Glossary
Shared words for the travel MVP — kernel terms and travel skin.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Trip repo | GitHub repository holding one operational journey |
| Accepted trip | Default branch (main) — desired state the traveler has merged |
| Pull request | Proposed change; merge accepts; close rejects or defers |
| Hard check | Deterministic invariant; may fail CI |
| Soft fact | Review context that does not fail CI by itself |
| Subject | Traveler (or party member) in Alcove memory; opaque id in the trip repo |
| Lesson | Approved postmortem takeaway stored in Alcove, not the public template |
| Review finding | Adversarial PR comment or thread from Alcove or a human |
| Research Issue | Retrieve existing evidence for an open concern |
| Experiment Issue | Falsify a requirement-fit hypothesis |
| MCP | Thin Alcove tools for connect, subjects, and reflection — not itinerary planning |
| Dashboard | Account + GitHub connect + subject CRUD + billing |
Kernel packages stay free of travel nouns; marketing, docs, and the public template use the travel skin.
