Introduction
Getting started with AID documentation.
Welcome to AID Docs. These guides explain how AID behaves in everyday language, with examples you can apply to your own workspace.
File management
- Using folders — create and name folders, understand what happens when you rename or trash one, and learn how AID prevents conflicts.
Engineering reference
- Folder system architecture — data model, naming integrity, transactions, concurrency, cursor recovery, and migration behavior for engineers and operators.
- Durable background work, from first principles — a junior-friendly tutorial covering the secure scanner substrate, job truth versus queue delivery, diagnostics versus logs and audit, service boundaries, transactional outboxes, at-least-once queues, leases, poison handling, tenant isolation, reconciliation, and upgrade-safe migrations.
- Why an Automation refuses to turn on — saving versus activating, the nine refusal conditions with worked examples, and why a saved Automation can still be running an older version.
- Automation Activity and audit policy — plain-language examples of business history, actor attribution, comprehensive snapshots, access, retention, and privacy follow-up.
