+# Arcane runtime entity modules
+
+The synchronized runtime ships 15 entity modules with 35 public ESM bindings.
+This page explains each module's capability and host assumptions. The exact
+constructor/function/value contracts are canonical in the
+[Arcane shared entity inventory](core/arcane-entities.md).
+
+Entity creation and serialization are usually cross-host. Methods that touch
+DOM, DBOPFS, local storage, AI, or object URLs require the corresponding browser
+or native-WebView dependency.
+

+
+## ApiModelRecord.js
+
+### Overview
+
+`ApiModelRecord` freezes an endpoint, fetch time, metadata, and parsed value so
+provider reads can be cached or emitted without leaking mutable response state.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import ApiModelRecord from '/arcane/entities/ApiModelRecord.js';
+
+const record = new ApiModelRecord({
+    endpoint: 'https://example.invalid/model',
+    fetchedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
+    metadata: {},
+    value: {ready: true}
+});
+```
+
+## Calculation.js
+
+### Overview
+
+`Calculation` owns a bounded expression, finite result, creation time, and
+`toJSON()` projection. Use `CalculatorEngine` to produce validated instances.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import Calculation from '/arcane/entities/Calculation.js';
+
+console.log(new Calculation({expression: '2 + 2', result: 4}).toJSON());
+```
+
+## Chat.js
+
+### Overview
+
+`ChatEntity` owns message history, saved state, tool exchanges, memory lookup,
+and optional app-scoped DBOPFS persistence. It installs no independent native
+authority; AI and storage dependencies must be available to the host.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import Chat from '/arcane/entities/Chat.js';
+
+const chat = new Chat();
+chat.addUserMessage('Hello.');
+```
+
+## CommunicationMessage.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Normalizes one provider message and exports the supported channel values:
+email, SMS, MMS, RCS, WhatsApp, and other.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import CommunicationMessage from '/arcane/entities/CommunicationMessage.js';
+
+const message = new CommunicationMessage({
+    id: 'message-1',
+    channel: 'email',
+    body: 'Hello'
+});
+```
+
+## CommunicationThread.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Normalizes one conversation thread and its `CommunicationMessage` records into
+a frozen provider-neutral object.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import CommunicationThread from '/arcane/entities/CommunicationThread.js';
+
+const thread = new CommunicationThread({id: 'thread-1', messages: []});
+```
+
+## Document.js
+
+### Overview
+
+`DocumentEntity` specializes `FileEntity` for the app-scoped `documents` table.
+Its persistence methods require the same DBOPFS lifecycle and ownership proof as
+the base file entity.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import DocumentEntity from '/arcane/entities/Document.js';
+
+const document = new DocumentEntity();
+console.log(document.tableName);
+```
+
+## File.js
+
+### Overview
+
+`FileEntity` loads and saves supported file formats through app-scoped DBOPFS
+and uses the shared Markdown renderer where appropriate.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import FileEntity from '/arcane/entities/File.js';
+
+const file = new FileEntity();
+console.log(file.fileName);
+```
+
+## Image.js
+
+### Overview
+
+`ImageEntity` extends `FileEntity` with image validation, upload, base64 data
+URLs, Blob URLs, and explicit Blob URL revocation.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import ImageEntity from '/arcane/entities/Image.js';
+
+console.log(typeof ImageEntity.prototype.revokeBlobURL);
+```
+
+## IntentEnvelope.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Creates immutable canonical v1 intent records while keeping trusted provenance
+separate from hostile payload input. Serialization, rehydration, and the audit
+projection are bounded and deterministic.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import {
+    createIntentEnvelope,
+    serializeIntentEnvelope
+} from '/arcane/entities/IntentEnvelope.js';
+
+const intent = createIntentEnvelope(
+    {originalExpression: 'Summarize the record.', normalizedGoal: 'summarize'},
+    {source: 'example'}
+);
+
+console.log(serializeIntentEnvelope(intent));
+```
+
+## Preference.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Defines preference types, option normalization, value validation, JSON
+projection, and schema normalization for shared stores and forms.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import Preference from '/arcane/entities/Preference.js';
+
+const preference = new Preference({
+    key: 'density',
+    type: 'select',
+    defaultValue: 'comfortable',
+    options: ['comfortable', 'compact']
+});
+```
+
+## TerminalSession.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Normalizes terminal session id, shell, state, updates, and JSON projection. The
+entity does not start a process; `TerminalClient` owns the native bridge call.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import TerminalSession from '/arcane/entities/TerminalSession.js';
+
+console.log(TerminalSession.shell('auto'));
+```
+
+## Theme.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Owns the shared light/dark semantic token sets, color conversion, JSON
+projection, DOM application, and clearing. Token work is cross-host; `apply()`
+and `clear()` require a document root.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import Theme, {arcaneDarkThemeTokens} from '/arcane/entities/Theme.js';
+
+const theme = new Theme({name: 'example', tokens: arcaneDarkThemeTokens});
+console.log(theme.toJSON());
+```
+
+## TWiNPolicyDecision.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Creates immutable canonical v1 policy decisions with trusted provenance,
+bounded serialization, rehydration, and a target/value-redacted audit view.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import {
+    createTWiNPolicyDecision,
+    twinPolicyDecisionAuditProjection
+} from '/arcane/entities/TWiNPolicyDecision.js';
+
+const decision = createTWiNPolicyDecision(
+    {layer: 'application', policy: 'example', outcome: 'allow'},
+    {source: 'example'}
+);
+
+console.log(twinPolicyDecisionAuditProjection(decision));
+```
+
+## User.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Owns persisted user preference/profile fields, explicit-preference updates,
+fresh reads, saves, and JSON projection. It installs `window.user` after its
+DBLS/DBOPFS lifecycle and emits `user-entity-loaded`.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import UserEntity from '/arcane/entities/User.js';
+
+console.log(typeof UserEntity.prototype.toJSON);
+```
+
+## Weather.js
+
+### Overview
+
+Exports four frozen normalized records: `WeatherLocation`,
+`WeatherObservation`, `WeatherDay`, and `WeatherSnapshot`.
+
+### Example
+
+```javascript
+import {WeatherLocation} from '/arcane/entities/Weather.js';
+
+const location = new WeatherLocation({name: 'Houston'});
+console.log(location.toJSON());
+```
+
+## Availability and protocol details
+
+Entity modules are delivered by browser ESM at `/arcane/entities/`. They do not
+cross Core by being imported. Individual persistence, AI, DOM, or native calls
+cross the dependency named by that entity. See
+[availability and normalization](availability-and-normalization.md) and the
+[deep protocol guide](protocols.md).
