Glossary

Organization — a tenant; all data is isolated to it.

Project — a workspace inside an org grouping catalog, releases and policies.

Service — the unit a release is scoped to; attributed by repository URL.

Product — a grouping of services for rollups.

Environment — a deploy target (staging, production…).

Evidence — a typed canonical event ingested from a connector.

Reconciliation — the engine run that turns evidence into release truth.

Classification — the label on each evidence item (included, included_heuristic, excluded, uncertain, orphaned).

Confidence score — a 0–1 grade of how well-supported a release’s truth is.

Tier — high (≥0.8) / medium (≥0.6) / low, derived from the score.

Exception — an orphan, uncertain item, force-push or rollback needing review.

Orphan — an unattributed merged change.

Backport — a change carried forward from an earlier release.

Baseline / compareFrom — what a release is compared against to bound its window.

Policy — per-project release gates.

Approval — an N-of-M sign-off; self-approval is banned.

Freeze window — a period during which publishing is blocked.

G3 suspension — auto-suspension of an approved release when confidence regresses.

Snapshot — the immutable frozen record written at publish.

Outbox — the transactional event log that guarantees events ship with their business writes.

Coverage gap — no delivery connector exists, so missing artifact/deployment isn’t penalized.
