AID Docs

Engineering reference

Implementation and operational documentation for AID engineers and operators.

This section explains how AID provides its user-visible guarantees. It is for engineers, reviewers, database administrators, and operators.

Start with:

  • Durable background work, from first principles — begin with the secure scanner substrate and the differences among job truth, diagnostics, logs, and audit, then continue into service boundaries, outboxes, queues, leases, poison handling, tenant isolation, reconciliation, and safe migrations.
  • Why an Automation refuses to turn on — a junior-friendly walkthrough of why saving and activating are separate, the nine conditions that refuse an activation, and why a saved Automation can still be running an older version.
  • Automation Activity and audit policy — understand durable business history, actor attribution, comprehensive investigation snapshots, access, retention, and the privacy-review backlog.
  • Folder system architecture.

For everyday product instructions, use the Using folders guide instead.
