Glossary
Terms, defined once
This category uses several words loosely enough that they have stopped meaning anything. These are the definitions this site uses, in one sentence each, with the longer version a click away.

- content-hashed build
- A content-hashed build is an immutable version of an application identified by a hash computed from its own contents.
- edit operation
- An edit operation is a single structured instruction to change one file, which a model proposes and a deterministic executor validates and applies.
- repair loop
- A repair loop is an automated cycle that feeds a failing check's diagnostics back to the model, applies a fix, and runs the checks again.
- sandbox isolation
- Sandbox isolation is the practice of running untrusted code in a confined environment that cannot reach other tenants, projects or shared infrastructure.
- scaffold
- A scaffold is a pre-built, tested application that code generation starts from and modifies, rather than inventing a project structure from nothing.
- smoke test
- A smoke test is a minimal check that a built application actually starts and serves a response, rather than merely compiling.
- spec artifact
- A spec artifact is a structured, versioned document that records what an application should do, in a form a program can read.
- typecheck
- A typecheck is a static analysis that verifies every value in a program is used consistently with its declared type, without running the program.
- verification chain
- A verification chain is a fixed sequence of automated checks that a generated build must pass before it is shown to anyone.
- vibe coding
- Vibe coding is the practice of building software by describing what you want in natural language and accepting the generated result without reviewing the code.
