 `withSetup` lays what it is given over what the connector already carries, and keeps it on the connector's vendor record, so a spread copy of the connector keeps it too. A config that needs a driver made otherwise (another bridge, other options) swaps the driver and keeps the fake: `withSetup(github, { driver: () => githubDriver({ bridge }) })`. It is for connector packages and configs, not for workflows, which the lint does not let import it. Both are optional: a connector without a driver declares its operations and implements none, so a workflow using one is refused; a connector without a fake has none for sandbox runs, which the app's connector page says.
 
-A connector that signs visitors in to a public site attaches a login half too, as `login`: `withSetup(connector, { login: (context) => half })`. The app calls it once per public site whose `site.ts` names the connector (`defineSite({ public: true, login: "<vendor>" })`), when it starts, with a `LoginContext` (the database, a key of its own derived from `SANOMA_SECRETS_KEY` to sign its cookies with, a vendor's secrets, the site's origins); a login that keeps tables in the database migrates them there, serialized and idempotent. The `LoginHalf` it makes (see its type) answers the provider's stable subject for a request, never a principal: the app makes the visitor's principal from it, so a connector cannot set a visitor's groups. A visitor's address, for rate limits, is the `CLIENT_IP_HEADER` header the app sets, never `X-Forwarded-For`. One vendor's connectors attach one `login`, as for a driver. [`@sanoma-ai/connector-better-auth`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sanoma-ai/connector-better-auth) is one, email and password on the company's database. The app makes it as it starts and sends it every request to the site's own host ([public sites](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sanoma-ai/app#public-sites)).

-A model connector attaches a model half, as `model`: `withSetup(connector, { model: (context) => provider })`, an AI SDK provider (`ProviderV4` from `@ai-sdk/provider`) with the vendor's adapter as the transport. The app makes it for its model registry, once per resolved config and client (again after one that throws), where its models are `<vendor>/<model-id>`; it answers `languageModel("default")` with the connector's own default. Its `ModelContext` gives it the secrets as a login's does (the environment's, then the stored credentials), which it reads when a model is called, so a key set on the connector page is used without a restart (unless the environment sets one, which wins); its driver declares the key in `env`, with no operations if it needs none. One vendor's connectors attach one `model`. [`@sanoma-ai/connector-anthropic`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sanoma-ai/connector-anthropic) is one.

 A git host's connector attaches a remote half, as `remote`: `withSetup(connector, { remote: () => half })`, a `RemoteHalf` made once per resolved config and kept in `ResolvedConfig.remotes` by vendor; `remoteFor(remotes, url)` finds the one whose `matches` reads a clone URL, with the repository. `open(repo, { secrets })` gives a `SourceHost`: the repository's pull requests (find, open, squash-merge at a head, close), the `sanoma` commit status, and `enforcement(base)`, whether the host refuses a change to the branch that is not a merge (`HostEnforcement`); its `token(prefer)` is what a push signs in with. `webhook(request, { secrets })` verifies a delivery and says what happened (`RemoteEvent`: a branch pushed, a pull request closed). It reads its tokens through `secrets` when called, as a model half does. One vendor's connectors attach one `remote`.

 ### Apps
 
-A company's apps are the folders of `apps/`, each holding what the root does: `workflows/`, `resources/` (its `data.ts` too), `policies/`, `scenarios/` and `sites/`. An app is merged into the repo from a source repository, or made there; its `app.ts` says which, `export default defineApp({ source: "https://github.com/acme/crm" })` (`defineApp({})` for the company's own), read with oxc and never run, as `readApps(root)` reads each (`AppEntry`, `{ name, dir, source? }`, by name). A folder's name is the app's (`APP_NAME`: a lowercase letter, then lowercase letters and digits); `describeConfig` refuses another as a problem, and lists the apps as `apps`.

A folder's name is the app's (`APP_NAME`: a lowercase letter, then lowercase letters and digits); `describeConfig` refuses another as a problem, and lists the apps as `apps`.
 
 What an app's folder declares is named with the folder, from where its file is (`appOfFile`: the nearest directory with a `sanoma.config.ts`, then `apps/<app>/`), never written: a collection `customers` in `apps/crm/resources/data.ts` is `crm.customers`, its operations `data.crm.customers.get` and so on, and a workflow `follow-up` in `apps/crm/workflows/` is `crm.follow-up`, each with `app: "crm"`; what the root declares keeps its name. So two apps may declare one name. A file is an app's while the nearest directory above it with a `sanoma.config.ts` is the company's root (an app may keep its own `package.json`; a `node_modules` ends the search). A workflow calls an app's collection as `ctx.data.crm.customers.get(…)`, and a site as `api.data.crm.customers.list()`; an app's workflow is `api.crmFollowUp` (`apiNameOf`), and its Cedar action `workflow:crm.follow-up`. A site in `apps/crm/sites/pipeline/` is `crm/pipeline`, at `/sites/crm/pipeline`. `describeConfig`'s workflows, collections and sites carry their `app`.
 
 The people are the company's: an app's data files declare none (`readPeople` refuses one, naming its file). A workflow may import the root's `resources/data.ts` and any app's. A relative import from one app's files into another's folder is a warning (`crossAppImports(root, apps)`, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/describe`, which `sanoma check` prints), since a company may take one app without the other: reach the other through `ctx` or `api` instead. A collection or site at the root named as an app is a problem: `api.data.<app>` and `/sites/<app>/` are the app's.
 
-Taking an app is a git merge into a draft of the company's `Source` (the `sanoma` package's `localGitSource`). `draft.take({ url, ref?, folder?, author })` fetches the source repository, a public company repo holding one `apps/<folder>/` (`folder` names it when it holds more), by https alone, and merges it with its history as one merge commit. `draft.update({ folder, author })` merges the new commits of the default branch of the URL the app's `app.ts` names, and `source.behind(folder)` counts them, fetched now (both refuse a source that shares no history with the checkout). Either merge takes `apps/<folder>/` (a take, the source's folder whole) and `package.json` (its connectors, both sides kept); every other file stays the company's, as does a file one side deleted, since the source's root is the starter's. Both return an `AppMerge` (`{ folder, revision, merged, conflicts }`): a line both sides changed is committed with git's markers (diff3: ours, the base, theirs) and its file named in `conflicts`, so the draft's checks fail until the agent resolves it. An update needs the take's merge commit in the history: a draft that takes an app is merged into `main` as a merge, not squashed.

 A visitor of a public site is a principal too, which no data file declares: `visitorPrincipal(login, subject)` is one signed in through a visitor login (`visitor:<login>:<subject>`, in the group `visitors`), and `ANONYMOUS_PRINCIPAL` the one a page with nobody signed in runs as (`anonymous`, in no group); `isVisitor(principal)` tells either by its id. `admit` takes a visitor's id whatever the files say and stamps its groups, never the ones given; the staff logins (a sign-in) admit none, and a visitor sets no credential and decides no approval. So `visitors` and `anonymous` are no group's name, and `anonymous` and the `visitor:…` form no person's or agent's id (`readPeople` reports them, as it does `agents`).

An operation declared `idempotent` is tried up to three times (after 1 and 2 seconds) unless the error says `retryable: false` or the reply fails the output schema; any other operation is tried once. When the tries run out, the run fails with the last try's error, not a wrapper: for a `DriverError`, `errorCode(err)` is `"driver_failed"` and the ledger records the vendor's message, status and code. Anything else a driver throws (a `TypeError`, a plain `Error`) fails the run as it is, with no code.
 
 ### Credentials
 
-A driver reads its credentials from the environment when it is called, and declares them in `defineDriver`'s third argument: `defineDriver(acme, impl, { env: z.object({ ACME_API_KEY: z.string().describe("an API key, from Settings, API keys"), ACME_REGION: z.enum(["us", "eu"]).optional().describe("the region; default us") }) })`. Each key is a variable's name, its `.describe()` the one-line manual, `.optional()` marks one that may be unset. The driver reads the raw environment, so `.default()` and `.transform()` are not applied to what it reads (use `.optional()` and name the default in `.describe()`), and a `.refine()` or `.superRefine()` on the `z.object` is not evaluated, only its fields. Only the declared names are read, an empty value counts as unset, and a value is never kept: each variable is set, missing or invalid, with the schema's reason.
+The runtime separates a secret's storage, a connector's authentication method, and the named account used by a call. `secret("NAME")` remains a logical reference. `SanomaConfig.secrets` selects the store and maps names to locations; `connections` and `connectionRules` declare account requirements. Credential values stay outside code, workflow inputs, durable steps, descriptions and ledger records.
 
-The environment stays the only interface a driver sees, but a value need not come from a file. Locally, set values live in the `sanoma_credentials` table in the config's database (`databaseUrl`), which the runtime creates on first use, encrypted with AES-256-GCM under `SANOMA_SECRETS_KEY`, bound to its name (a value moved to another row does not decrypt) (32 random bytes, base64; `sanoma` writes one to `.env` when there is none): storing a value without the key fails, naming it. A value stored before encryption is read as it is, and encrypted on its next write. Set one from the app's connector page, or with `client.setCredential("GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY", value, { by: "alice" })`, and delete it with `client.clearCredential(name, { by })`; `client.credentials()` gives each vendor's statuses, each with its `source` (`environment` or `stored`) and, for a stored one, who set it and when. A name no driver declares, or a value its schema refuses, is refused with the reason, never the value. `client.setSecret(name, value, { by })` stores a value under any variable's name, declared or not (a data file's `secret()`, or the app's own, such as its GitHub App's keys), checking a declared one as `setCredential` does, and `client.secrets(names)` reads values back for server code, the environment's first, with their `source` and who stored them. `startWorker` loads the stored values of the declared variables its environment leaves unset into `process.env` and listens for changes, so a value set or cleared is live without a restart: drivers read `process.env` when they are called. A worker whose listener drops reconnects and loads them again. A variable the process environment sets wins over a stored one, always. The worker starts whether or not every variable is there: it prints one line naming each vendor with a variable missing (and not optional) or invalid, `sanoma: 2 of 5 connectors not configured yet: ghost, resend; set their variables on the connector pages or in the environment` (`unconfigured` names them too; `quiet: true` prints nothing, as `runScenarios` does, its runs calling only the fakes). A call to that vendor then fails, as the call's own failure: a `DriverError` that is not retried, saying why, `<vendor> is not configured: <NAME> (<description>), <NAME> is invalid: <why>; set it on the connector page` (or `set in the environment`, when an invalid value is there: the environment wins over a stored value), checked against the environment at the moment of the call, so a value set on the connector page (or in `process.env`) takes effect on the next call, with no restart. The call's `op.called` record carries it, and the run fails with it like any other final driver failure. `startApp` starts the same way, and its connector pages show and set them.
+The store resolver is used by the worker's `call.secrets`, resource secret resolution, `SanomaClient` reads and mutations, and the app's login/model/remote secret lookup. It does not copy values into `process.env` or fall back to another store. Some shipped connector drivers still declare an `env` schema and read process variables themselves; migrating those drivers and their SDK/bridge sessions to connection-scoped authentication is a separate step. Registering a named connection does not by itself migrate such a driver.
 
-The values are plain text in the local database: the same exposure as a `.env` file on the same disk. Keep `.env` (`node --env-file-if-exists=.env`) for the bootstrap values a worker needs before it can read the database: the database URL, the bridge binary, the port. A value never reaches the ledger or the description; see [Secrets](#secrets) for why one must never be an input either.
+`client.setCredential(name, value, { by })` validates a driver-declared name and writes through the configured binding. `client.setSecret(name, value, { by })` also accepts undeclared logical names. `client.clearCredential(name, { by })` conditionally deletes a declared value; `client.clearSecret(name, { by })` also accepts undeclared logical names. These operations refuse an externally managed binding or a read-only store. `client.credentials()` returns statuses, storage location, ownership and available change metadata without values; `client.secrets(names)` returns values to trusted server code only. The provider is validated when the client or worker starts; missing connector credentials can still be entered later.
+
+#### Secret store configuration
+
+```ts
+// sanoma.config.ts
+import { defineConfig, type SecretConfiguration } from "sanoma";
+
+const secrets = {
+  namespace: "local",
+  bindings: {
+    SUPPORT_AUTH: { path: "mail/support", management: "sanoma" },
+    FINANCE_AUTH: { path: "mail/finance", management: "external" },
+    BUILD_TOKEN: { env: "CI_BUILD_TOKEN" },
+    SANOMA_SIGNING_KEY: { bootstrap: "SANOMA_SIGNING_KEY" },
+    SANOMA_SECRETS_KEY: { bootstrap: "SANOMA_SECRETS_KEY" },
+  },
+} satisfies SecretConfiguration;
+
+export default defineConfig({ connectors: [], secrets });
+```
+
+Without `store`, the runtime uses its encrypted Postgres adapter. Without `namespace`, it uses `default`. An unbound name resolves to the same path in that namespace, managed by Sanoma. A `{ path, management: "external" }` binding is read-only to Sanoma even when its store can write. An `{ env }` binding reads that exact variable, is read-only, and does not fall back when absent. A `{ bootstrap }` binding explicitly exposes one deployment key to trusted host-secret resolution; it reads the corresponding environment or mounted-file input and never stores the key in Postgres. Bootstrap keys and recovery are described [below](#bootstrap-keys).
+
+An external adapter is a `SecretStore` instance supplied as `secrets.store`. It authenticates to one deployment's authorized storage before Sanoma can read values. Prefer a scoped workload identity where the adapter supports it; otherwise deliver its bootstrap credential through the host. Do not make that credential depend on reading the same store it unlocks. AWS Secrets Manager, Supabase Vault, HashiCorp Vault, Cloudflare Secrets Store, managed KMS storage and transfer tooling are not shipped by this foundation.
+
+Keep deployment composition in config code, outside workflows. For example, given an adapter instance already authenticated as `liveStore`:
+
+```ts
+import type { SecretConfiguration, SecretStore } from "sanoma";
+
+export function stores(liveStore: SecretStore) {
+  return {
+    local: { namespace: "local" },
+    preview: {
+      namespace: "preview",
+      bindings: { SUPPORT_AUTH: { env: "PREVIEW_MAIL_AUTH" } },
+    },
+    live: {
+      store: liveStore,
+      namespace: "live",
+      bindings: { SUPPORT_AUTH: { path: "mail/support", management: "external" } },
+    },
+  } satisfies Record<"local" | "preview" | "live", SecretConfiguration>;
+}
+```
+
+Pass exactly the selected configuration to `defineConfig`. A namespace is a routing boundary, not authorization: preview identities must be unable to read production values, and a built-in preview should have its own database and encryption key. Cloning the code grants no storage access. The config description exposes store ID, namespace and bindings, never the provider object or its credentials.
+
+The adapter contract uses `read({ namespace, path })`, `write(address, value, { expectedVersion, by })`, `delete(address, { expectedVersion, by })` and `validate(namespace)`. A read returns an opaque version beside the value; `expectedVersion: null` creates only when absent, and a version replaces or deletes only that version. `ensure` uses create-if-absent and reads the winner of a concurrent creation. Providers advertise writable access, a byte limit, conditional-write guarantees (`atomic`, `coordinated` or `none`), deletion behavior and change detection. `coordinated` covers cooperating Sanoma writers only; it cannot promise safety against external writers. Unsupported conditional writes are refused, not emulated with an unsafe read followed by a write.
+
+The built-in adapter stores one encrypted value or credential bundle per namespace/path, with a fresh version on each write. AES-256-GCM authenticates the complete namespace/path identity. It rejects plaintext rows and ciphertext moved to another address. `SecretStoreError` returns fixed codes without provider responses or secret values. Connector authentication declares its own versioned schema with `defineAuthentication`: `api-key`, `fields`, `oauth2` or `signed`, with storage requirements; `workload-identity` needs no persisted credential bundle. Connector authors use `checkAuthenticationStore`, `encodeCredentials` and `decodeCredentials` inside trusted code. These contracts do not implement OAuth consent, refresh or vendor account verification.
+
+Adapter authors can run `checkSecretStore(store, disposableNamespace)` from `@sanoma-ai/workflows`. It checks missing values, ownership, contention, stale versions, namespace separation, size limits and the advertised deletion behavior. It mutates test records; use a scoped test identity and clean up retained versions according to the provider. `memorySecretStore()` is the in-process reference implementation, not persistent deployment storage.
+
+#### Named connections
+
+A connector declares authentication methods in `withSetup(connector, { authentication: { methodName: definition } })`. Code then declares each account independently, sharing the connector and its driver factory. For a connector `mail` that declares an `apiKey` method:
+
+```ts
+import { defineConfig, defineConnection, defineConnectionRule } from "sanoma";
+import { secret } from "sanoma/resources";
+import { mail } from "@acme/mail";
+
+const support = defineConnection(mail, {
+  name: "support",
+  method: "apiKey",
+  credentials: secret("SUPPORT_AUTH"),
+  scopes: ["messages:read"],
+  account: "support@example.test",
+});
+const sales = defineConnection(mail, {
+  name: "sales",
+  method: "apiKey",
+  credentials: secret("SALES_AUTH"),
+  scopes: ["messages:read"],
+});
+const customer = defineConnectionRule(mail, {
+  name: "customer",
+  method: "apiKey",
+  createBy: [{ group: "visitors" }],
+  scopes: ["messages:read"],
+});
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  connectors: [mail],
+  connections: [support, sales],
+  connectionRules: [customer],
+});
+```
+
+`@acme/mail` is an illustrative connector, not a shipped package. `support` is also a typed `ConnectionRef<"mail">`, with ID `mail/support`. A workflow selects it in operation options, for example `ctx.mail.message.read({ id: "one" }, { connection: { vendor: "mail", $connection: "mail/support" } })`; a server-side direct call passes `connection: support` alongside its `actor`. A connector with authentication methods requires a selector unless exactly one declaration is marked `default: true`; one connected account alone is not an implicit default. Existing business-resource targets remain unchanged. Cedar sees optional `context.connection` metadata: ID, vendor, method, account, scopes and revision.
+
+Connection creation rules accept principal IDs or `{ group: "visitors" }` for authenticated customer sign-ups. The runtime uses admitted groups and owns each dynamic connection by the initiating principal. Disconnect invalidates the account revision and blocks new selection; vendor revocation and credential retirement are separate lifecycle work. Visitors also need a Cedar permit for the relevant operation; a creation rule does not bypass policy.
+
+`sanoma.connection.bind` is a policy-controlled access operation. Its input contains a declared reference, the granted account and scopes, and `expectedRevision` (`null` for an initial binding). It persists metadata and a new revision, never credential values. `sanoma.connection.create` takes a declared rule ID, account and scopes; the actor must be in `createBy`. It creates an owner-scoped dynamic ID without a repository commit. Trusted code can make a typed reference with `connectionRef(rule, id)`, but the runtime still verifies the stored owner and declaration on use. These metadata operations are not proof of vendor consent; connector intake must verify the account before binding it.
+
+A durable call pins its account revision before policy evaluation. A held direct call carries the same pin into its durable continuation. The runtime checks that the binding and definition still match before execution; rebinding or changing requirements requires a fresh call and authorization. Policy approvals cannot silently authorize a different account. The ledger records connection metadata, not its credential bundle. This changes the durable step layout; old runs are not replayed against the new layout.
+
+Resource declarations use the same identity as an option, loaded with the rest of the data file:
+
+```ts
+import { mail } from "@acme/mail/resources";
+
+export const inbox = mail.inbox({ name: "support" }, { connection: { vendor: "mail", $connection: "mail/support" } });
+```
+
+The resource type must belong to that connector. Apply and drift pin the selected revision when they read declarations, then carry it through imports, plans and effects. The resource lockfile records the connection alongside the vendor object ID. Changing the account of a bound resource requires an explicit unbind/rebind; a default change or a same-name account replacement cannot redirect a later apply. Named sandbox account state and the connection-management UI remain follow-up work.
+
+#### Bootstrap keys
+
+`SANOMA_SIGNING_KEY` signs application sessions and authorization state. `SANOMA_SECRETS_KEY` encrypts rows only for the built-in Postgres store. They are independent 32-byte random values encoded as base64. Each accepts exactly one source: the variable itself or its `_FILE` counterpart, whose file holds that base64 value. Conflicting sources, unreadable files and malformed values fail without printing the key. The launcher creates missing local keys in ignored `.env`; newly created files have mode `0600`. With an external store, it creates only the signing key.
+
+For a host deployment, deliver signing material, database authentication and the adapter's bootstrap through that host's secret delivery mechanism; include the encryption key only for the built-in store. A mount path is local to the process reading it: do not send a laptop's `_FILE` path to a remote container. Explicit bootstrap bindings let a host resource receive the key value through its secret channel while code keeps only the reference.
+
+Back up ciphertext, its namespace/path and version metadata, and the matching encryption key separately. A database-only backup cannot recover encrypted values. Preserve the signing key across ordinary restarts; replacing it invalidates sessions and pending signed authorization state. Changing a vendor token updates a stored value and its version; it does not rotate the row-encryption key. Replacing the encryption key without re-encrypting every retained value makes those values unreadable. Automated encryption-key rotation, external-store migration and OAuth reauthorization tooling are not included here.

 A `writable` type has four change operations besides, which the built-in apply workflow (`APPLY_WORKFLOW`, `"apply"`, a name a config's own workflow may not take) calls and no other: `resolveConfig` refuses a workflow whose `uses` names `create`, `update` or `delete` of a declared type, and a run of any other workflow is refused the call. `plan` (effect `read`, idempotent) takes `{ id?, state?, handle?, desired? }` (no `id` for a create, no `desired` for a delete) and returns `{ action, planned?, unknown, replace }`: `none`, `create`, `update`, `replace` or `delete`, the new state without write-only fields, the dotted paths known only after apply, and those whose change replaces the object. `create` (effect `write`, `target` `new:<vendor>.<type>`) takes `{ desired }` and returns `{ id, state, handle? }`, `id` its binding id; `update` takes `{ id, state?, handle?, desired, expect? }` and returns the same, refusing with a `DriverError` whose `vendorCode` is `plan_changed` when the fresh plan's `action` or `replace` differs from `expect`; `delete` (idempotent) takes `{ id, state?, handle? }` and returns `{ id, gone: true }`, an object already gone included. `desired` may hold secret markers at write-only fields, which the driver resolves (`resolveSecrets`) just before the vendor call (`plan` stores no generated secret: one not stored yet gets a throwaway value); no output holds a write-only value.
 
-Calling the type declares one resource, which is what a data file does: `repository({ name: "sanoma" })` returns a frozen `Declared`, `{ vendor: "github", type: "repository", name: "sanoma", desired: { name: "sanoma" }, refs: {} }`, branded with its `<vendor>.<type>` under the `DECLARED` symbol. It refuses a field the schema does not have, a field the vendor owns (unless `identity` names it), a value the schema rejects, or an empty identity. A type without `find` (Stripe's, whose objects Stripe names) declares resources without a `name`: they are found only by their bindings ([below](#bindings)).

-A field may name another declared resource where the type's `fields.references` says so, by dotted path, with the type it names and, in `by`, the fields of that resource the vendor may hold there instead: GitHub's `branch_protection` has `{ repository_id: { type: "github.repository", by: ["name", "node_id"] } }`, since GitHub holds a rule's repository by its node id. So `branch_protection({ repository_id: site, pattern: "main" })` takes the repository `site`. It stands for that resource's `name`: `desired` holds `repository_id: "website"`, which the schema and `find` (the rule is `website:main`) read, and a drift check takes any of the repository's `by` values, read in the same run, as that name; and `refs` says where a resource was named, `{ repository_id: "github.repository:website" }` (a list item's path has its index, `teams.0`). Anywhere else, or of another type, a resource is refused, and the constructor's type (`Declaring`) says the same, so the editor marks it first.

 Only declared fields are compared for drift, as CloudFormation does: `compareDeclared(fields, state, desired)` keeps the fields `desired` declares, minus `vendorOwned` and `writeOnly` ones, picking objects field by field, list items against the declared item at the same index, and the items of an `unordered` list (a set) against what any declared item declares, sorted, so a set is compared as a multiset whatever order the vendor returns it in. A drift check compares `normalize(actual, desired)` with `normalize(desired, desired)`, leaf by leaf: `diffDeclared(resource, state, desired, accept?)` returns each declared field that differs, `{ path, desired, actual }`, where `accept` gives, by a reference's path, the values that stand for the resource it names. `withoutWriteOnly(fields, desired)` drops write-only values from a declaration, keeping a secret's marker, which names a stored value and holds none. So a field left out is never drift, which covers attributes an OpenTofu provider marks `computed` and `optional` (GitHub's `etag`, `topics`): they are the user's to set, so not `vendorOwned`, but the vendor fills them in when nobody does.

-What a data file may hold: named imports, of a connector's constructors from its `<package>/resources` entry (exported under the vendor's id), of resources from other `.ts` data files in `resources/`, and of `secret` from `sanoma/resources` (or `@sanoma-ai/workflows/resources`); `export const <name> = <vendor>.<type>({ … })`, one resource per statement and each name once, whose fields are strings (and template literals without `${}`), numbers, booleans, null, objects, arrays and, where the type's `fields.references` allows one, names of resources the file declares or imports, and, where the type's `fields.writeOnly` lists the field, `secret("NAME")` or `secret("NAME", { generate: true })` with literal arguments (see [Secrets](#secrets)); and `export default [a, b]`, the file's resources. `resources/data.ts` is the exception: it holds the [collections](#collections) and nothing else. Nothing else: no other calls, `new`, functions, spreads, computed keys, member access (`site.name`: name `site`), `process`, `undefined` (leave the field out) or type assertions. Each refusal says what to write instead.
+A data file is TypeScript like any other: it may compute a value, spread a shared object or import a helper of its own. Each exported value that a resource type's constructor made (`<vendor>.<type>({ … })`, the vendor's constructors imported from its connector's `<info.package>/resources` entry, the people's from `sanoma/resources`) is one declaration, `<file>#<export>`, in the file that made it (another file re-exporting it declares nothing), under its non-default name when the file also exports it as `default`; anything else the file exports, such as the list `export default [a, b]` that Sanoma writes, declares nothing. A field the type's `fields.references` allows a resource in is given the declared value itself, and names the declaration that exports that very object. A field the type's `fields.writeOnly` lists takes `secret("NAME")` or `secret("NAME", { generate: true })`, imported from `sanoma/resources` (or `@sanoma-ai/workflows/resources`; see [Secrets](#secrets)). `resources/data.ts` is the exception: it holds the [collections](#collections) and nothing else.
+
+The loader (`loadModules`) loads synchronously, since `describeConfig` and `readPeople` are: `require` of an ES module, Node's type stripping and `module.registerHooks`, so a data file may not use top-level `await`. It serves the modules a company file imports from the runtime itself, from its own objects: each connector's `<package>/resources` with the config's constructors, `sanoma/resources`, `sanoma/data` (`collection`), `sanoma/site` (`defineSite`) and, to an app's `app.ts`, `sanoma` (`defineApp`); so a data file never needs the package installed, and each value they make records where it was made. Each load is a generation: a file is loaded again, with what it imports, once it, a company file it imports or a directory they are in has changed (by size and modification time), so an edit is read without a restart; every other call answers from the generation, at the cost of a `stat` per file. A superseded generation's modules stay in Node's cache, a copy of the files per edit.
 
 The data files are found from the config's root: `defineConfig` records the file it is called from as the config's `file`, and `resolveConfig` gives its directory as `root`. A config bundled into one file sets `root` itself. A config with neither has no data files, and says so, rather than guess the working directory.

A constructors import must be exactly a connector's `<info.package>/resources`, matched among the config's `connectors`; each resource is checked by calling its type, as running the file would, with each resource it names given as that resource. It returns `{ resources, bindings, orphans, collections, problems }` (`collections`: where `resources/data.ts` declares each collection, `{ id, file, name, span }`, never matched to a connector, a type or the lockfile): one `DeclaredResource` per `export const`, by file and then in file order, less any with a problem and any that names one, and the problems, by file, line and column:

-A problem is anything outside the subset, a constructors import of no connector in the config or a data file that is not one, a type the connector does not declare, a value the type refuses (a resource where it takes none among them), a reference cycle, or two resources of one type with one identity, and, from the lockfile ([below](#bindings)), a lockfile that is not JSON or not bindings, a binding of another type than its declaration's, or two declarations bound to one object. `describeConfig` lists both, as `resources` and `problems` (and the lockfile's `orphans`), so the app starts with the resources it could read and shows what is wrong in the rest. `readResources(config)` is the strict reading, for a test or CI: it returns the resources, or throws one error listing every problem at `file:line:column`.
+A problem is, at the line and column the error's stack gives: a file that throws as it loads, a value its type refuses (a resource where it takes none among them) or a type its vendor does not declare, and a syntax error. V8 places a call at its method's name, so the column above is at `repository`. A file stops at its first, so a broken file is one problem, and a file whose import threw is reported once, at the file that threw. At the file: an import Node cannot find (a constructors import of no connector in the config, a file that is not there), top-level `await`, and a resource made but never exported (written inline in a list, say). At `file#export`: one object exported under two names, a reference to a resource no data file exports, a type of no connector in the config, a resource declared in `resources/data.ts` or a collection in another data file, two resources of one type with one identity (and connection), and, from the lockfile ([below](#bindings)), a binding of another type than its declaration's or two declarations bound to one object; a lockfile that is not JSON or not bindings is the lockfile's. `describeConfig` lists them, as `resources` and `problems` (and the lockfile's `orphans`), so the app starts with the resources it could read and shows what is wrong in the rest; `sanoma check` prints them.

+#### Writing a data file
+
+Sanoma writes company files too, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/describe`, by parsing them (with oxc-parser), not loading them: a written file must keep every byte it does not change. `setFields(text, exportName, fields, options)` returns the file's text with fields of one declaration set, by dotted path as a drift report names them (`{ has_wiki: true, "metadata.owner": "ops" }`; a field the declaration lacks is added). The declaration is the object literal of `export const <exportName> = …`, or of `export default …` for `"default"`: the object itself, or the first argument of the call it is (`github.repository({ … })`, `collection({ … })`, `defineSite({ … })`, `defineApp({ … })`). Only that statement changes, formatted with [oxfmt](https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/formatter), and every other byte of the file stays as it was. It writes literals only: a value the file computes (a name, a reference to another resource among them; a call but `secret(…)`; a spread; a template with `${}`), a path into an object or list that holds a spread, and a declaration that is no object literal throw `NotLiteral`, whose `reason` says what to edit in code instead (`the value of has_wiki is computed in the file`) and whose `field` names the field the file computes (none for a declaration that is no object literal). It refuses with a plain `Error` a file that does not parse, an export the file does not have, and a path through a value that is not an object or a list; a path whose segments name a field with a dot in its key (`metadata: { "app.owner": … }`) finds that field. `renderDataFile({ imports, exports }, options)` renders a whole new file, which, loaded, declares what it was given; a reference is a `Reference`, and a secret's marker is written as `secret("NAME")` (or with `{ generate: true }`), the file then importing `secret` from `"sanoma/resources"` (`setFields` adds that import after the file's own when it sets one). `formatOptions(root)` reads the options from `<root>/.oxfmtrc.json`, oxfmt's defaults without one. oxfmt is a dependency of this package, loaded only when a file is written. The app's Adopt and its forms' Save write through it ([the app's Hosting page](../app/README.md#screens)).
 
-oxlint holds `resources/**` to the subset with the rule `sanoma/data-file`, an oxlint JS plugin the package's `oxlint.json` loads from `dist/plugin.js`, so extending it (see [Keeping workflows replay-safe](#keeping-workflows-replay-safe)) covers data files as well; it does not know the config, so whether a connector, type or value is known is the reader's to say, in `describeConfig(config).problems`, which `sanoma check` prints.
+#### Where Sanoma parses instead
 
-Sanoma writes data files too, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/describe`. `setFields(text, exportName, fields, options)` returns the file's text with fields of one resource set, by dotted path as a drift report names them (`{ has_wiki: true, "metadata.owner": "ops" }`; a field the declaration lacks is added): only that `export const` changes, formatted with [oxfmt](https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/formatter), and every other byte of the file stays as it was. It refuses a resource the file does not declare, a path through a value that is not an object or a list, and a value that is or holds a reference (a person changes those); a path whose segments name a field with a dot in its key (`metadata: { "app.owner": … }`) finds that field. `renderDataFile({ imports, exports }, options)` renders a whole new file, which `readDataFile` reads back as given (what it returns renders the file again, less its comments); a reference is a `Reference`, and a secret's marker is written as `secret("NAME")` (or with `{ generate: true }`), the file then importing `secret` from `"sanoma/resources"` (`setFields` adds that import after the file's own when it sets one). `formatOptions(root)` reads the options from `<root>/.oxfmtrc.json`, oxfmt's defaults without one. oxfmt is a dependency of this package, loaded only when a file is written.
+Everything a company file declares is read by loading it, but for these, which parse source with oxc and never run it: the workflow [outline](#outline) and the workflow lint ([Keeping workflows replay-safe](#keeping-workflows-replay-safe)), since a run is held to its code's shape, not to what it did once; a site's pages and what they call (`readSites`: `routes/**` and `components/**` are browser JSX, read as the site's outline), though its `site.ts` is loaded; `crossAppImports`, a lint over imports; a draft's files, never loaded, since a draft is someone's unreviewed code: a change's facts are told from their text (`mayDeclarePeople`, `isRules`), and updating an app reads `main`'s `app.ts`, never the draft's; `sanoma`'s template, inside the installed package under `node_modules` where Node strips no types, whose people's ids `sanoma` reads from its text when it starts a company; and the writer above.

 A host is a resource type that runs the company (a container, a Render service, a Fly app): `defineResource({ …, writable: true, host })`, where `host` (`HostSpec`) says where the type takes the runtime's inputs, by dotted path into its fields (`inputs: { source, ref, secrets, port, domains? }`, `secrets` a write-only field; `domains`, when the type takes it, a public site's domain by site name, which the host hands the app as `SANOMA_DOMAINS` and `describeConfig` reports a problem for, at the declaration, when it names a site that is not public or gives one domain two sites: `sanoma.example is the domain of both www and docs`), which field apply fills with the commit (`revision`, which a data file may not declare: it names a branch, never a commit), what it can do (`capabilities: { lifetime, publicUrl, buildsFromGit, staticEgress }`, `lifetime` `long-lived` or `stops-when-quiet`, `HostLifetime`), and how its state reads (`outputs(state) → { url, revision?, healthy }`). `defineResource` refuses a `host` that names no field, or whose `secrets` is not write-only. A write-only field may be a map of secrets (`secrets: { SANOMA_DATABASE_URL: secret("DATABASE_URL") }`): its markers are kept as one at the field is. A host type is `stateless` (a `ResourceSpec` field, default true for a host): its objects keep no data, so replacing or recreating one is routine. `source` is a clone URL, or a reference to a declared repository with a `by` field holding one.
 
-A config whose connectors declare a host type has the built-in operation `sanoma.source.resolve` (`SOURCE_RESOLVE`, effect `read`): `{ url, ref } → { revision }`, by `git ls-remote` on this machine (a branch, then a tag, peeled; a full commit id is itself). Apply calls it for each host it plans, and gives the host the commit as its `revision` and the clone URL as its `source` (a referenced repository's, from its `by` field); a host whose ref does not resolve, or whose repository has no clone URL yet (apply the repository first), is a problem of the plan. The drift run calls it for every host it reads. A host's `secrets` map may name sanoma's own secrets (`SANOMA_…`), and no other field of any type may. `resolveRevision(url, ref)` is the same, outside a run.

 A wakeup is a resource type that starts a stopped instance at a time, for what is due while its host is stopped: `defineResource({ …, writable: true, wakeup })`, where `wakeup` (`WakeupSpec`) names the field that references the host (`inputs.host`), the type's own operation the runtime registers each deadline through (`register`, called with `{ at }`, which replaces whatever the wakeup held) and how its state reads (`outputs(state) → { healthy }`); `defineResource` and `resolveConfig` refuse one that does not meet it. Declaring one in a data file is the switch, with no mode flag: `declaredWakeup(config)` reads it, and several are a problem of the data files. A wake is `GET {url}/wake`, with no query: resume if stopped. A config with `wakeup: true` runs the wakeup service itself and must not stop, so `startWorker` refuses it beside a declared wakeup.

A scenario has one actor. The drift steps read the report a finished [drift](#drift) run returned, so their scenario must run `drift` (a parse error otherwise), as the apply steps read an apply run's report, and an apply run's input is only what `runs with` gives, never made up; a failed one says how the report found the resource: `resources/identity/github.ts#website is drifted in has_wiki, not clean`, `… is gone, not drifted in has_wiki`, or that the report has no such resource.

 `@sanoma-ai/app` is one UI over a config; another (a Slack bot, an internal tool) can be built on the same pieces, which the package exports for that:
 
-- `describeConfig(config)` and its types (`ConfigDescription`, `WorkflowEntry`, `OpEntry`, `VendorEntry`, `ResourceTypeEntry`, `DeclaredResource`, `ResourceProblem`), and `readDataFiles(root, connectors)` and `readResources(config)`, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/describe`: what to render, as plain JSON, with each workflow's outline. It is a separate entry so the worker never loads the parser the outline uses, and the lint refuses it in workflow files. `resolveConfig(config)` returns the checked config as a `ResolvedConfig`, with the operations and drivers by id, the resource types by `<vendor>.<type>` (`types`), the workflows by name (the built-ins `drift`, `apply` and `call` among them), its `root` and each vendor's `credentials` (`CredentialStatus`); `isOp(x)` tells an operation from a built-in in a workflow's `uses`.
-- `readSites(root, description, connectors, policies?)`, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/describe`, which `describeConfig` returns as `sites`: what each site calls, read with oxc and never run, for a workflow's **Used by**. A site is a folder of `sites/` with a `routes/`, named as a URL segment; its `routes/**` and `components/**` (`.ts`, `.tsx`, less tests) are read for each `<RunForm workflow="…" />` and each use of `api`, both imported from `sanoma/site`, called or passed on (`queryFn: api.data.leads.list`): `api.<name>` and `api.<name>.<method>` are the workflow whose `apiNameOf` is `<name>`, `api.data.<collection>.<op>` a collection, `api.<vendor>.<resource>.<op>` the operation of that id. Each is a `SiteCall` (`kind`, `target`, `method`, what it calls of a workflow or collection as written (`start`, `latest`, `list`), `via`, `file`, `line`, `column`, and `page`, the page's path from its `createFileRoute` or `createLazyFileRoute` id, in a page's file); a `SiteEntry` holds a site's `name`, its `title` (a string `defineSite({ title })` in `site.ts`), its `pages` (each `SitePage` a `path` from a route file's id, one per path, a layout and its index being one; and on a path with one parameter, such as `/sites/www/blog/$slug`, `content`, the one kind its file reads an entry of by that parameter, `content.<kind>.get(params.slug)` (or `slug`, destructured) with `content` from `sanoma/site`, for the app's sitemap and its pages' languages, which `siteContentPages(root)` gives the app's build alone, path to kind), its `calls`, its `warnings` (on a public site, each page with one parameter whose file reads content but not by that parameter, so the sitemap lists none of its pages: a warning `sanoma check` prints and does not fail on) and its `problems`: each call to a workflow, collection or operation the config does not have (`calls workflow "<name>", which does not exist`), or to an operation a page may not call directly, and, given the policies (`describeConfig` passes them unless they have problems), on a public site each start (`api.<name>(…)`, `.start(…)`, a `RunForm`) and direct call that no company `permit` could let a visitor make, its `when` and `unless` aside (one naming `anonymous`; on a site with a `login`, `anonymous` or the group `visitors`), whose message ends with the permit to add, and, whatever the policies, its call of a built-in workflow or read of a workflow's runs but `.result` (`.latest`, `.runs`, `.approvals`, `.ledger`), which the app refuses a visitor; which `sanoma check` fails on. A name not written out (a variable, a template with holes, a computed member) is skipped, as is a call through a namespace import or a destructured `api`.
+- `describeConfig(config)` and its types (`ConfigDescription`, `WorkflowEntry`, `OpEntry`, `VendorEntry`, `ResourceTypeEntry`, `DeclaredResource`, `ResourceProblem`), and `loadDataFiles(root, connectors)` and `readResources(config)`, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/describe`: what to render, as plain JSON, with each workflow's outline. Its shape is `ConfigDescriptionSchema`, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/description` (zod and nothing of Node, so a browser may import it): each entry type is inferred from its schema, and the schema refuses a key it does not name. Beside what the sections above say, a resource type carries its `capabilities` (`host`, `database` and `wakeup` from its spec, `source` for a type a host type's `source` field names, such as `github.repository`), a vendor its `credentials` (each variable its driver's `env` declares: its name, description and whether it is optional, never a value or a status), and the policy its `files` (each `.cedar` file's path and text, the root's then each app's). It is a separate entry so the worker never loads the parser the outline uses, and the lint refuses it in workflow files. `resolveConfig(config)` returns the checked config as a `ResolvedConfig`, with the operations and drivers by id, the resource types by `<vendor>.<type>` (`types`), the workflows by name (the built-ins `drift`, `apply` and `call` among them), its `root` and each vendor's `credentials` (`CredentialStatus`); `isOp(x)` tells an operation from a built-in in a workflow's `uses`.
+- `readSites(root, description, connectors, policies?)`, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/describe`, which `describeConfig` returns as `sites`: what each site calls, read from its source with oxc and never run (its pages are browser code: what they call is the site's outline), for a workflow's **Used by**; its `site.ts` is loaded. A site is a folder of `sites/` with a `routes/`, named as a URL segment; its `routes/**` and `components/**` (`.ts`, `.tsx`, less tests) are read for each `<RunForm workflow="…" />` and each use of `api`, both imported from `sanoma/site`, called or passed on (`queryFn: api.data.leads.list`): `api.<name>` and `api.<name>.<method>` are the workflow whose `apiNameOf` is `<name>`, `api.data.<collection>.<op>` a collection, `api.<vendor>.<resource>.<op>` the operation of that id. Each is a `SiteCall` (`kind`, `target`, `method`, what it calls of a workflow or collection as written (`start`, `latest`, `list`), `via`, `file`, `line`, `column`, and `page`, the page's path from its `createFileRoute` or `createLazyFileRoute` id, in a page's file); a `SiteEntry` holds a site's `name`, its `title` (`defineSite({ title })` in `site.ts`, the file's default export, which a zod schema checks: a key it does not name, a `login` naming no login half, or `locales` that are no language tags or not on a public site without a login, is a problem), its `pages` (each `SitePage` a `path` from a route file's id, one per path, a layout and its index being one; and on a path with one parameter, such as `/sites/www/blog/$slug`, `content`, the one kind its file reads an entry of by that parameter, `content.<kind>.get(params.slug)` (or `slug`, destructured) with `content` from `sanoma/site`, for the app's sitemap and its pages' languages, which `siteContentPages(root)` gives the app's build alone, path to kind), its `calls`, its `warnings` (on a public site, each page with one parameter whose file reads content but not by that parameter, so the sitemap lists none of its pages: a warning `sanoma check` prints and does not fail on) and its `problems`: each call to a workflow, collection or operation the config does not have (`calls workflow "<name>", which does not exist`), or to an operation a page may not call directly, and, given the policies (`describeConfig` passes them unless they have problems), on a public site each start (`api.<name>(…)`, `.start(…)`, a `RunForm`) and direct call that no company `permit` could let a visitor make, its `when` and `unless` aside (one naming `anonymous`; on a site with a `login`, `anonymous` or the group `visitors`), whose message ends with the permit to add, and, whatever the policies, its call of a built-in workflow or read of a workflow's runs but `.result` (`.latest`, `.runs`, `.approvals`, `.ledger`), which the app refuses a visitor; which `sanoma check` fails on. A name not written out (a variable, a template with holes, a computed member) is skipped, as is a call through a namespace import or a destructured `api`.
 - `generateApi(description)` and `writeApi(root, description)`, from `@sanoma-ai/workflows/describe`: a site's typed `api`, `.sanoma/api.ts` (`API_FILE`), from a `ConfigDescription`, types and JSDoc only and the same text for the same description. It holds a record type per collection and `CompanyApi`: `<apiNameOf(workflow)>: WorkflowFn<input>` per workflow, built-ins too; `<vendor>: { <resource>: { <op>: OpFn<input> } }` for the operations `direct` marks; `data: { <collection>: CollectionApi<record> }`; each member documented from its title or description. Then it augments `sanoma/site`'s `Register`. Inputs are typed from their JSON Schema for the kinds a start form draws, constants, and unions of them (`null` among them); anything else, and every output, is `unknown`. A workflow with `describeConfig`'s api-name problem is left out (`problems`). `writeApi` writes only when the text differs (`wrote`).
 - `SanomaClient`: call an operation directly (`call`, see [Direct calls](#direct-calls)), start runs, list them (`runs({ limit, status, workflow })`) or read a workflow's last result (`latest`), read a run's ledger and approvals, decide approvals, with the checks described above, and start a drift check or an apply and read its report (`drift`, `driftReport`, `apply`, `applyReport`, see [Drift](#drift) and [Apply](#apply)). `client.chats` keeps the operator agent's chats in the config's database: `open({ id, person, engine, title })` (the id the browser gave the new chat), `attach(id, draftId)`, `upsert(id, messages)` (the AI SDK's UI messages, each by its id, a new one after the last), `load(id)`, `get(id)` and `list(person)` (the newest first, `Chat`).
 - `APPROVALS_EVENT` and `decisionEventOf(approvalId)`: the DBOS events a run publishes its approvals and each decision on, for a UI that reads DBOS directly. `ApprovalMessage` is the zod schema of a decision as a run reads it. `RunArgs` is what a run receives: its input, `startedBy` and, for a sandbox run, its scenario as `sandbox`.
 - `mayDecide(approval, principal, run, people)` and `approverLabel(approver)`: who may decide, and how to name them, the same way the run does. `isEnded(status)` and `ENDED_STATUSES`: the run statuses that read no more decisions; `RUN_STATUSES`: every run status, in the order a run may pass through them.
 - Errors: `errorCode(err)` for the code to branch on, `errorMessage(err)` for the text of anything thrown, `invalidInput(what, issues)` to build an `invalid_input` error from zod issues (`InputIssue` is one issue, without symbols in its path), and the classes `SanomaError`, `PolicyDeniedError`, `RejectedError`, `WithdrawnError`, `ApprovalPendingError` and `DriverError`. Read codes with `errorCode`, never `instanceof`.
-- `@sanoma-ai/workflows/shared` exports `mayDecide`, `approverLabel`, `errorMessage`, `isEnded`, `ENDED_STATUSES`, `RUN_STATUSES`, `DRIFT_WORKFLOW`, `CALL_WORKFLOW`, `isLoopback` (whether a host is this machine: `localhost`, `127.x.x.x`, `::1`), `problemAt` (a data-file problem's `file:line:column`), `problemLine` (a problem as one line: `file:line:column: message`, `file: message` or the message), `credentialReady` (a variable is set, or optional and unset) and the `RunStatus` and `CredentialStatus` types, the resource types' types (`Resource`, `ResourceSpec`, `ResourceFields`, `References`, `FieldReference`, `Declared`, `Declaring`, `DeclaredResource`, `ResourceProblem`) and the drift report's (`DriftReport`, `DriftResult`, `DriftField`, `DriftStatus`), with nothing else: no DBOS or Node imports, so a browser bundle can use them. The main entry exports them too.
