Docs Reference
Glossary
Terms used across the docs, defined once.
- Attestation
- Signed, reproducible record of something that ran on a developer's machine.
- Conflict Radar
- Feature that surfaces overlapping work between teammates at the moment of overlap, before push.
- Continuous state
- The five-state lifecycle every commit walks through: DRAFT / VALIDATING / ATTESTED / PROMOTABLE / DEPLOYED.
- Daemon
- Long-lived background process on the developer's machine. Hosts the socket the hooks and IDE extensions talk to.
- Manifest
- .gridtrue/validate.yaml — the file that declares runtimes and pipelines for a repo.
- Org
- A gridtrue organization. Owns a private network channel and bills for its own resources.
- Policy contract
- Executable rules that define what attestations are required to push / deploy on given paths.
- Predicate
- The kind of validation an attestation speaks to — build:go, test:jest, local-deploy:compose, etc.
- Profile
- A named pipeline inside the manifest — pre-commit, pre-push, release, or any custom name.
- Runtime
- The execution backend for a step — container, native, or vm.
- SDK Manager
- CLI subcommand that installs pinned language toolchains into ~/.gridtrue/sdk.
- Walking skeleton
- Phrase used in these docs for features that have a working end-to-end path but are still minimal. gridtrue is in walking-skeleton phase today.
