Controlled-delivery preview

One project through Offline Runtime

Follow External Workspace Stabilization from Project Home through objective confirmation, bounded execution, review, Governed Apply, and checkpoint.

Lifecycle rail: Research → Plan → Execute → Review → Ship. The six frames below are operator moments — not a second lifecycle model.

Illustrative Runtime view using synthetic project data. Preview and controlled delivery only — not generally available self-service SaaS.

FoldEngine does not mutate source autonomously. Source changes occur only through explicit admission, authorization, bounded application, validation, and a source-state receipt. Commit, push, merge, deploy, and release remain outside autonomous authority.

Operator journey

Six product moments on one synthetic project

Project Home operator surface for External Workspace Stabilization

Project Home · lifecycle position Plan

Project Home

What entered
An admitted project with an external workspace binding and an uncertain engineering objective.
What FoldEngine did
Composed lifecycle position, confirmed objective, blockers, and the next lawful action in one cockpit.
What remained blocked
Workcell preparation and any source mutation.
What the operator could do next
Prepare a Workcell, or return to clarify the objective.

Operator authority remains outside the model.

Objective confirmation surface with Confirm Revise Reject

Objective confirmation · Plan

Confirm the objective

What entered
An operator statement and a proposed objective about external workspace admission.
What FoldEngine did
Separated operator intent, model proposal, unresolved questions, and success criteria.
What remained blocked
Workcell admission until Confirm.
What the operator could do next
Confirm, revise, or reject the objective.

FoldEngine calls this governed clarification step Objective Discovery.

Bounded Workcell execution for External Workspace Stabilization
Optional Nebula coordination envelope for dependent Workcells

Bounded execution · Execute

Run bounded work

What entered
A confirmed objective admitted as a Workcell with declared scope.
What FoldEngine did
Ran bounded methods, captured evidence, and stopped at human review.
What remained blocked
Source writes; commit, push, merge, deploy, and release.
What the operator could do next
Open review, or coordinate dependent Workcells through a Nebula Program.

Nebula is optional coordination context — not required homepage vocabulary.

Review surface with evidence uncertainty and operator decision

Review · Review

Review evidence

What entered
A completed Workcell candidate and evidence packet.
What FoldEngine did
Assembled tests, scope proof, changes, uncertainty, and lineage.
What remained blocked
Source application.
What the operator could do next
Accept for governed apply, reject, or return for revision.
Governed Apply ceremony with eligibility through source-state receipt

Governed Apply · Ship

Apply under authority

What entered
An operator-accepted candidate with declared targets.
What FoldEngine did
Ran eligibility, admission, authorization, bounded application, validation, and issued a source-state receipt.
What remained blocked
Commit, push, merge, deploy, and release.
What the operator could do next
Accept a project checkpoint, or continue review if validation fails.

Authorized source application is a governed ceremony, not an autonomous agent capability.

Project Checkpoint accepted state and continuation readiness

Checkpoint · within or after Ship

Accept the new state

What entered
Applied and validated project state with a source-state receipt.
What FoldEngine did
Recorded accepted state, unresolved conditions, and continuation readiness.
What remained blocked
Automatic restore, and any release actions outside autonomous authority.
What the operator could do next
Continue the project from the accepted checkpoint.

FoldEngine calls this accepted-state boundary a Project Checkpoint — not a sixth lifecycle stage.

What the operator does next

Continue from the checkpoint, open a new objective, or hold. Commercial installation and deployment remain controlled rather than self-service. The first governed project journey works; this preview is not a public installer.
