# Concepts
|
|
|
|
Shared domain vocabulary for this project — entities, named processes, and status concepts with project-specific meaning. Seeded with core domain vocabulary, then accretes as ce-compound and ce-compound-refresh process learnings; direct edits are fine. Glossary only, not a spec or catch-all.

## Bitable
|
|
|
|
### Bitable
|
|
A companion service providing multi-dimensional table storage (structured records with typed fields, views, and formula columns) that runs alongside the main AgentKit server. Owns its own database schema, isolated from core tables, and exposes a REST API boundary that all callers — agents and end-users alike — go through. Agents authenticate with an internal service token; end-users authenticate via JWT.
|
|
|
|
### Field Ownership
|
|
The model controlling which actor may modify a field's definition or values. Every field has an owner of either the agent or the user. Agent-owned fields are written by the ingestion tooling during data import; user-owned fields are edited by humans in the UI. Upsert operations update only agent-owned fields — user-owned fields are never overwritten by agent writes, so human edits survive re-ingestion.
|
|
|
|
### Recalc
|
|
The background process that recomputes formula field values after source data changes. When a record's data columns are written, a recalc task is enqueued; a worker claims tasks atomically using row-level locking so concurrent workers partition the queue without coordination, evaluates the formula DAG in topological order, and writes results back. A reaper resets stale in-progress tasks back to pending for crash recovery.

## Expert Orchestration
|
|
|
|
### Disclosure Level
|
|
The mode controlling how much of a skill's prompt enters the agent context at load time. Full mode injects the complete skill prompt; summary mode injects only name and description. The default is full so that skills predating the field keep their original behavior — only skills that explicitly opt into summary mode are degraded.
|
|
|
|
### State Offloading
|
|
The pattern of moving a phase's full output to a shared workspace while keeping only a short summary and a reference key in memory. Prevents unbounded memory growth across long pipelines. Consumers that need the full content resolve it through the reference key, not by reading the in-memory summary.
|
|
|
|
### Pipeline Checkpoint
|
|
A crash-recovery snapshot of a pipeline's progress, persisted per phase. On resume, completed phases are skipped, failed phases are preserved as failed, and pending phases execute. Checkpoints are cleared after successful completion; failed runs retain them for retry.
|
|
|
|
### Debate Phase
|
|
A phase dynamically inserted into a team plan when divergence is detected between expert outputs. Subject to a per-pipeline limit that persists across resume — the counter is rebuilt from the restored plan, not reset to zero.
|
|
|
|
### Resume
|
|
The act of rebuilding a crashed pipeline's runtime state from persisted checkpoints. Restores completed and failed phase statuses, rebuilds runtime counters, and re-persists any dynamically inserted phases so the restored plan matches what was executing at crash time.
