Reference
Use this section when you need stable terminology, runtime mode semantics, or a direct map from public claims to the supporting claim registry.
Direct answer
The reference layer stabilizes the words this site uses. The Glossary defines terms, Governance Modes define runtime posture, and Proof explains why approval gating matters and what the product does not claim.
Direct answer
This section is the canonical reference hub for product terminology, governance modes, command semantics, and release history. If you need the category definition first, start with Proof.
CLI Reference
The CLI Reference documents every command, subcommand, flag, and exit code. Normative source: cli_command_reference.md.

The full top-level command surface (including compatibility and advanced commands such as allowed-action, grants, agent, evidence, skills, lsp, rollback, explain, blame, and checkpoint) is documented on CLI Reference.
Glossary
The Glossary defines all terms used across the specification corpus: proposal, canonical form, permit, checkpoint, trust tier, execution envelope, evidence, and more.
Exit codes
The Exit Codes page lists the consistent exit-code contract across all commands.
Governance modes
The Governance Modes page documents active governance, governance-suspended mode, the --governance-suspended flag, and the --no-tui alias behavior.
Changelog
The Changelog records notable changes by release version.
