Glossary

Breyta glossary for canonical lifecycle terminology.

Flow

Workflow definition that can be edited, released, installed, and run.

Working Copy

Editable authoring state used by pull/push/validate.

Release

Immutable published version created from working copy.

Installation

Runtime target for a flow with its own config (inputs/bindings), enabled state, and selected version.

Live Scope

Default workspace runtime target for production-like runs.

End-User Installation

Per-user installation target for end-user flows.

Run

Single execution instance of a flow against a resolved installation target.

Requires

Declared runtime dependencies a flow needs (connections, secrets, form/input values).

Bindings / Configuration

Concrete values mapped to :requires and installation inputs.

Promote

Action that points an installation scope/target to a release version.

Trigger

Start mechanism for a flow (manual, schedule, webhook/event).

Template

Reusable text block rendered with runtime data.

Function Ref

:function step reference to reusable Clojure code in top-level :functions.

Wait

Step that pauses execution until signal/action/timeout.

Persisted Result

Step output stored as a reference instead of large inline payload.

Internal: Profile / Profile ID

Internal runtime representation used by backend/API internals. Not the canonical end-user lifecycle term.

CLI Config Profile (`--profile`)

CLI client context selector (API URL/token/workspace). This is distinct from internal runtime profiles.
