## Concepts

- `org-agent-scope` — **Organization and agent scope** — Scope selects which organization and agent context reads and writes apply to. — [concepts/org-agent-scope.md](concepts/org-agent-scope.md)
- `agents-inheritance` — **Agents and inheritance** — Child agents inherit definitions; Studio shows the effective result. — [concepts/agents-inheritance.md](concepts/agents-inheritance.md)
- `sources-and-memory` — **Sources and Memory** — Sources feed Memory; Memory holds durable product records. — [concepts/sources-and-memory.md](concepts/sources-and-memory.md)
- `object-content-category` — **Object type, content type, and data category** — Identity, payload shape, and category are separate axes. — [concepts/object-content-category.md](concepts/object-content-category.md)
- `explicit-metadata-installation` — **Explicit metadata validation and installation** — Validation does not install; installation requires confirmation. — [concepts/explicit-metadata-installation.md](concepts/explicit-metadata-installation.md)
- `effective-metadata` — **Effective metadata** — The resolved definitions after inheritance and installation. — [concepts/effective-metadata.md](concepts/effective-metadata.md)
- `abstracts-bindings` — **Abstracts and bindings** — An abstract is a virtual union projected through bindings — not stored rows. — [concepts/abstracts-bindings.md](concepts/abstracts-bindings.md)
- `people-union` — **People union** — People combines employees and contractors through explicit bindings. — [concepts/people-union.md](concepts/people-union.md)
- `mappings-transforms` — **Mappings and transforms** — Mappings describe how source shapes become Memory content. — [concepts/mappings-transforms.md](concepts/mappings-transforms.md)
- `raw-records` — **Raw records** — Raw retains the original payload beside envelope metadata. — [concepts/raw-records.md](concepts/raw-records.md)
- `composition` — **Same-subject composition** — Multiple content instances can belong to one subject when composition is explicit. — [concepts/composition.md](concepts/composition.md)
- `relationship-definitions` — **Relationship definitions** — A relationship definition is metadata describing allowed links — not a stored edge on a record. — [concepts/relationship-definitions.md](concepts/relationship-definitions.md)
- `relationship-references` — **Stored relationship references** — Records store relationship references that point at targets under a definition. — [concepts/relationship-references.md](concepts/relationship-references.md)
- `traversal` — **Forward and inverse traversal** — Traversal follows definitions forward or inverse, optionally expanding targets. — [concepts/traversal.md](concepts/traversal.md)
- `resolved-unresolved` — **Resolved and unresolved relationships** — Unresolved targets are retained and shown — not silently dropped. — [concepts/resolved-unresolved.md](concepts/resolved-unresolved.md)
- `record-revisions` — **Record revisions and stale-write conflicts** — Writes carry an expected revision; stale writers cannot overwrite newer data. — [concepts/record-revisions.md](concepts/record-revisions.md)
- `analysis-objects` — **Analysis objects** — Analysis captures evaluated evidence distinct from operational decisions. — [concepts/analysis-objects.md](concepts/analysis-objects.md)
- `decisions-content` — **Decisions** — Decisions record chosen actions distinct from analysis content. — [concepts/decisions-content.md](concepts/decisions-content.md)
- `intelligence-proposals` — **Intelligence proposals** — Intelligence may propose metadata or actions but never auto-installs them. — [concepts/intelligence-proposals.md](concepts/intelligence-proposals.md)

## Scenarios

- `scope-mismatch` — **Scope does not match the intended workspace** — Detected organization/agent scope differs from the task. — [scenarios/scope-mismatch.md](scenarios/scope-mismatch.md)
