* A register laid out as a table, cards or a gantt states its record\'s `sections` \u2014 the patch holds the fields people write, a files block per paper, a block per child and the record\'s acts. |\n| `record.children` | *Refused until adopted or declined:* An entity some app records, whose rows other rows each belong to (a one-row link to it, never its status history), draws some of them under its row \u2014 a block on its record, a roster of them, lanes of them by that link, or an app over them working in one of its rows at a time (`scope`) \u2014 the patch lists each under the record. |\n| `record.at` | `at` names options of the record\'s stored status, or its milestones; a record with no status has no steps. |\n| `record.at-once` | A stage is the work of one section: two sections naming one option of the status, or one milestone, in `at` hold some field to values apart in their `when` \u2014 a `when` holding the status keeps its section off the options it leaves out. |\n| `record.section-page` | A section is a `page` only on a page door \u2014 never a drawer\'s or one beside the list \u2014 and never a step (`at`), its title naming an address no other page shares (a letter or a digit at least), and never every section. |\n| `record.side` | At most one section stands beside the rest (`side`), on a page door, and never also a page of its own. |\n| `record.beside` | A `door: "beside"` record opens beside a table register \u2014 never a board, cards or a calendar, which draw no list to stand beside. |\n| `record.history` | `record.history` draws a status history the entity records (`status.history`); no block reads that history. |\n| `record.section-acts` | A section\'s `acts` name acts of the record itself: an act of a child (`of`) stands on the child\'s row, and one over the register\'s rows (`on`) on the register. |\n| `record.act-in-section` | Every act of the record stands in the `acts` of the section whose work it is; only a correction no section owns \u2014 `danger`, and no other status move offered at the same moment \u2014 waits in the header\'s \u22EF. |\n| `record.move-home` | A status move offered at one step stands at that step\'s foot when it moves the work forward, to an exit, or back to a step it passes anyway; one offered at several steps, or moving back into a detour, stands in the section `at` the status it enters. |\n| `record.act-staged` | An act at a staged section\'s foot is offered only during that section\'s steps: its `when` holds the status to options the section names \u2014 on milestones, it stamps the step after one of them. |\n| `record.act-hidden` | An act is never offered only while its section\'s `when` hides the section. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-record -->\n\nThe record is its `sections`, stacked in the order the work reaches them. A section is\nits fields, the acts under them, then its blocks \u2014 the acts at its foot instead where one\nreads what a block holds or none of its fields \u2014 and holds at least one of them. From\nthree sections on, the record is navigated by their titles: a page by a rail that jumps\nto each (a strip of the same names on a phone), a drawer by tabs, the companion the last;\nwith fewer, the sections just stack. `description` is one sentence under the title.\n`at` names the status options (or the milestones) during which the section is the work\nnow \u2014 only on a record that truly moves through those stages: the rail marks it done,\nnow or waiting (an item of no `at` is its title alone), and the section stands even holding\nnothing yet \u2014 it never hides a field, locks it or gates an act, and a record opens at its\nhead. `page: true` makes a section a page of its own under the\nrecord\'s, off its scroll, with a way back \u2014 rarely, for a long related list or a workspace\nof its own that would make the record worse stacked; never on a drawer or a step. The\nheader draws no act: every act on the record is named by the section whose work it is, and one no section names is refused, naming its likely\nsection \u2014 only a correction no section owns waits in the header\'s \u22EF beside Delete. An act\nmoving the status and offered at ONE step (its `when`) stands at that step\'s foot when it\nmoves the work forward \u2014 to the next step, or to an exit later in the status\'s options\n(Reject beside Approve) \u2014 or back to a step the work passes anyway. One offered at SEVERAL\nsteps, or moving back into a detour, is named by the section it enters: a detour draws it and its\ngaps alone while it waits. A `danger` act is a correction \u2014 waiting in the \u22EF of what it acts\non: its section\'s heading, its row, the header\'s where no section names it \u2014 unless it moves\nthe status while another status move is offered at the same moment; then it is one of that\nstep\'s outcomes, a button. Cancel offered at Held and at Confirmed, beside Confirm, is an\noutcome into an exit: state `{ "title": "Cancelled", "at": ["cancelled"], "fields": ["reason"],\n"acts": ["cancel"] }`. An exit stands only once the record is in it, its reason there and its\nrail item apart from the path; until then Cancel waits in the header\'s \u22EF. `comments: true`\nputs the record\'s comment thread beside the sections, and `history: true` its status history \u2014\nthe history never as a section. Both are opt-in: state them only where the job\'s people\ndiscuss a record, or the owner asks for an audit trail of its moves.\n\nA field, a block and an act is each placed ONCE on a record \u2014 the header, one section;\na second place is refused. The header draws the entity\'s `records` title, subtitle,\nimage, status (or milestones) and figure, so none of them is named again in a section\'s\n`fields` or the register\'s `columns` \u2014 save the image, which one `files` block may draw\nagain, whole at reading size (an incident\'s photo, a scan), the header keeping its mark. Refused too: a section holding nothing, an `at`\non a record with no status, and a section\'s act that is a child\'s or runs over the\nregister\'s rows.\nA table, cards or a gantt states its record\'s `sections` (`record.sections`); absent them \u2014 a register laid\nout in time, or one declining the rule \u2014 one section holds every field a person writes that the header does\nnot show. An editable field rests as its control and saves as it changes; everything\nelse is plain text. A section or a block with `when` is shown only while each named\nselect of the record holds one of its options. The one layout serves every entity: a\ncustomer or a product is sections without `at`.\n\n## Blocks\n\n```jsonc\n"blocks": [\n { "rows": "fee", "columns": ["kind", "amount"] },\n { "rows": "fee", "where": { "leg": ["out"] }, "columns": ["kind", "amount"], "under": "invoice" },\n { "rows": "cost", "via": "bill", "create": false, "remove": false, "pick": true },\n { "agenda": "booking", "columns": ["guide"], "start": "arrival" },\n { "timeline": "note" },\n { "files": ["photos", "papers"] },\n { "text": "remarks", "when": { "stage": ["held"] } }\n]\n```\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-blocks -->\n\n#### Rows block\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `rows` | alias | yes | A child entity whose rows belong to this record |\n| `via` | alias | no | The child\'s link to this record, where it has more than one |\n| `title` | text | no | The block\'s heading; absent, the child entity\'s or the field\'s own label |\n| `columns` | list of alias | no | The child\'s fields read as columns after its title \u2014 never what its row draws (subtitle, image, status, figure, or the bound its figure\'s meter reads against), though an `expect` block\'s figure is a column, filled in place. |\n| `create` | list of alias (at least one) \\| `false` | no | The child\'s fields asked when a row is added here; absent, its title, its picture, the subtitle and figure no default fills, the block\'s columns, its natural key and every required field \u2014 each a person writes; false, rows are not added here |\n| `where` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Only the child rows whose single select holds one of these options, or whose yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value \u2014 every entry ANDed, read so on the server; a row added here holds the selects\' (one leg\'s fees, of a record holding both legs\'). Each select is one the child requires, so no row stands in no block |\n| `expect` | alias | no | The child\'s title when the record holds one row per value of it \u2014 a single select (one per option, in order) or a one-row link to a catalog (one per row the link may point at): a value not yet filled reads as its own empty line, and no value holds two rows. The block\'s `columns` name at least one field a person fills in place |\n| `of` | alias | no | With `expect` on a select: the record\'s own multi-select holding the options this record expects a line for \u2014 the options it holds, in order, rather than every option. Its options are among the title\'s |\n| `under` | alias | no | The child\'s one-link to a document that covers its rows (an invoice over its fee lines), whose many-link points back and which links to this record: each document stands as a heading over the lines it covers; a filled line no document covers says so on its own row with a make for one document over it, and two or more waiting take a combined make in the block\'s heading. Never also a rows block of the document |\n| `filters` | list of (alias \\| [Tiered filter](#tiered-filter)) (at most 3) | no | The child\'s fields the reader narrows the block\'s rows by, as a register\'s `filters` \u2014 none to 3, each a field its rows show (a column, or a part of the row), its status among them where the business narrows by it \u2014 never on a task list, whose status chips narrow it |\n| `search` | list of alias (at least one) | no | The child\'s fields the block\'s search box matches (a link by its row\'s title), a pasted list line by line; absent, the block has no search box |\n| `group` | alias | no | The child\'s field the block\'s rows open grouped by, as a register\'s `group` \u2014 the reader\'s grouping starting there; absent, ungrouped |\n| `sort` | [Sort key](#sort-key) \\| list of [Sort key](#sort-key) (at least one) | no | The order the block\'s rows open in, as a register\'s `sort` \u2014 within each group where the block groups them; absent, the child\'s first deadline soonest first, else the newest first |\n| `edits` | list of alias (1\u20132) | no | The child\'s fields each line holds as its control, written where the line stands (a quote line\'s sell price) \u2014 a number, a date, words or one option the row\'s save writes, each a column or the figure, at most 2; every other value reads, and the row opens to write it |\n| `remove` | `false` | no | This list offers no Delete on its rows (its open row and \u22EF); they are deleted where another list of them or their own record offers it \u2014 e.g. lines that are a selection of rows kept elsewhere |\n| `pick` | `true` | no | The block also picks rows of the child that no record holds through `via` yet \u2014 those naming what this record names in each link `via`\'s `same` compares, and holding the block\'s `where` \u2014 and links them here; a row picked leaves the block from its \u22EF, unlinked and kept. `via` is an optional one-row link a person writes, and the record holds the many-link paired with it |\n| `when` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Shown only while each named select of the record holds one of these options, and each named yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value |\n\n#### Timeline block\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `timeline` | alias | yes | A child entity read as a log of dated entries, newest first, with a composer where the app adds entries, each corrected and removed where it stands as a rows block\'s row (entries planned ahead are an `agenda`) \u2014 never the record\'s status history, which `record.history` draws beside the record |\n| `via` | alias | no | The child\'s link to this record, where it has more than one |\n| `title` | text | no | The block\'s heading; absent, the child entity\'s or the field\'s own label |\n| `create` | list of alias (at least one) \\| `false` | no | The child\'s fields asked when a row is added here; absent, its title, the subtitle and figure no default fills, its natural key and every required field \u2014 each a person writes; false, rows are not added here |\n| `when` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Shown only while each named select of the record holds one of these options, and each named yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value |\n\n#### Agenda block\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `agenda` | alias | yes | A child entity read as planned entries on a time axis: by day, soonest first, each entry with its picture and the day that is today marked. The day is the first date on the child\'s row line (its `records` title or subtitle); within a day entries follow a datetime there, else the first single select after the date \u2014 its options in the day\'s order |\n| `via` | alias | no | The child\'s link to this record, where it has more than one |\n| `title` | text | no | The block\'s heading; absent, the child entity\'s or the field\'s own label |\n| `columns` | list of alias | no | The child\'s facts read on an entry\'s line after its title \u2014 never what its line already draws (subtitle, image, status, figure) |\n| `create` | list of alias (at least one) \\| `false` | no | The child\'s fields asked when a row is added here; absent, its title, its picture, the subtitle and figure no default fills, the block\'s columns, its natural key and every required field \u2014 each a person writes; false, rows are not added here |\n| `start` | alias | no | The record\'s date that is the first day: each day\'s heading counts from it (Day 1, Day 2); absent, the weekday and the date alone |\n| `when` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Shown only while each named select of the record holds one of these options, and each named yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value |\n\n#### Files block\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `files` | list of alias (at least one) | yes | Files fields of this record, read as pictures and documents |\n| `title` | text | no | The block\'s heading; absent, the child entity\'s or the field\'s own label |\n| `when` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Shown only while each named select of the record holds one of these options, and each named yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value |\n\n#### Text block\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `text` | alias | yes | A long text field read as prose |\n| `title` | text | no | The block\'s heading; absent, the child entity\'s or the field\'s own label |\n| `when` | map of alias \u2192 (list of alias (at least one) \\| boolean) | no | Shown only while each named select of the record holds one of these options, and each named yes/no (stored, or a formula) is this value |\n\n<!-- generated:end apps-blocks -->\n\n<!-- generated:start rules-block -->\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `block.child-link` | A block reads a child linked to the record; `via` names the link where the child links more than once. |\n| `block.column-drawn` | A child block\'s column never names what the child\'s row draws \u2014 its title, subtitle, image, status, figure, or the bound its figure\'s meter reads against \u2014 nor its link back to the record, and names a field once; an `expect` block\'s figure is its filled-in-place column. |\n| `block.title-back` | Where a child\'s title is its link back to the record a block lists it under, its first other subtitle names it there \u2014 a text, a code, a select, a link or a member, never a number or a date. |\n| `block.where` | A rows block\'s `where` names single selects the child requires, by options they hold \u2014 one held at a single option is never also a column \u2014 and the child\'s yes/nos by value. A yes/no is never held: a block adds rows only at a stored one\'s start, and never picks, expects or stands lines under documents. |\n| `block.under` | `under` names the child\'s one-row link to a document entity that pairs a many-link back and is read under this record by its one link; the lines\' columns never read the document (its heading does) nor hold long text. |\n| `block.under-once` | Documents drawn over their lines (`under`) are never listed again as a block of their own. |\n| `block.edits` | A rows block\'s `edits` name at most two of the child\'s columns or its figure that the row\'s own save writes \u2014 a number, a date, a few words or one option \u2014 never on an `expect` block, whose lines are filled in place already. |\n| `block.remove` | A rows block\'s `remove: false` hides the Delete its rows would offer, so it stands only where the app writes those rows. |\n| `block.pick` | A rows block\'s `pick` links rows of the child through `via` \u2014 an optional one-row link a person writes, no act writes, no other rule compares rows by and no `under` block stands lines under \u2014 paired with a many-link of the record its own save writes; the child\'s `read_scope` reads a row naming no record through `via`; never on an `expect` or `under` block, nor in an app writing only the record\'s children. |\n| `block.narrow` | A rows block\'s `filters`, `search`, `group` and `sort` follow the register\'s rules over the child\'s rows, its status among them but on a task list (its chips); never on the link back to the record or a select its `where` holds at one option, never on an `expect` block, and an `under` block is grouped by its documents. |\n| `block.expect` | `expect` names the child\'s title \u2014 a single select or a one-row link a person writes, never the link back \u2014 on a child added in the block; the block\'s `columns` name at least one field a person fills in place, and its `create` takes the file where the child is pictured by one. |\n| `block.expect-fills` | An expected line is made from its key and its first filled column, so every other field the child requires has a default, a start or a `default_from`, or is read first. |\n| `block.expect-of` | A block\'s `of` needs `expect` on a select, and names the record\'s multi-select whose every option is one of the title\'s. |\n| `block.agenda` | An agenda\'s child names a date on its row line (`records` title or subtitle); `start` is a date of the record. |\n| `block.timeline` | A timeline\'s child holds a date to place its entries by. |\n| `block.field-kind` | A files block names files fields of the record, and a text block a text field. |\n| `block.read-scope` | A child read under a record whose rows a `read_scope` narrows states its own \u2014 a row rule is not inherited, save the status history\'s, which takes its record\'s. |\n| `block.agenda-note` | *Noted, never refused:* Rows each on a day and within it (at an hour, in a part of the day) listed as a table: an `agenda` draws them by day. |\n| `block.under-note` | *Noted, never refused:* Rows holding a paper that cover another block\'s lines, listed apart with no add of their own stated: `under` draws them over the lines they cover. |\n| `block.timeline-note` | *Noted, never refused:* Rows each what happened on a day and who \u2014 a date on their line, a member, no status and no figure \u2014 listed as a table: a `timeline` draws them as a log, newest first. |\n| `block.expect-note` | *Noted, never refused:* Rows each a kind of paper \u2014 a single select their title, a files field holding it \u2014 listed with no `expect` and no `where` on the kind, that no act of the app files a call into or `fills`: the papers a record needs read as the lines still missing. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-block -->\n\nA `rows`, `agenda` or `timeline` block reads a child entity through its link to the\nrecord \u2014 `via` names it where the child links more than once. A rows block adds rows\nand opens each in a drawer. An `agenda` draws planned entries by day, soonest first:\nthe first date on the child\'s row line is the day, a datetime there or the first single\nselect after the date orders a day, and `start` \u2014 the record\'s date \u2014 is day 1. `under`\nnames the child\'s one-link to a document covering its lines (an invoice over its fees,\nits many-link paired back, linking to the record): each document heads the lines it\ncovers, the uncovered lines first \u2014 the record never lists the documents again as a\nblock of their own. A filled line no document covers says so on its own row, where one\npress makes a document over that line alone, its figure starting at the line\'s amount;\nwhere two or more wait, the block\'s heading makes one over those ticked in its dialog.\n`pick` takes rows of the child on file that no record holds through `via` yet \u2014 an\noptional one-row link a person writes, paired with a many-link of the record (a supplier\nbill over the job\'s cost lines): the heading offers those both links\' rules admit \u2014\nnaming what the record names in each `same` link, none until it names each \u2014 holding the\nblock\'s `where`, and links at most 200 ticked; a row picked leaves from its \u22EF, kept.\nPicking saves the record, so a check locking it refuses, and one refusing a row\'s edits\nrefuses that row. Never on an `expect` or `under` block, through a link an `under` block\nstands lines under, nor in an app writing only children; a child\'s `read_scope` needs a\nclause not through `via`.\nA timeline reads its child\'s first date as the moment and its member field as who, with\na composer where the app writes it. An agenda\'s or a timeline\'s entry with no day yet is\na plan, listed first and dated in place. An add here fills the link to this record, never asking it. `expect`\nnames the child\'s title where the record holds one row per value of it \u2014 a select\'s\noptions, or the rows a link to a catalog may point at (`options_where`): every value\nis a line, one not yet filled a quiet line whose first column makes its row \u2014 or, where\nthe child is pictured by a file a person brings (its `records` `image`), a placeholder\nnaming the paper whose upload makes the row with its file \u2014 the add\noffers only the values not yet held, and every write path refuses a second row of one\nvalue under one record. A field that starts from the catalog row (`default_from`)\nshows that value as its hint, taken with one press. A block narrowed by a select\'s\n`where` expects its lines once per value among them (one leg\'s fees beside the\nother\'s), and its foot is totalled by the record\'s sum narrowed alike.\n\n## Reading blocks\n\nA `metric`, `breakdown`, `trend` or `pivot` block on a record is a reading (\xA7 Readings) of a child entity\'s\nrows under it, read only \u2014 `via` names the link where the child has more than one.\n\n```jsonc\n"blocks": [\n { "metric": "fee", "value": "amount", "label": "Fees" },\n { "breakdown": "fee", "by": "kind" },\n { "trend": "fee", "over": "charged_on", "value": "amount" },\n { "pivot": "fee", "rows": "kind", "columns": "method" }\n]\n```\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-reading-blocks -->\n\n#### Metric block\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `metric` | alias | yes | The entity whose rows are counted, or summed, into one number |\n| `value` | alias | no | A number field summed over the rows;

Unticking runs the act moving a closed row\nback (its `when` holding a closed option), else the save back to the status\'s default. A move no\nwrite reaches leaves the ring disabled, never hidden, and the check notes it. The status is moved\nin place on the row by the same moves; every other field is edited where the row opens. A\nfiles column reads on a task\'s line as how many files it holds. An act `of` the child with\n`on: "rows"` completes several at once: the list\'s heading offers to select rows, and the act\nruns on those picked. A block with `expect` or `under` draws its own lines, never rings.\n\n```json\n{\n "entities": [\n {\n "alias": "project",\n "label": "Projects",\n "singular": "Project",\n "fields": [\n { "alias": "name", "label": "Name", "type": "text", "required": true },\n { "alias": "lead", "label": "Lead", "type": "select_member" }\n ]\n },\n {\n "alias": "task",\n "label": "Tasks",\n "singular": "Task",\n "fields": [\n { "alias": "title", "label": "Title", "type": "text", "required": true },\n {\n "alias": "project",\n "label": "Project",\n "type": "select_record_link",\n "target_entity": "project",\n "cardinality": "one",\n "required": true\n },\n { "alias": "assignee", "label": "Assignee", "type": "select_member" },\n {\n "alias": "status",\n "label": "Status",\n "type": "select",\n "required": true,\n "options": [\n { "alias": "todo", "label": "To do", "color": "slate" },\n { "alias": "done", "label": "Done", "color": "green" }\n ],\n "default": ["todo"]\n },\n { "alias": "due", "label": "Due", "type": "date", "format": "date" },\n { "alias": "done_on", "label": "Done on", "type": "date", "format": "date" }\n ]\n }\n ],\n "records": {\n "project": { "title": "name" },\n "task": {\n "title": "title",\n "subtitle": ["assignee"],\n "status": { "field": "status", "closed": ["done"] },\n "due": ["due"],\n "task": true,\n "starts": { "assignee": "me" }\n }\n },\n "apps": [\n {\n "alias": "projects",\n "name": "Projects",\n "entity": "project",\n "record": {\n "sections": [{ "title": "Work", "fields": ["lead"], "blocks": [{ "rows": "task", "columns": ["due"] }] }]\n },\n "acts": [\n { "alias": "complete", "label": "Complete", "of": "task", "when": { "status": ["todo"] }, "set": { "status": "done", "done_on": "now" } },\n { "alias": "reopen", "label": "Reopen", "of": "task", "when": { "status": ["done"] }, "set": { "status": "todo", "done_on": null } },\n { "alias": "complete_all", "label": "Complete", "of": "task", "on": "rows", "when": { "status": ["todo"] }, "set": { "status": "done", "done_on": "now" } }\n ]\n },\n {\n "alias": "my_tasks",\n "name": "My tasks",\n "entity": "task",\n "register": {\n "opens": { "assignee": "me" },\n "readings": [{ "metric": "task", "where": { "status": ["todo"] }, "label": "Open" }]\n },\n "record": {\n "door": "drawer",\n "sections": [{ "title": "Task", "fields": ["project", "due"], "acts": ["finish", "undo"] }]\n },\n "acts": [\n { "alias": "finish", "label": "Finish", "when": { "status": ["todo"] }, "set": { "status": "done", "done_on": "now" } },\n { "alias": "undo", "label": "Undo", "when": { "status": ["done"] }, "set": { "status": "todo", "done_on": null } }\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n## Acts\n\n```jsonc\n"acts": [{\n "alias": "gate_out", "label": "Gate out",\n "when": { "stage": ["in_yard"] }, "requires": ["release", "seal"],\n "asks": ["seal", { "input": "note", "label": "Note", "type": "long_text" }],\n "set": { "stage": "gone", "left_on": "now", "left_by": "me", "remark": "input:note" },\n "confirm": true\n}]\n```\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-acts -->\n\n#### Act\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `alias` | alias | yes | The act\'s name within its app \u2014 its workflow is `act_<alias>` |\n| `label` | text | yes | The verb, as the reader says it |\n| `on` | `"record"` \\| `"rows"` \\| `"view"` | no | `rows` runs on the rows ticked in the register \u2014 with `of`, on the child rows ticked together in a rows block of the record;

A field an act computes by a `formula` is a starting value, which a person may change after. |\n| `act.writes` | `writes` stands beside `workflow` and names stored fields of the acted row, each once, that no `set` of the act and no other act over the rows states. |\n| `act.set-formula` | `set: { <field>: { formula } }` reads fields of the acted row and computes what the field holds \u2014 a number, a date, text or a yes/no, typed as the entity\'s own formulas are \u2014 never the status or a milestone; a bound a write rule holds the field to is checked on the computed value as the act runs. |\n| `act.of` | An act\'s `of` names a child the record lists in a rows block; it works on the one child row it is pressed on \u2014 or, `on: "rows"`, on the rows ticked together where the record lists that child as tasks \u2014 never on the rows in view. |\n| `act.writes-line-key` | An act never writes the link or the key naming an expected line under its record \u2014 a line\'s key is stated by filling it. |\n| `act.makes-or-runs` | An act makes a document (`template`, `templates`) or runs an authored `workflow`, never both \u2014 the workflow makes what it needs. |\n| `act.view` | An act over every row in view (`on: "view"`) writes (`set`), makes a document or runs a workflow, and states no `requires`. |\n| `act.requires-drawn` | Every field an act `requires` is drawn where the act stands \u2014 its section\'s fields, a block\'s, its asks, or an unstaged section\'s where its own is unstaged \u2014 never the header alone. |\n| `act.requires-written` | A field an act requires that only an act writes is written by an act offered together with it, or asked by the act itself. |\n| `act.recommends` | A field an act `recommends` is not also in its `requires`. |\n| `act.set` | `set` writes each field a value it holds \u2014 an option alias, a number, a yes/no, a text, `"now"` on a date, `"me"` on a member, `"input:<name>"` of an input the act asks of the same kind \u2014 or clears an optional one with `null`. |\n| `act.set-milestone` | An act stamps a milestone, never clears one \u2014 unticking clears it and every later one. |\n| `act.into` | `into` is a files field of the one record the act is pressed on, beside its `template` or `templates`. |\n| `act.paper` | `paper` is a kind the record lists its papers by, on one record \u2014 never beside `into` or `templates`; one maker per kind. |\n| `act.templates` | `templates` names each template once, kept in `into`, on one record pressed alone \u2014 never beside `template`, `asks`, `of` or an `on` over several rows. |\n| `act.history-copy` | What a status move asks is copied onto the history\'s field of the same name, which holds the same kind of value. |\n| `act.intake` | `intake` names a child the record lists in a rows block that expects its title \u2014 a single select, the paper\'s kind \u2014 and is narrowed by no `where`, holding exactly one files field and needing nothing an added line does not fill; the act runs on one record, states `fills`, and states nothing but its `label`, `when` and `requires` beside them. |\n| `act.record` | `record` names a child the record draws in a timeline or a rows block with no `expect`, `under` or `where`, linking back by one single link, its row needing nothing the recording does not write: `audio` and `video` files fields, `transcript` text, `at` a date, `by` a member, each its own field; on one record, stating only `label`, `when`, `requires` and `fills` beside it. |\n| `act.fills` | `fills` names each once, only beside `intake` or `record`. Beside `record`: a field of the recording\'s row the recording does not write, never a link. Beside `intake`: a field of the record, `<link>.<field>` on the row a required one-row link names (never beside that link), or a child the record adds rows of in a rows block with no `expect`, `under` or `where`, filled in the fields that block adds \u2014 every one a new row needs among them. Each field filled is one a person writes \u2014 text, a number, a date, a yes/no, options or a single link\'s row \u2014 never a status, a milestone, a field an act writes or a link `same` narrows; a link\'s row is one the app reads of its entity. |\n| `act.fills-drawn` | *Noted, never refused:* A field `fills` writes that the record draws nowhere: the review shows the change, the record does not. |\n| `act.fills-new` | *Noted, never refused:* A child `fills` adds rows of, whose natural key the papers cannot state: every row read is added, so the same papers read twice list them twice. |\n| `act.input` | An input has a name of its own \u2014 never another ask\'s, a field\'s, or the record input its workflow takes \u2014 `options` exactly when it is a select, `entity` exactly when it is a link, and a `default` field holding what it states. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-act -->\n\nAn act whose `when` does not hold is not offered \u2014 each select named holding one of its\noptions, each yes/no named (stored, or a formula: a period that has ended) its `true` or\n`false`; every one that holds stands at the\nfoot of the section naming it in `acts` \u2014 a correction in that section heading\'s \u22EF, one\nof a child row on its row (a correction in the row\'s \u22EF). An act\'s `requires` are fields\nits section draws \u2014 its `fields`, a block\'s, the act\'s `asks`, or those of another section\nwith no `at` where its own has none; one shown only in the header or a staged section\nelsewhere is refused. One whose `requires` are\nempty is offered disabled, naming each; one whose `recommends` are empty names what\nit will leave blank and still presses; one a standing check blocks is offered\ndisabled in the check\'s words. The generated `act_<alias>` workflow re-checks all three on the\nserver, writes `set` and what was asked, and appends the status history where the\nact moves the status. `template` makes a document from the row and\nkeeps it in `into`; over several rows it makes one document of them all, the rows\nlisted under the entity\'s alias, and hands it back. `templates` instead names a set of\npapers kept in `into`, listed where the act stands \u2014 each made one as its file, each\nnot made yet as a placeholder \u2014 those whose `when` holds ticked to start; the press\nmakes the ticked ones (sent in `templates`), each replacing the file its template made\nbefore (the file whose `document_template_id` is that template \u2014 never a file a person\nput there), and the set downloads as one archive (`archive_<alias>`). A field an act asks is read-only everywhere else. A `select` input offers its own options and is written into\na select holding the same option aliases; a `link` input picks one row of its `entity`\nand a `member` input one person, each written into a field of its kind. A field an act\nboth `requires` and `asks` never disables the press \u2014 the act asks it, required.\n\n`on: "view"` runs on every row the register shows \u2014 its search, status and filters \u2014\neach row checked before any is written. `of` names a rows block\'s child entity: the\nact is offered on each child row (its menu and its drawer), its `when`, `requires`,\n`set` and checks are the child\'s, it runs on that row, and a check of the record that\nlocks the child rows locks it too. With `on: "rows"` it runs on the child rows ticked\ntogether in the record\'s task list (\xA7 Tasks) \u2014 every row checked before any is written;\nit is refused where the record lists no tasks of that child.\n\n`intake` reads papers: the press takes files, an agent (`act_<alias>` among the app\'s\nagents) reads them, and each is filed as the record\'s line of its kind in the named\nchild \u2014 that child\'s title \u2014 or a new line, its file in the child\'s one files field.\nWhat they state of each field `fills` names is shown beside what the row holds; the save\nwrites only what differs \u2014 the record\'s fields, `<link>.<field>` on the row a required\none-row link names, a child\'s rows (one found by the child\'s `natural_key` changed, else\nadded) \u2014 each refused as its own save is, and nothing written while one refuses. A single\nlink among them is filled with a row the agent finds through the app\'s read of the rows\nit may name \u2014 narrowed as its picker is \u2014 and an id naming no row of its entity is refused\nbefore the run ends; a link `same` narrows is not filled.\n\n```jsonc\n{ "alias": "read_papers", "label": "Read papers", "intake": "customer_paper", "fills": ["phone", "contact.email", "branch"] }\n```\n\n## Checks\n\n```jsonc\n"checks": [{ "field": "release_warning" }, { "field": "unpaid", "blocks": ["gate_out"] }, { "field": "locked", "blocks": ["edit"] }]\n```\n\n<!-- generated:start apps-checks -->\n\n#### Check\n\n| Key | Type | Required | Meaning |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `field` | alias | yes | A yes/no or text formula of the record (or of the child `of` names): true or non-empty means the check stands; its label is its short name on a row\'s line, and a text formula\'s words are the sentence the record and a tooltip say |\n| `of` | alias | no | A rows block\'s child entity this check is a formula of: standing on a child row, it refuses what it blocks of that row |\n| `blocks` | `"all"` \\| list of (alias \\| `"edit"` \\| `"delete"`) (at least one) | no | Acts, "edit" (the saves and the Delete), "delete" (the Delete alone) or "all" that the standing check refuses; absent, it only warns |\n| `resolve` | alias | no | An act of this app, on the rows the check stands on, that clears it: the check\'s line links to the act where it stands, and the act keeps its own conditions |\n\n<!-- generated:end apps-checks -->\n\n<!-- generated:start rules-check -->\n\n#### Rules the check enforces\n\n| Rule | |\n|---|---|\n| `check.field` | A check\'s `field` is a yes/no or text formula of the record, or of the child `of` names. |\n| `check.of` | A check\'s `of` names a child the record lists in a rows block. |\n| `check.not-placed` | A check\'s field is never also placed on the record \u2014 the line under the header says it. |\n| `check.blocks` | A check of the record blocks its acts, `"edit"`, `"delete"` or `"all"`; a check of a child blocks that row\'s saves, its Delete, the acts `of` that child, or all \u2014 never the record\'s acts. |\n| `check.resolve` | `resolve` names an act of this app on the rows the check stands on, pressed on one row, not refused by the check, and drawn as a button \u2014 never a correction. |\n| `check.restates-meter` | A warning reading a gated meter\'s figure against its bound or pass mark is refused \u2014 the meter draws it. |\n\n<!-- generated:end rules-check -->\n\nA check is a yes/no or text formula of the record: it stands while true or\nnon-empty, and a text formula\'s words are what the reader sees. Without `blocks`\nit warns; with them it refuses the acts named, `"edit"` the record\'s own saves (and\nits Delete), `"delete"` its Delete alone, or `"all"` \u2014 on the server, in every write it\nnames. A check `of` a rows block\'s child stands on each child row: it refuses that\nrow\'s saves (`edit`), its Delete (`delete`), the acts `of` that child it names, or\n`all` of them \u2014 never the record\'s acts. A warning reading the figure of a meter that\n`gates` marks against its bound or its pass mark is refused: the meter already draws it.\n\nThe check field\'s `label` is its short name \u2014 "Over budget", "Release expired": a row\'s\nline says it in the check\'s tone (the most severe of several, and how many more), while\nits words whole are the row\'s tooltip and stand under the record\'s header. So label it\nas the reader names the problem, in a few words, and let a text formula say the\nsentence. The compiler records the fields a formula reads: a row drawing each of them\nas a control says nothing of the check on its line (the empty control says it), and a\ncheck with no `resolve` links to the first of them the record draws.\n\n## What a run remembers\n\nThe WORKSPACE remembers what each entity, field, select option, role and\ntemplate alias became here, plus which record each first row landed on and the\nfile each document path was uploaded as. The model file itself holds no live id\n\u2014 it is the portable half, and the same file applies to a demo workspace and to\na customer\'s \u2014 so the join lives where the things it names live, and one model\napplied to two workspaces holds two bindings that know nothing of each other.\n\nIt is the workspace\'s and not the file\'s because a model file is never\ncommitted: memory kept beside it is one author\'s disk, absent for a teammate, on\na second machine or after a delete \u2014 and every one of those goes quietly back to\nbinding by label, which is what grows the second table.\n\nEvery later apply binds through it: it takes the remembered id first and falls\nback to a label only for an alias nothing has bound \u2014 a field you have just\nadded, or a workspace nothing has applied this model to. That is what makes a\nrelabel on EITHER side a rename rather than one thing the workspace lacks and\none the model lacks: `apply` binds the thing it has always meant and reports the\nmove \u2014 which side is right is yours to decide, not a reason to refuse the run.\n\nA bound target the workspace no longer holds IS a refusal, by name: re-binding\nto whatever carries that label today is how the model comes to point at\nsomebody else\'s table. On the CLI, `lotics run restore_table` puts a deleted table back.\n\n`lotics model pull` writes a workspace that already works as a model file \u2014 the\nstarting point for another business\'s model, never a source of truth: it carries\none business\'s words and stops describing that workspace the moment either\nchanges.\n\n## A complete model\n\n```json\n{\n "entities": [\n {\n "alias": "customer",\n "label": "Customers",\n "singular": "Customer",\n "fields": [\n { "alias": "name", "label": "Name", "type": "text", "required": true },\n { "alias": "logo", "label": "Logo", "type": "files" },\n {\n "alias": "tier",\n "label": "Tier",\n "type": "select",\n "options": [\n { "alias": "standard", "label": "Standard", "color": "slate" },\n { "alias": "gold", "label": "Gold", "color": "amber" }\n ],\n "default": ["standard"]\n },\n {\n "alias": "orders",\n "label": "Orders",\n "type": "select_record_link",\n "target_entity": "order",\n "cardinality": "many",\n "sync_both_ways": true,\n "paired_field_alias": "customer",\n "display_field_aliases": ["code"]\n },\n {\n "alias": "total_ordered",\n "label": "Total ordered",\n "type": "rollup",\n "source_field_alias": "orders",\n "aggregate_option": { "operation": "sum", "field_key": "amount" }\n }\n ],\n "views": [\n {\n "alias": "gold",\n "label": "Gold customers",\n "filters": {\n "node_type": "condition",\n "type": "select",\n "field_key": "tier",\n "operator": "has_any_of",\n "value": ["gold"]\n },\n "sort": [{ "field_key": "name", "order": "asc" }]\n }\n ]\n },\n {\n "alias": "order",\n "label": "Orders",\n "singular": "Order",\n "fields": [\n { "alias": "code", "label": "Order no.", "type": "text", "unique": true },\n { "alias": "placed_on", "label": "Placed on", "type": "date", "format": "date" },\n {\n "alias": "amount",\n "label": "Amount",\n "type": "number",\n "notation": { "style": "currency", "currency": "VND" }\n },\n {\n "alias": "total",\n "label": "Total with VAT",\n "type": "formula",\n "formula": { "expression": "{amount} * 1.1", "notation": { "style": "currency", "currency": "VND" } }\n },\n {\n "alias": "customer",\n "label": "Customer",\n "type": "select_record_link",\n "target_entity": "customer",\n "cardinality": "one",\n "sync_both_ways": true,\n "paired_field_alias": "orders",\n "display_field_aliases": ["name"]\n },\n { "alias": "note", "label": "Note", "type": "text" }\n ]\n }\n ],\n "roles": [{ "alias": "sales", "label": "Sales" }],\n "records": {\n "customer": { "title": "name", "image": "logo", "party": "organization", "figure": "total_ordered" },\n "order": { "title": "customer", "subtitle": ["code", "placed_on"], "figure": "amount", "starts": { "placed_on": "today" } }\n },\n "apps": [\n {\n "alias": "customers",\n "name": "Customers",\n "entity": "customer",\n "register": {\n "columns": ["tier"],\n "readings": [{ "breakdown": "customer", "by": "tier", "value": "total_ordered" }]\n },\n "record": {\n "sections": [\n { "title": "Account", "fields": ["tier"] },\n { "title": "Orders", "blocks": [{ "rows": "order", "columns": ["total"], "create": ["code", "amount"] }] }\n ]\n }\n },\n {\n "alias": "orders",\n "name": "Orders",\n "entity": "order",\n "register": {\n "filters": ["customer"],\n "create": ["code", "customer", "placed_on"],\n "readings": [{ "trend": "order", "over": "placed_on", "value": "amount" }]\n },\n "record": { "door": "drawer", "sections": [{ "title": "Order", "fields": ["note"] }] }\n }\n ],\n "rows": {\n "customer": [\n { "ref": "acme", "fields": { "name": "Acme Trading", "tier": "gold" } },\n { "ref": "bluebird", "fields": { "name": "Bluebird Foods", "tier": "standard" } }\n ],\n "order": [\n {\n "ref": "so_1001",\n "fields": {\n "code": "SO-1001",\n "placed_on": "@month-start+2",\n "amount": 4200000,\n "customer": "customer:acme"\n }\n },\n {\n "ref": "so_1002",\n "fields": {\n "code": "SO-1002",\n "placed_on": "@today-3",\n "amount": 1150000,\n "customer": "customer:bluebird"\n }\n }\n ]\n }\n}\n```\n\nEach app of this file, as its reader will see it:\n\n```\nApp customers \u2014 "Customers" over Customers (customer)\n Register \u2014 table (default), newest first (default)\n row [Logo] \xB7 Name \xB7 figure Total ordered\n columns Tier\n filters \u2014\n readings "Tier" \u2014 Total ordered summed per Tier, over the rows in view (default)\n add Name (default)\n Record \u2014 a drawer (default)\n header image Logo \xB7 title Name \xB7 figure Total ordered\n checks \u2014\n header \u22EF Delete\n sections 1.

var workflows_default = '# Workflows \u2014 the steps a workflow runs\n\nA workflow is written as a strict subset of JavaScript. The source is never run as JavaScript: a\nsave parses it into steps, type-checks it against what its trigger supplies, and stores the steps.\nOnly the forms below are accepted; anything else is refused at save with the line, the column and\nwhat to write instead. A save that succeeds may still return `warnings` \u2014 advisory hints such as a\nloop that may never end. Read them.\n\nThe same grammar serves an automation, a table\'s lifecycle workflow and an app\'s workflow, and the\nexpressions of a table check. Only an automation\'s source opens with a trigger declaration; a\nlifecycle workflow takes its trigger from its table and event, an app workflow from the app that calls\nit.\n\n## Triggers\n\nAn automation answers an event outside the records: a schedule, a webhook, an inbound email. A\nreaction to a record being created, updated or deleted is a table lifecycle workflow (see\n**Table lifecycle workflows**).\n\n```\non({ type: "recurring_schedule", cron_expression: "0 9 * * MON" });\n```\n\nEvery source below is typed, so a misspelled member is refused at save rather than read as nothing.\nAll three carry `trigger.trigger_id`.\n\n| trigger | required config | what the body reads |\n|---|---|---|\n| `recurring_schedule` | `cron_expression` | `runtime.timezone`; the current time is `now()` |\n| `receive_webhook` | `secret`? | `trigger.method`, `trigger.headers[...]`, `trigger.query[...]`, `trigger.body` (any JSON, or raw text when the request is not JSON), `trigger.received_at` |\n| `receive_gmail_email` / `receive_outlook_email` | `connected_account_id`, `filter` | `trigger.email_id`, `trigger.from`, `trigger.to`, `trigger.cc`, `trigger.bcc`, `trigger.subject`, `trigger.date`, `trigger.body` (plain text), `trigger.reply_to`, `trigger.in_reply_to`, `trigger.attachments` (file refs \u2014 assign them straight to a files field). One type serves both providers, so `labels`, `thread_id`, `importance` and `conversation_id` are not readable. |\n\nA whole automation:\n\n```\non({ type: "recurring_schedule", cron_expression: "0 9 * * MON" });\n\nconst open = await query_records({\n table_id: "tbl_tickets",\n filters: { node_type: "condition", field_key: "fld_status", operator: "has_any_of", value: ["opt_open"] },\n});\nawait send_email({\n to: "team@example.com",\n subject: "Weekly digest",\n body: `${size(open.records)} tickets open as of ${formatDate(now(), "YYYY-MM-DD")}.`,\n});\n```\n\n## Steps\n\n| step | syntax |\n|---|---|\n| tool call, kept | `const <id> = await <tool>({ ...inputs });` \u2014 also `let x = await \u2026` and `x = await \u2026` |\n| tool call | `await <tool>({ ...inputs });` |\n| agent | `const <id> = await agent({ instructions, input, tools, model, output });` \u2014 see **An agent step** |\n| app agent | `const <id> = await app_agent({ alias: "<agent alias>", input: { ... } });` \u2014 runs one of the app\'s declared agents, in an app workflow only, and resolves to its declared outputs or its final text. `wait: false` only starts the run and resolves to `{ run_id }`; the run\'s failure is then its own, not the workflow\'s. Refused in a run an agent started. |\n| bind | `const <id> = <expression>;` \u2014 evaluated once; later steps read `<id>`. Bind any expression used twice. |\n| if / else | `if (<expr>) { ... } else { ... }` \u2014 `else` optional, `else if` chains allowed |\n| switch | `switch (<expr>) { case "X": { ... } default: { ... } }` \u2014 string cases only, no fallthrough |\n| for | `for (const <name> of <expr>) { ... }` |\n| wait | `await wait({ duration_in_minutes: 5 });` |\n| wait for an event | `await wait_for_event({ event_type: "webhook", event_ref: <expr>, timeout_in_minutes: 60 });` |\n| wait for an approval | `await wait_for_approval({ approvers: <expr>, prompt: <expr> });` \u2014 see **Waiting for an approval** |\n| return | `return({ status: "success" \\| "error", message: <expr>, field_errors: { ... }? });` |\n| validate | `validate({ checks: [{ fail_when: <expr>, field_key: "...", message: <expr> }, ...] });` |\n\n`return` is a call, not a JavaScript `return` statement. `validate` ends the workflow with an error\nwhen a check\'s `fail_when` is truthy; the check\'s `field_key` names the control its message lands on \u2014\nin an app workflow a declared input, or the `fld_` key of a field on a table the body names; a field of\nthe trigger table in a lifecycle workflow; in an automation it is not checked.\n\nThe name in `const x = await tool({...})` is the step\'s id; later expressions read its output as\n`x.records`, `x.id` and so on. A `// id: my_step` comment directly above a statement sets an explicit\nid; any other `//` comment there becomes the step\'s description.\n\n**`await` inside a statement** runs the call as its own step first, then reads its output where it is\nwritten: `size((await query_records({...})).records)`, an `if` test, a `return` value, a `for-of`\niterable, a tool input. `const x = c ? await t({...}) : null;` is stored as the `if` it means. An\n`await` that would run on some paths only \u2014 inside `&&`, `||`, `??`, `?.`, a nested ternary, a loop\ntest, a `validate` check \u2014 is refused; write the `if`.\n\n**Names are block-scoped, as in JavaScript** \u2014 `const`, `let`, loop items and `catch (e)`: sibling\nblocks may reuse a name and an inner block may shadow an outer one. A local may take a helper\'s name\n(`const size = 3;`), but calling `size(...)` while it is in scope is refused. Tool names, the reserved\nroots, `linked` and `_s` followed by digits cannot be bound.\n\n### Waiting for an approval\n\n`wait_for_approval` is the wait worth binding \u2014 `wait` and `wait_for_event` carry nothing to read.\nBind it to branch on the decision:\n\n```\nconst approval = await wait_for_approval({\n approvers: record["fld_approvers"],\n prompt: `Approve the quote for ${record["fld_name"]}?`,\n});\n\nif (approval.status == "approved") {\n // the approved path\n} else {\n // the rejected or timed-out path; approval.decision_comment says why\n}\n```\n\nIt resolves to `{ status: "approved" | "rejected" | "timed_out", decided_by: MemberId | null,\ndecided_at: ISO string, decision_comment: string | null }`.\n\n`approvers` takes a bare member id (`"mbr_\u2026"`), a bare group id (`"grp_\u2026"`) or a full principal\n(`{ type: "member_group", id: "grp_x" }`), alone or in a list \u2014 so a member field\'s value passes as it\nis.\n\n### An agent step\n\n`const x = await agent({ instructions, input, tools, model, output });` runs a model with tools as one\nstep \u2014 summarize a record, classify, draft text.\n\n- `instructions` \u2014 a fixed string.\n- `input` \u2014 an object literal; its fields are expressions, evaluated and handed to the model (`{}` for\n none). It is the ONLY workflow data the agent sees: read `record`, prior steps, `runtime` or the loop\n item here, never inside `instructions` or `tools`, which are fixed literals and read no binding.\n- `tools` \u2014 the names of the tools it may call.\n- `model` \u2014 optional; omit it to follow the platform\'s default model.\n- `output` \u2014 `{ mode: "text" }` resolves to a string; `{ mode: "object", schema }` to a typed object.\n\nOnly `x` comes back: in text mode `x` is the string itself, in object mode `x.field` reads a field the\n`schema` declares. The agent\'s own tool calls are not readable.\n\n## Keys, not names\n\n1. **Fields and options are named by key.** A field reads as `record["fld_status"]`, an option as\n `"opt_done"`, a linked field as `linked(record["fld_customer"])[0]["fld_name"]`. `get_table` lists\n each field\'s `key` and each option\'s `key`; a display name is refused at save with the key to use.\n2. **`==` against a multi-select means "includes".** `record["fld_tags"] == "opt_urgent"` on a\n multi-select is stored as `includes(record["fld_tags"], "opt_urgent")`; either spelling works.\n3. **Text renders labels.** Inside a template or a text tool input, a select, member or link value\n renders its display text: `` `${record["fld_status"]}` `` writes "Done", not `opt_done`.\n\n## What an expression reads\n\n- `record` \u2014 the trigger record (on an update, the record as it now stands).\n- `prev_record` \u2014 the record before the change, same shape (updates and deletes only).\n- `changes` \u2014 the fields an update changed, a PARTIAL map: `changes["fld_x"]?.next_value` and\n `?.prev_value`, the `?.` required (updates only).\n- `trigger` \u2014 what a non-record trigger carries (see **Triggers**). `trigger.data`,\n `trigger.prev_data` and `trigger.changes` are the same three roots spelled long; a saved body reads\n back in the short form.\n- a loop\'s item name, and `index`, the iteration\'s 0-based index.\n- `<step id>` \u2014 an earlier step\'s output (`dup.records`).\n- `runtime.timezone`, `runtime.workflow_id`, `runtime.execution_id`, `runtime.workspace_id`,\n `runtime.organization_id`, `runtime.change_origin`, `runtime.triggered_by_member_id`. The current\n time is `now()`.\n\n## Paths\n\n- `record.fld_x` and `record["fld_x"]` read a field; `[n]` reads a list\'s n-th item.\n- A path may start at an awaited call: `(await get_record({...})).data["fld_x"]`. It may not start at a\n helper\'s result \u2014 `first(found.records).id` is refused; bind `first(found.records)`, then read it.\n- A record reads in its declared shape wherever it comes from \u2014 the trigger, a tool result, a `let`, a\n callback parameter: a single select or member as its key or null, a link as its ids. (The record\n tools called outside a workflow return the stored arrays instead.)\n- `linked(record["fld_link"])[n]["fld_x"]` fetches the n-th linked row and reads a field of it; bare\n `linked(record["fld_link"])` is every linked row, one fetch per row. Its argument is a path ending on\n a link field and carries the guard: `linked(record?.["fld_link"])[0]`.\n- `changes["fld_link"]?.next_value` is the same list of ids; `linked()` over a change is refused \u2014\n read `linked(record["fld_link"])` or `linked(prev_record["fld_link"])`.\n\n## Operators and statements\n\nOperators in JavaScript precedence: `? :`, `||`, `??`, `&&`, `== !=`, `< <= > >=`, `+ -`, `* /`, prefix\n`! -`.\n\n- `??` is `coalesce(left, right)`; `?.` reads through a null (`a?.b`, `a?.[0]`, and `s?.trim()` for the\n method names listed under **Helpers**). `x?.()` is refused: helpers and tools are not values.\n- Templates use backticks and `${...}`.\n- Destructuring \u2014 `const { fld_status, fld_name } = record;` binds each name. Renames\n (`{ fld_status: s }`), quoted keys (`{ "fld_ref": ref }`), array patterns with holes\n (`const [first, , third] = xs;`) and defaults (`{ fld_note = "" }`, which apply on null too) work on\n `const`, `let` and `for (const { id } of rows)`. A tool result destructures directly:\n `const { records } = await query_records({...});`. `const a = 1, b = 2;` declares both. Nested\n patterns and rest are refused.\n- Spread \u2014 `[...a, b]` and `{ ...a, b: 1 }` (later keys win). Refused inside a tool input: bind the\n merged value first and pass the binding.\n- Shorthand \u2014 `{ table_id }` is `{ table_id: table_id }`.\n- `xs.push(a, b);` appends, also on a key (`o.items.push(v)`); `o.a.b = v;` sets a nested key;\n `x ??= v`, `x ||= v` and `x &&= v` assign. A `const` may be pushed to or have a key set, as in\n JavaScript; a loop item is read-only.\n- `undefined` is the same value as `null`. `=== undefined` and `!== undefined` are refused, since they\n cannot tell a missing key from null: test `isNull(x)`, or `includes(keys(o), "k")` for whether a key\n was sent.\n- A filter node may leave out `node_type` when its keys say which it is: `field_key` / `operator` /\n `value` a condition, `logic` / `children` a group, `path` / `condition` a traversal.\n- `function name(p = <default>) { return <expr>; }` \u2014 top level only, expanded at every call (a call\n may come before it). Every parameter needs a default, which gives it its type; the body is one\n `return <expr>;` reading only its parameters, helpers and the reserved roots \u2014 never the caller\'s\n names, nor `index`. No recursion; a function never called is refused. A body read back shows the\n expression at each call, not the `function`.\n\n**try / catch.** `try { ... } catch (e) { ... }` catches a tool error or an expression error inside the\nbody; `e` is `{ message, type, step_id?, detail? }`. A failed `validate` and a `return` are not\nerrors \u2014 they end the workflow \u2014 and a step that runs after a wait inside the `try` is outside it.\n`finally` is refused: put always-run steps after the `try`.\n\n**Loops.** `for-of`, `while (cond) { ... }`, `do { ... } while (cond);` and\n`for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) { ... }`, each capped at 10,000 iterations. `break;` and `continue;` act\non the innermost loop; labels and `for-in` are refused.\n\n**`let`.** `let x = <expr>;` declares a block-scoped variable; the initializer is required\n(`let x = null;`). Reassign with `=`, `+=`, `-=`, `*=`, `/=`, `%=`, `??=`, `++` and `--`. Re-declaring in\nthe same block is refused; shadowing in a nested block is allowed. A `let` keeps its value across a\n`wait`, `wait_for_event` or `wait_for_approval`.\n\n**Refused:** regex, `new`, `typeof`, `instanceof`, `in`, `delete`, `void`, rest elements, computed keys,\nclasses, `throw`, `import`, `export`, and a function as a value (`const f = (x) => ...`).\n\n## Helpers\n\nCalled as `size(arr)`. The method form works only where the name is also a JavaScript method \u2014\n`x.trim()`, `arr.includes(v)`, `arr.at(-1)`, `arr.map(fn)`, `s.split(",")`; `arr.size()` is refused.\n\n- **Null and type**: `isNull`, `isNotNull`, `isEmpty`, `isString`, `isNumber`, `isBoolean`, `isArray`,\n `isObject`, `coalesce`, `get`, `toNumber`, `toString`, `typeOf`, `parseJson`, `toJson`\n- **Lists**: `size`, `first`, `requireFirst` (the first item, refusing an empty list \u2014 after a\n `validate` on the size it saves an `if`), `last`, `nth`, `at` (`at(arr, -1)` counts from the end),\n `includes`, `filter`, `find`, `some`, `every`, `pluck`, `sortBy`, `groupBy`, `countBy`, `unique`,\n `uniqueBy`, `compact` (drops falsy items), `flatten`, `reverse`, `slice`, `concat`, `difference`,\n `differenceBy`, `intersection`, `intersectionBy`, `list`, `reduce(arr, (acc, x) => ..., initial)`,\n `range(end)` / `range(start, end)`\n- **Math**: `sum`, `sumBy`, `mean`, `meanBy`, `minBy`, `maxBy`, `round`, `ceil`, `floor`, `min`, `max`,\n `abs`, `mod`, `pow`, `sqrt`, `clamp`, `percentage`\n- **Text**: `upper`, `lower`, `capitalize`, `trim`, `contains`, `startsWith`, `endsWith`, `replace`,\n `replaceAll`, `substring`, `length`, `split`, `join`, `padStart(str, length, char)`,\n `padEnd(str, length, char)`, `formatNumber(x, decimals)` (ungrouped, as `x.toFixed`),\n `formatDecimal(x, decimals, locale)` (grouped: `formatDecimal(151000, 0, "vi-VN")` is `151.000`),\n `numberToWords(x, lang?)` (an integer in words: Vietnamese, or English with `"en"`)\n- **Objects**: `keys`, `values`, `entries`, `nonNullKeys`, `pick`, `omit`, `merge`\n- **Dates**, in the workspace\'s timezone: `now`, `formatDate`, `parseDate`, `addDays`, `subDays`,\n `addHours`, `subHours`, `addMinutes`, `subMinutes`, `startOfDay`, `endOfDay`,\n `differenceInCalendarDays`, `differenceInHours`, `differenceInMinutes`, `isBefore`, `isAfter`,\n `isSameDay`, `isToday`, `isWithinRange`\n- **Other**: `formatCurrency(amount, locale, currency)`, `randomNumber(len)`,\n `randomAlphaNumeric(len)`, `sample(items)` (a random item)\n\nA date helper given a null or empty date returns null, so guard its result before comparing or\nwriting it: `differenceInCalendarDays(a, b) ?? 0`.\n\n`filter`, `find`, `some`, `every`, `sortBy`, `pluck`, `sumBy`, `meanBy`, `minBy`, `maxBy`, `groupBy`,\n`countBy`, `uniqueBy`, `differenceBy` and `intersectionBy` take a path string\n(`filter(record.items, "Status", "open")`) or a callback\n(`filter(record.items, x => x.Status == "open" && x.Amount > 100)`); `reduce` takes a callback and an\ninitial value. A callback gets `(item, idx)` (`reduce`: `(acc, item, idx)`) and reads `record`,\n`runtime`, the names in scope, loop items and an enclosing callback\'s parameters. Its body is one\nexpression \u2014 `(x) => <expr>`, `(x) => { return <expr>; }` or `function (x) { return <expr>; }`;\nseveral statements, `async` and named function expressions are refused.\n\n## Writing a field: null and undefined\n\nIn `update_records`\' `set` and `create_records`\' `records`:\n\n- `null` clears the field.\n- `undefined`, or leaving the key out, leaves the field as it is.\n\nSo passing a read that may be null (`record["fld_x"]`) keeps a value when there is one and clears the\nfield when there is none. Use `coalesce(x, fallback)` only for a real fallback value.\n\n## Examples\n\nCompare a link by id. Display text is not unique, and a link reads as a list of ids \u2014 `==` against a\nstring is a type error:\n\n```\nconst found = await query_records({\n table_id: "tbl_customers",\n filters: { node_type: "condition", field_key: "fld_name", operator: "equals", value: "ACME Corp" },\n});\nconst customer = first(found.records);\n\nif (customer && includes(record["fld_customer"], customer.id)) {\n // \u2026\n}\n```\n\n## Table lifecycle workflows\n\nA lifecycle workflow is bound to one table and one event, and its source has no `on({...})` line:\n\n- `after_create` \u2014 a create, and a draft\'s submit (the moment it becomes a record).\n- `after_update` \u2014 every field edit, a draft\'s included.\n- `after_delete`.\n\nA lifecycle workflow runs after the write commits, with every step; its errors are logged and never\nfail the write. What refuses a write before it lands is a table check (see **Table\nchecks**). An `after_update` workflow that writes its own table saves with a `loop_potential`\nwarning: its write fires it again.\n\n| reads | on |\n|---|---|\n| `record` | every event \u2014 the new record on create, the record as it now stands on update, the deleted record on delete |\n| `prev_record` | updates and deletes \u2014 the record before |\n| `changes["fld_x"]?.next_value` / `?.prev_value` | updates \u2014 the fields that changed |\n\n### Gating with `if_source`\n\n`if_source` is one JavaScript expression, reading what the body reads, tested before the workflow\nruns. When it is falsy the workflow does not run at all \u2014 no execution, no log. Use it so a workflow\nthat cares about some events only skips the rest:\n\n- a status reaching an option: `changes["fld_status"]?.next_value == "opt_done"`\n- a field cleared: `isNull(record["fld_assignee"])`\n- a direct write, not a workflow\'s cascade:\n `includes(["member", "chat_agent", "api_client"], runtime.change_origin.type)` \u2014 name every\n direct-write origin rather than testing for one: `member` is a person in the browser, and the same\n edit over MCP, the CLI or the API arrives as `api_client`.\n\nIn `if_source`, `runtime.change_origin` is the origin of the write that fired it; in the body, it is\nthe workflow\'s own.\n\n## Table checks\n\nA table check is one condition its table\'s record writes must not meet, declared beside the table\'s\n`unique`. It is not a workflow: it reads the write and a few lookups and answers yes or no, so it\ncannot change data. It runs inside the write, on every create, update or delete it is `on`, whichever\nsurface makes it \u2014 a person, the API, the CLI, an agent, a workflow. A refusal writes nothing and\nanswers with the check\'s message, under its field when the check names one, and names the check.\n\nOn the CLI or in chat, `set_table_check` creates one, or changes one when given its `table_check_id`\nand only the parts that change, and `remove_table_check` removes one. `get_table` lists a table\'s\nchecks in the source they are written in.\n\n| part | what it holds |\n|---|---|\n| `on` | the writes it checks: any of `create`, `update`, `delete` |\n| `when` | optional expression; the check runs only on a write where it is truthy. It cannot read lookups. |\n| `lookups` | optional, by name, the rows to read: `{ table_id, filter, limit }`, the filter as `query_records` takes it, `limit` from 1 to 50 (50 when left out). A filter value may read the record. |\n| `fail_when` | expression; truthy refuses the write |\n| `message` | expression for the refusal\'s text \u2014 a fixed text is a quoted string |\n| `field_key` | optional; the field the refusal is shown under |\n\nEvery expression is written in the grammar above and reads:\n\n- `record` \u2014 the record as it will be stored; on a delete, the record being deleted.\n- `prev_record` \u2014 on an update or a delete, the record before.\n- `changes` \u2014 on an update, the fields it changes.\n- `lookups.<name>` \u2014 in `fail_when` and `message`, the rows that lookup read.\n- `runtime.timezone`, `runtime.workspace_id`, `runtime.organization_id`, `runtime.change_origin` (the\n write\'s origin), `runtime.triggered_by_member_id` (the member writing; null for a write no member\n made), and `now()`.\n\nA check on several operations reads only what all of them carry, so one on creates and updates reads\nneither `prev_record` nor `changes`.\n\nA lookup reads with the access of the member who last saved the check, so saving one requires reading\nevery table its lookups read. It reads committed rows: two writes at the same moment can each pass a\ncheck the other would fail, so values no two rows may share are the table\'s `unique`, not a check.\n\nA `when`, a lookup or a `fail_when` that cannot decide \u2014 it fails, or the write\'s time runs out \u2014\nrefuses the write. A draft is checked when it is submitted, as a create; its edits before that are\nnot. A restored record is checked as a create. Cloning a table copies its checks to the member who\nclones it, and is refused when that member cannot read a table a check\'s lookup reads.\n\nOne open order per reference, a row never counting against itself:\n\n```\n{\n "table_id": "tbl_orders",\n "name": "One open order per reference",\n "on": ["create", "update"],\n "when": "isNull(record[\\"fld_closed_at\\"])",\n "lookups": {\n "same_ref": "{ table_id: \\"tbl_orders\\", filter: { node_type: \\"group\\", logic: \\"and\\", children: [ { field_key: \\"fld_ref\\", operator: \\"equals\\", value: record[\\"fld_ref\\"] }, { field_key: \\"fld_closed_at\\", operator: \\"is_empty\\" } ] }, limit: 2 }"\n },\n "fail_when": "some(lookups.same_ref, (r) => r.id != record.id)",\n "message": "\\"An open order already has this reference.\\"",\n "field_key": "fld_ref"\n}\n```\n';

var workflows_default = '# Workflows \u2014 the steps a workflow runs\n\nA workflow is written as a strict subset of JavaScript. The source is never run as JavaScript: a\nsave parses it into steps, type-checks it against what its trigger supplies, and stores the steps.\nOnly the forms below are accepted; anything else is refused at save with the line, the column and\nwhat to write instead. A save that succeeds may still return `warnings` \u2014 advisory hints such as a\nloop that may never end. Read them.\n\nThe same grammar serves an automation, a table\'s lifecycle workflow and an app\'s workflow, and the\nexpressions of a table check. Only an automation\'s source opens with a trigger declaration; a\nlifecycle workflow takes its trigger from its table and event, an app workflow from the app that calls\nit.\n\n## Triggers\n\nAn automation answers an event outside the records: a schedule, a webhook, an inbound email. A\nreaction to a record being created, updated or deleted is a table lifecycle workflow (see\n**Table lifecycle workflows**).\n\n```\non({ type: "recurring_schedule", cron_expression: "0 9 * * MON" });\n```\n\nEvery source below is typed, so a misspelled member is refused at save rather than read as nothing.\nAll three carry `trigger.trigger_id`.\n\n| trigger | required config | what the body reads |\n|---|---|---|\n| `recurring_schedule` | `cron_expression` | `runtime.timezone`; the current time is `now()` |\n| `receive_webhook` | `secret`? | `trigger.method`, `trigger.headers[...]`, `trigger.query[...]`, `trigger.body` (any JSON, or raw text when the request is not JSON), `trigger.received_at` |\n| `receive_gmail_email` / `receive_outlook_email` | `connected_account_id`, `filter` | `trigger.email_id`, `trigger.from`, `trigger.to`, `trigger.cc`, `trigger.bcc`, `trigger.subject`, `trigger.date`, `trigger.body` (plain text), `trigger.reply_to`, `trigger.in_reply_to`, `trigger.attachments` (file refs \u2014 assign them straight to a files field). One type serves both providers, so `labels`, `thread_id`, `importance` and `conversation_id` are not readable. |\n\nA whole automation:\n\n```\non({ type: "recurring_schedule", cron_expression: "0 9 * * MON" });\n\nconst open = await query_records({\n table_id: "tbl_tickets",\n filters: { node_type: "condition", field_key: "fld_status", operator: "has_any_of", value: ["opt_open"] },\n});\nawait send_email({\n to: "team@example.com",\n subject: "Weekly digest",\n body: `${size(open.records)} tickets open as of ${formatDate(now(), "YYYY-MM-DD")}.`,\n});\n```\n\n## Steps\n\n| step | syntax |\n|---|---|\n| tool call, kept | `const <id> = await <tool>({ ...inputs });` \u2014 also `let x = await \u2026` and `x = await \u2026` |\n| tool call | `await <tool>({ ...inputs });` \u2014 a connection\'s tools too, each a workflow step (`bkav_submit_invoices`, `gmail_send_email`, \u2026); a step that fails ends the run with its reason unless a `try`/`catch` around it handles it |\n| agent | `const <id> = await agent({ instructions, input, tools, model, output });` \u2014 see **An agent step** |\n| app agent | `const <id> = await app_agent({ alias: "<agent alias>", input: { ... } });` \u2014 runs one of the app\'s declared agents, in an app workflow only, and resolves to its declared outputs or its final text. `wait: false` only starts the run and resolves to `{ run_id }`; the run\'s failure is then its own, not the workflow\'s. Refused in a run an agent started. |\n| bind | `const <id> = <expression>;` \u2014 evaluated once; later steps read `<id>`. Bind any expression used twice. |\n| if / else | `if (<expr>) { ... } else { ... }` \u2014 `else` optional, `else if` chains allowed |\n| switch | `switch (<expr>) { case "X": { ... } default: { ... } }` \u2014 string cases only, no fallthrough |\n| for | `for (const <name> of <expr>) { ... }` |\n| wait | `await wait({ duration_in_minutes: 5 });` |\n| wait for an event | `await wait_for_event({ event_type: "webhook", event_ref: <expr>, timeout_in_minutes: 60 });` |\n| wait for an approval | `await wait_for_approval({ approvers: <expr>, prompt: <expr> });` \u2014 see **Waiting for an approval** |\n| return | `return({ status: "success" \\| "error", message: <expr>, field_errors: { ... }? });` |\n| validate | `validate({ checks: [{ fail_when: <expr>, field_key: "...", message: <expr> }, ...] });` |\n\nEvery step\'s inputs, the values each takes and its answer: `lotics tools <name>` prints them, a connection\'s steps\nincluded; `query_integration_tools` lists the workspace\'s connections and the steps each opens.\n\n`return` is a call, not a JavaScript `return` statement. `validate` ends the workflow with an error\nwhen a check\'s `fail_when` is truthy; the check\'s `field_key` names the control its message lands on \u2014\nin an app workflow a declared input, or the `fld_` key of a field on a table the body names; a field of\nthe trigger table in a lifecycle workflow; in an automation it is not checked.\n\nThe name in `const x = await tool({...})` is the step\'s id; later expressions read its output as\n`x.records`, `x.id` and so on. A `// id: my_step` comment directly above a statement sets an explicit\nid; any other `//` comment there becomes the step\'s description.\n\n**`await` inside a statement** runs the call as its own step first, then reads its output where it is\nwritten: `size((await query_records({...})).records)`, an `if` test, a `return` value, a `for-of`\niterable, a tool input. `const x = c ? await t({...}) : null;` is stored as the `if` it means. An\n`await` that would run on some paths only \u2014 inside `&&`, `||`, `??`, `?.`, a nested ternary, a loop\ntest, a `validate` check \u2014 is refused; write the `if`.\n\n**Names are block-scoped, as in JavaScript** \u2014 `const`, `let`, loop items and `catch (e)`: sibling\nblocks may reuse a name and an inner block may shadow an outer one. A local may take a helper\'s name\n(`const size = 3;`), but calling `size(...)` while it is in scope is refused. Tool names, the reserved\nroots, `linked` and `_s` followed by digits cannot be bound.\n\n### Waiting for an approval\n\n`wait_for_approval` is the wait worth binding \u2014 `wait` and `wait_for_event` carry nothing to read.\nBind it to branch on the decision:\n\n```\nconst approval = await wait_for_approval({\n approvers: record["fld_approvers"],\n prompt: `Approve the quote for ${record["fld_name"]}?`,\n});\n\nif (approval.status == "approved") {\n // the approved path\n} else {\n // the rejected or timed-out path; approval.decision_comment says why\n}\n```\n\nIt resolves to `{ status: "approved" | "rejected" | "timed_out", decided_by: MemberId | null,\ndecided_at: ISO string, decision_comment: string | null }`.\n\n`approvers` takes a bare member id (`"mbr_\u2026"`), a bare group id (`"grp_\u2026"`) or a full principal\n(`{ type: "member_group", id: "grp_x" }`), alone or in a list \u2014 so a member field\'s value passes as it\nis.\n\n### An agent step\n\n`const x = await agent({ instructions, input, tools, model, output });` runs a model with tools as one\nstep \u2014 summarize a record, classify, draft text.\n\n- `instructions` \u2014 a fixed string.\n- `input` \u2014 an object literal; its fields are expressions, evaluated and handed to the model (`{}` for\n none). It is the ONLY workflow data the agent sees: read `record`, prior steps, `runtime` or the loop\n item here, never inside `instructions` or `tools`, which are fixed literals and read no binding.\n- `tools` \u2014 the names of the tools it may call.\n- `model` \u2014 optional; omit it to follow the platform\'s default model.\n- `output` \u2014 `{ mode: "text" }` resolves to a string; `{ mode: "object", schema }` to a typed object.\n\nOnly `x` comes back: in text mode `x` is the string itself, in object mode `x.field` reads a field the\n`schema` declares. The agent\'s own tool calls are not readable.\n\n## Keys, not names\n\n1. **Fields and options are named by key.** A field reads as `record["fld_status"]`, an option as\n `"opt_done"`, a linked field as `linked(record["fld_customer"])[0]["fld_name"]`. `get_table` lists\n each field\'s `key` and each option\'s `key`; a display name is refused at save with the key to use.\n2. **`==` against a multi-select means "includes".** `record["fld_tags"] == "opt_urgent"` on a\n multi-select is stored as `includes(record["fld_tags"], "opt_urgent")`; either spelling works.\n3. **Text renders labels.** Inside a template or a text tool input, a select, member or link value\n renders its display text: `` `${record["fld_status"]}` `` writes "Done", not `opt_done`.\n\n## What an expression reads\n\n- `record` \u2014 the trigger record (on an update, the record as it now stands).\n- `prev_record` \u2014 the record before the change, same shape (updates and deletes only).\n- `changes` \u2014 the fields an update changed, a PARTIAL map: `changes["fld_x"]?.next_value` and\n `?.prev_value`, the `?.` required (updates only).\n- `trigger` \u2014 what a non-record trigger carries (see **Triggers**). `trigger.data`,\n `trigger.prev_data` and `trigger.changes` are the same three roots spelled long; a saved body reads\n back in the short form.\n- a loop\'s item name, and `index`, the iteration\'s 0-based index.\n- `<step id>` \u2014 an earlier step\'s output (`dup.records`).\n- `runtime.timezone`, `runtime.workflow_id`, `runtime.execution_id`, `runtime.workspace_id`,\n `runtime.organization_id`, `runtime.change_origin`, `runtime.triggered_by_member_id`. The current\n time is `now()`.\n\n## Paths\n\n- `record.fld_x` and `record["fld_x"]` read a field; `[n]` reads a list\'s n-th item.\n- A path may start at an awaited call: `(await get_record({...})).data["fld_x"]`. It may not start at a\n helper\'s result \u2014 `first(found.records).id` is refused; bind `first(found.records)`, then read it.\n- A record reads in its declared shape wherever it comes from \u2014 the trigger, a tool result, a `let`, a\n callback parameter: a single select or member as its key or null, a link as its ids. (The record\n tools called outside a workflow return the stored arrays instead.)\n- `linked(record["fld_link"])[n]["fld_x"]` fetches the n-th linked row and reads a field of it; bare\n `linked(record["fld_link"])` is every linked row, one fetch per row. Its argument is a path ending on\n a link field and carries the guard: `linked(record?.["fld_link"])[0]`.\n- `changes["fld_link"]?.next_value` is the same list of ids; `linked()` over a change is refused \u2014\n read `linked(record["fld_link"])` or `linked(prev_record["fld_link"])`.\n\n## Operators and statements\n\nOperators in JavaScript precedence: `? :`, `||`, `??`, `&&`, `== !=`, `< <= > >=`, `+ -`, `* /`, prefix\n`! -`.\n\n- `??` is `coalesce(left, right)`; `?.` reads through a null (`a?.b`, `a?.[0]`, and `s?.trim()` for the\n method names listed under **Helpers**). `x?.()` is refused: helpers and tools are not values.\n- Templates use backticks and `${...}`.\n- Destructuring \u2014 `const { fld_status, fld_name } = record;` binds each name. Renames\n (`{ fld_status: s }`), quoted keys (`{ "fld_ref": ref }`), array patterns with holes\n (`const [first, , third] = xs;`) and defaults (`{ fld_note = "" }`, which apply on null too) work on\n `const`, `let` and `for (const { id } of rows)`. A tool result destructures directly:\n `const { records } = await query_records({...});`. `const a = 1, b = 2;` declares both. Nested\n patterns and rest are refused.\n- Spread \u2014 `[...a, b]` and `{ ...a, b: 1 }` (later keys win). Refused inside a tool input: bind the\n merged value first and pass the binding.\n- Shorthand \u2014 `{ table_id }` is `{ table_id: table_id }`.\n- `xs.push(a, b);` appends, also on a key (`o.items.push(v)`); `o.a.b = v;` sets a nested key;\n `x ??= v`, `x ||= v` and `x &&= v` assign. A `const` may be pushed to or have a key set, as in\n JavaScript; a loop item is read-only.\n- `undefined` is the same value as `null`. `=== undefined` and `!== undefined` are refused, since they\n cannot tell a missing key from null: test `isNull(x)`, or `includes(keys(o), "k")` for whether a key\n was sent.\n- A filter node may leave out `node_type` when its keys say which it is: `field_key` / `operator` /\n `value` a condition, `logic` / `children` a group, `path` / `condition` a traversal.\n- `function name(p = <default>) { return <expr>; }` \u2014 top level only, expanded at every call (a call\n may come before it). Every parameter needs a default, which gives it its type; the body is one\n `return <expr>;` reading only its parameters, helpers and the reserved roots \u2014 never the caller\'s\n names, nor `index`. No recursion; a function never called is refused. A body read back shows the\n expression at each call, not the `function`.\n\n**try / catch.** `try { ... } catch (e) { ... }` catches a tool error or an expression error inside the\nbody; `e` is `{ message, type, step_id?, detail? }`. A failed `validate` and a `return` are not\nerrors \u2014 they end the workflow \u2014 and a step that runs after a wait inside the `try` is outside it.\n`finally` is refused: put always-run steps after the `try`.\n\n**Loops.** `for-of`, `while (cond) { ... }`, `do { ... } while (cond);` and\n`for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) { ... }`, each capped at 10,000 iterations. `break;` and `continue;` act\non the innermost loop; labels and `for-in` are refused.\n\n**`let`.** `let x = <expr>;` declares a block-scoped variable; the initializer is required\n(`let x = null;`). Reassign with `=`, `+=`, `-=`, `*=`, `/=`, `%=`, `??=`, `++` and `--`. Re-declaring in\nthe same block is refused; shadowing in a nested block is allowed. A `let` keeps its value across a\n`wait`, `wait_for_event` or `wait_for_approval`.\n\n**Refused:** regex, `new`, `typeof`, `instanceof`, `in`, `delete`, `void`, rest elements, computed keys,\nclasses, `throw`, `import`, `export`, and a function as a value (`const f = (x) => ...`).\n\n## Helpers\n\nCalled as `size(arr)`. The method form works only where the name is also a JavaScript method \u2014\n`x.trim()`, `arr.includes(v)`, `arr.at(-1)`, `arr.map(fn)`, `s.split(",")`; `arr.size()` is refused.\n\n- **Null and type**: `isNull`, `isNotNull`, `isEmpty`, `isString`, `isNumber`, `isBoolean`, `isArray`,\n `isObject`, `coalesce`, `get`, `toNumber`, `toString`, `typeOf`, `parseJson`, `toJson`\n- **Lists**: `size`, `first`, `requireFirst` (the first item, refusing an empty list \u2014 after a\n `validate` on the size it saves an `if`), `last`, `nth`, `at` (`at(arr, -1)` counts from the end),\n `includes`, `filter`, `find`, `some`, `every`, `pluck`, `sortBy`, `groupBy`, `countBy`, `unique`,\n `uniqueBy`, `compact` (drops falsy items), `flatten`, `reverse`, `slice`, `concat`, `difference`,\n `differenceBy`, `intersection`, `intersectionBy`, `list`, `reduce(arr, (acc, x) => ..., initial)`,\n `range(end)` / `range(start, end)`\n- **Math**: `sum`, `sumBy`, `mean`, `meanBy`, `minBy`, `maxBy`, `round`, `ceil`, `floor`, `min`, `max`,\n `abs`, `mod`, `pow`, `sqrt`, `clamp`, `percentage`\n- **Text**: `upper`, `lower`, `capitalize`, `trim`, `contains`, `startsWith`, `endsWith`, `replace`,\n `replaceAll`, `substring`, `length`, `split`, `join`, `padStart(str, length, char)`,\n `padEnd(str, length, char)`, `formatNumber(x, decimals)` (ungrouped, as `x.toFixed`),\n `formatDecimal(x, decimals, locale)` (grouped: `formatDecimal(151000, 0, "vi-VN")` is `151.000`),\n `numberToWords(x, lang?)` (an integer in words: Vietnamese, or English with `"en"`)\n- **Objects**: `keys`, `values`, `entries`, `nonNullKeys`, `pick`, `omit`, `merge`\n- **Dates**, in the workspace\'s timezone: `now`, `formatDate`, `parseDate`, `addDays`, `subDays`,\n `addHours`, `subHours`, `addMinutes`, `subMinutes`, `startOfDay`, `endOfDay`,\n `differenceInCalendarDays`, `differenceInHours`, `differenceInMinutes`, `isBefore`, `isAfter`,\n `isSameDay`, `isToday`, `isWithinRange`\n- **Other**: `formatCurrency(amount, locale, currency)`, `randomNumber(len)`,\n `randomAlphaNumeric(len)`, `sample(items)` (a random item)\n\nA date helper given a null or empty date returns null, so guard its result before comparing or\nwriting it: `differenceInCalendarDays(a, b) ?? 0`.\n\n`filter`, `find`, `some`, `every`, `sortBy`, `pluck`, `sumBy`, `meanBy`, `minBy`, `maxBy`, `groupBy`,\n`countBy`, `uniqueBy`, `differenceBy` and `intersectionBy` take a path string\n(`filter(record.items, "Status", "open")`) or a callback\n(`filter(record.items, x => x.Status == "open" && x.Amount > 100)`); `reduce` takes a callback and an\ninitial value. A callback gets `(item, idx)` (`reduce`: `(acc, item, idx)`) and reads `record`,\n`runtime`, the names in scope, loop items and an enclosing callback\'s parameters. Its body is one\nexpression \u2014 `(x) => <expr>`, `(x) => { return <expr>; }` or `function (x) { return <expr>; }`;\nseveral statements, `async` and named function expressions are refused.\n\n## Writing a field: null and undefined\n\nIn `update_records`\' `set` and `create_records`\' `records`:\n\n- `null` clears the field.\n- `undefined`, or leaving the key out, leaves the field as it is.\n\nSo passing a read that may be null (`record["fld_x"]`) keeps a value when there is one and clears the\nfield when there is none. Use `coalesce(x, fallback)` only for a real fallback value.\n\n## Examples\n\nCompare a link by id. Display text is not unique, and a link reads as a list of ids \u2014 `==` against a\nstring is a type error:\n\n```\nconst found = await query_records({\n table_id: "tbl_customers",\n filters: { node_type: "condition", field_key: "fld_name", operator: "equals", value: "ACME Corp" },\n});\nconst customer = first(found.records);\n\nif (customer && includes(record["fld_customer"], customer.id)) {\n // \u2026\n}\n```\n\n## Table lifecycle workflows\n\nA lifecycle workflow is bound to one table and one event, and its source has no `on({...})` line:\n\n- `after_create` \u2014 a create, and a draft\'s submit (the moment it becomes a record).\n- `after_update` \u2014 every field edit, a draft\'s included.\n- `after_delete`.\n\nA lifecycle workflow runs after the write commits, with every step; its errors are logged and never\nfail the write. What refuses a write before it lands is a table check (see **Table\nchecks**). An `after_update` workflow that writes its own table saves with a `loop_potential`\nwarning: its write fires it again.\n\n| reads | on |\n|---|---|\n| `record` | every event \u2014 the new record on create, the record as it now stands on update, the deleted record on delete |\n| `prev_record` | updates and deletes \u2014 the record before |\n| `changes["fld_x"]?.next_value` / `?.prev_value` | updates \u2014 the fields that changed |\n\n### Gating with `if_source`\n\n`if_source` is one JavaScript expression, reading what the body reads, tested before the workflow\nruns. When it is falsy the workflow does not run at all \u2014 no execution, no log. Use it so a workflow\nthat cares about some events only skips the rest:\n\n- a status reaching an option: `changes["fld_status"]?.next_value == "opt_done"`\n- a field cleared: `isNull(record["fld_assignee"])`\n- a direct write, not a workflow\'s cascade:\n `includes(["member", "chat_agent", "api_client"], runtime.change_origin.type)` \u2014 name every\n direct-write origin rather than testing for one: `member` is a person in the browser, and the same\n edit over MCP, the CLI or the API arrives as `api_client`.\n\nIn `if_source`, `runtime.change_origin` is the origin of the write that fired it; in the body, it is\nthe workflow\'s own.\n\n## Table checks\n\nA table check is one condition its table\'s record writes must not meet, declared beside the table\'s\n`unique`. It is not a workflow: it reads the write and a few lookups and answers yes or no, so it\ncannot change data. It runs inside the write, on every create, update or delete it is `on`, whichever\nsurface makes it \u2014 a person, the API, the CLI, an agent, a workflow. A refusal writes nothing and\nanswers with the check\'s message, under its field when the check names one, and names the check.\n\nOn the CLI or in chat, `set_table_check` creates one, or changes one when given its `table_check_id`\nand only the parts that change, and `remove_table_check` removes one. `get_table` lists a table\'s\nchecks in the source they are written in.\n\n| part | what it holds |\n|---|---|\n| `on` | the writes it checks: any of `create`, `update`, `delete` |\n| `when` | optional expression; the check runs only on a write where it is truthy. It cannot read lookups. |\n| `lookups` | optional, by name, the rows to read: `{ table_id, filter, limit }`, the filter as `query_records` takes it, `limit` from 1 to 50 (50 when left out). A filter value may read the record. |\n| `fail_when` | expression; truthy refuses the write |\n| `message` | expression for the refusal\'s text \u2014 a fixed text is a quoted string |\n| `field_key` | optional; the field the refusal is shown under |\n\nEvery expression is written in the grammar above and reads:\n\n- `record` \u2014 the record as it will be stored; on a delete, the record being deleted.\n- `prev_record` \u2014 on an update or a delete, the record before.\n- `changes` \u2014 on an update, the fields it changes.\n- `lookups.<name>` \u2014 in `fail_when` and `message`, the rows that lookup read.\n- `runtime.timezone`, `runtime.workspace_id`, `runtime.organization_id`, `runtime.change_origin` (the\n write\'s origin), `runtime.triggered_by_member_id` (the member writing; null for a write no member\n made), and `now()`.\n\nA check on several operations reads only what all of them carry, so one on creates and updates reads\nneither `prev_record` nor `changes`.\n\nA lookup reads with the access of the member who last saved the check, so saving one requires reading\nevery table its lookups read. It reads committed rows: two writes at the same moment can each pass a\ncheck the other would fail, so values no two rows may share are the table\'s `unique`, not a check.\n\nA `when`, a lookup or a `fail_when` that cannot decide \u2014 it fails, or the write\'s time runs out \u2014\nrefuses the write. A draft is checked when it is submitted, as a create; its edits before that are\nnot. A restored record is checked as a create. Cloning a table copies its checks to the member who\nclones it, and is refused when that member cannot read a table a check\'s lookup reads.\n\nOne open order per reference, a row never counting against itself:\n\n```\n{\n "table_id": "tbl_orders",\n "name": "One open order per reference",\n "on": ["create", "update"],\n "when": "isNull(record[\\"fld_closed_at\\"])",\n "lookups": {\n "same_ref": "{ table_id: \\"tbl_orders\\", filter: { node_type: \\"group\\", logic: \\"and\\", children: [ { field_key: \\"fld_ref\\", operator: \\"equals\\", value: record[\\"fld_ref\\"] }, { field_key: \\"fld_closed_at\\", operator: \\"is_empty\\" } ] }, limit: 2 }"\n },\n "fail_when": "some(lookups.same_ref, (r) => r.id != record.id)",\n "message": "\\"An open order already has this reference.\\"",\n "field_key": "fld_ref"\n}\n```\n';

A write is live: the app's next\ncall uses it. `get_app_capabilities` lists an app's aliases with their params and inputs.\n\nEach reader returns a fingerprint of what it read \u2014 `get_app_query`'s `sha`, `get_app_workflow`'s\n`body_sha`, `get_app_agent`'s `instructions_sha` \u2014 and a write built on that read passes it back:\n`set_app_queries`' `expected_shas` (alias \u2192 `sha`), `set_app_workflow`'s `expected_body_sha`,\n`set_app_agent`'s `expected_instructions_sha`, `remove_app_binding`'s `expected_sha`. The write is\nrefused, and writes nothing, when the binding changed since; omit it for an unconditional write.\n\n## Queries\n\nA query declaration is `{ ast, params?, description?, templates? }`:\n\n- `ast` \u2014 a query template (a QueryNode, below). It fixes the tables, filters and columns the alias\n reads, so a caller cannot widen it.\n- `params` \u2014 the typed value holes the caller fills, each an input declaration (see **Inputs**),\n named in the ast as `{{params.<name>}}`. A param fills a VALUE position only \u2014 a filter value, a\n `search` \u2014 never a `table_id` or a field key. Every token the ast names is declared. An optional\n param left unset drops the conditions that read it; a required param that arrives empty is\n refused where a filter reads it.\n- `description` \u2014 one line saying what the query returns, for an agent choosing between aliases.\n- `templates` \u2014 the document templates an export of its rows may fill, by name:\n `{ <name>: { template_id: \"dtl_\u2026\", rows: \"<key the template lists the rows under>\" } }`.\n\nA save checks what a deploy checks: every table is in this workspace and within the owner's reach,\nevery projected, filtered and sorted field resolves, every param token is declared, and a key a\nnode's kind does not take (a stray `sort`, `limit`, `filter`, `search`) is refused by name.\n\n`set_app_queries` takes `{ <alias>: <declaration> }`, one alias or several, and merges each: send\nonly the fields you change, `null` clears `params`, `description` or `templates` (never `ast`), and a\nnew alias needs an `ast`. Any other field is refused by name. An alias it omits is kept.\n`remove_app_binding` with `kind: \"query\"` deletes one; `get_app_query` reads one back.\n\n### The query tree\n\nEvery node has a `kind`; all but `from_table` read the node under `from` (`join`: `left`/`right`,\n`union`: `sources`).\n\n| `kind` | Keys |\n|---|---|\n| `from_table` | `table_id`, `filter?`, `search?`, `sort?`, `limit?` |\n| `project` | `columns` \u2014 the output columns |\n| `filter` | `predicate` \u2014 a filter tree over the input's columns |\n| `join` | `left`, `right`, `on: { left_column, right_column }`, `type: \"inner\" \\| \"left\"` |\n| `union` | `sources` (at least two, columns aligned by name and type) |\n| `group` | `by` (columns, or `{ bucket: { source, granularity, output } }`), `aggregates` |\n| `window` | `partition_by`, `order_by`, `frame?`, `aggregates?`, `functions?` |\n| `sort` | `by: [{ field_key, order }]` |\n| `limit` | `n`, `offset?` or `keyset?` |\n| `unpivot` | `passthrough`, `row_columns`, `rows` \u2014 one source row into several |\n| `unnest` | `source`, `output`, `display_output?`, `keep_empty?` \u2014 one row per element of a multi-value cell |\n\nFilters (`from_table.filter`, `filter.predicate`, an aggregate's `filter`) are the filter grammar \u2014 the\n`filters` reference \u2014 over the input's columns, taking `{{params.x}}` as values. `search` matches\nevery text-bearing field of the row, accent- and case-insensitive.\n\nA `project` column is a field key as a bare string (output name and type come from the field), or\n`{ output?, type?, source, writable_target?, limit? }` to rename, compute or bound one. A computed\n`source` is a field key, `{ literal }`, `{ eq: [a, b] }`, `{ neq: [a, b] }`, `{ isEmpty }`,\n`{ isNotEmpty }`, `{ coalesce: [...] }`, `{ concat: [...] }`, `{ record_id: true }`,\n`{ link: { source, field } }` (a field of the first linked record),\n`{ link_agg: { source, field, operation } }` (`sum`, `avg`, `min`, `max`, `count`, `string_agg`\nover every linked record), or `{ expression }`. A computed column states its `type`: `text`,\n`number`, `boolean`, `date`, `datetime`, `select`, `select_record_link`, `select_member`, `files`\nor `json`. `limit` (1\u201310) bounds a `files` column's entries per cell.\n\nAn aggregate column is `{ output, type, operation, input_column?, filter? }` \u2014 `string_agg` also\ntakes `separator`, `distinct` and `max_values`. A `window` function is\n`{ output, fn }` for `row_number`, `rank`, `dense_rank`, `percent_rank`, `cume_dist`, plus\n`buckets` for `ntile` and `input_column`, `offset?`, `default?` for `lag` / `lead`; functions need\na non-empty `order_by`.\n\n## Inputs\n\nA query's `params`, a workflow's `inputs` and an agent's `inputs` are one vocabulary: a map of\nname \u2192 `{ type, required?, description?, \u2026per type }`. An entry is required unless it states\n`required: false`.\n\n| `type` | Takes |\n|---|---|\n| `text`, `number`, `boolean`, `date`, `datetime`, `email` | \u2014 |\n| `record_link` | `table_id`; `multi?`; `max?` (with `multi`, the most ids one call carries) |\n| `select` | exactly one of `options: [{ label, value }]` or `field: \"fld_\u2026\"` (a select field whose CURRENT options back it); `multi?` |\n| `date_range` | `include_time?` |\n| `member` | `multi?`; `group?` (a member group the value must belong to) |\n| `file` | `multi?` \u2014 an uploaded `fil_\u2026` id, for a files field |\n| `json` | \u2014 any value |\n| `object` | `fields` \u2014 a nested map of entries |\n| `array` | `items` \u2014 one entry |\n\nNesting stops at depth 8. A `field`-form select tracks the field's options as they change; an\ninline `options` set is a fixed list.\n\n## Outputs\n\nA workflow's and an agent's `outputs` declare the structured data handed back: a map of\nname \u2192 `{ type, required?, description?, \u2026per type }`, every entry present unless it states\n`required: false`.\n\n| `type` | Takes |\n|---|---|\n| `text`, `number`, `boolean`, `date`, `datetime`, `email`, `json` | \u2014 |\n| `record_link` | `table_id`, `multi?` |\n| `select` | exactly one of `options: [{ label, value }]` or `field: \"fld_\u2026\"`; `multi?` |\n| `object` | `fields` |\n| `array` | `items` |\n\nThe returned value is checked against it, and the app reads it typed. An inline `options` set is\nalso enforced on the value returned, so the producer is told the legal keys; a `field`-form select\nkeeps the type tracking the live field.\n\n## Workflows\n\n`set_app_workflow` binds a workflow body to an alias: `{ app_id, alias, source, inputs?, outputs?,\nname?, description? }`.\n\n- `source` is the body with no `on({...})` trigger \u2014 the app is the trigger. It reads each declared\n input as `trigger.app_workflow.inputs.<name>`; no record is in scope, so it reads each one by id\n with `get_record`.\n The body's steps are the `workflows` reference.\n- `inputs` is the payload the call site passes (see **Inputs**). Omitted, an existing workflow keeps\n its inputs; on a first bind it takes an untyped payload. `{}` clears them.\n- `outputs` is what `return({ data })` hands back (see **Outputs**). Usually omit it: the type is\n derived from the body's `return({ data })`, and the result echoes the bound `outputs`. Declared,\n the body does not save unless its return matches.\n- A save checks the body \u2014 parse, type-check against the declared inputs, names, lint, structure \u2014\n and answers with `[source/code] location: message` lines. `verify_only: true` makes every check\n and writes nothing. A call naming a live alias replaces its body in place, keeping its run history.\n- A call whose payload does not match `inputs` is refused before the body runs.\n\n`get_app_workflow` reads the body back; `dry_run_workflow` with `trigger_type: \"app_workflow\"`\nruns it against sample inputs before binding; `remove_app_binding` with `kind: \"workflow\"` unbinds\nit.\n\n## Agents\n\n`set_app_agent` binds a streaming tool-loop agent to an alias. A run streams its work to the app,\nreturns a typed result and keeps a run history per session. The declaration:\n\n- `instructions` \u2014 the task, every run. A new alias needs it.\n- `tool_names` \u2014 the tools it may call, from these and no other: `analyze_pdf_template`,\n `code_edit_file`, `code_exec`, `code_read_file`, `code_write_file`, `excel_create_file`,\n `excel_find_cells`, `excel_format_range`, `excel_get_range`, `excel_update_range`,\n `generate_bank_qr_code`, `generate_document`, `generate_image`, `generate_qr_code`, `get_template`,\n `grep_knowledge`, `list_banks`, `list_knowledge`, `lookup_business`, `query_templates`,\n `read_knowledge`, `run_app_query`, `run_app_workflow`, `validate_excel_template`,\n `vietcombank_convert_currency`, `view_files`, `word_create_document`, `word_find_text`,\n `word_get_content`, `word_get_table_data`, `word_insert_conditional`, `word_insert_loop`,\n `word_replace_text`. `[]` is a reasoning-only agent. A few fields of a document read well through\n the `excel_*` / `word_*` tools; a cross-check, reconciliation or transform a decision rests on\n belongs in the code tools.\n- `query_aliases` / `workflow_aliases` \u2014 the app's own queries and workflows it may call through\n `run_app_query` / `run_app_workflow`. They are its whole reach over records: no agent tool takes a\n `table_id`, so a read is bounded by the query's tables, rows and columns, and a write goes through\n the app's own workflow.\n- `knowledge_doc_ids` \u2014 knowledge docs it may read with `grep_knowledge` / `read_knowledge`\n (declare them in `tool_names`). Each must be one the app owner and you can use. Nothing is\n inlined and size does not matter. The list is the agent's whole reach \u2014 `list_knowledge` finds no\n doc outside it \u2014 so name a doc's id in `instructions` to point it there. `code_exec` computes\n across a corpus (counting, cross-referencing); reading needs only the knowledge tools.\n- `model_tier` \u2014 `haiku`, `sonnet` or `opus`. Omitted, the run follows the platform's default tier\n and moves with new models; pin one only as a tested choice, and never `haiku`, a utility tier.\n- `effort_level` \u2014 `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh` or `max`, one the pinned tier supports; it\n needs `model_tier`.\n- `prefix_cache_ttl` \u2014 `5m` (the default) or `1h`. `1h` doubles the cache write price and pays only\n when runs land 5 to 60 minutes apart, as a scheduled sweep does.\n- `inputs` \u2014 the per-run payload (see **Inputs**); omitted, the payload is untyped.\n- `outputs` \u2014 the structured result (see **Outputs**), checked before the run is saved and typed\n as `run.output` in the app; omitted, the result is the final message.\n- `writes` \u2014 where the outputs land: `{ table_id, row, fields }`, `row` naming a single\n `record_link` input to `table_id` and `fields` mapping each output name to a field key of that\n table. A result that validates is written to that row under the app's authority.\n\nSend only what you change: an omitted field keeps its stored value, `null` clears an optional one.\n`get_app_agent` reads one back; `remove_app_binding` with `kind: \"agent\"` deletes it.\n";
