| Suite | The commercial studio beside Apiome: the Designer canvas and workspace, Authoring, Scribe, Slate and the hosted-plan surfaces. Served by the apiome-suite image at suite.apiome.dev |
| Studio | The designer application that serves every Suite surface. "Standalone" when it serves unprefixed routes; "suite-embedded" when the main app links to it under /ade/studio/* |
| Main app | The open-source Apiome application (apiome-ui) at main.apiome.dev: Control Panel, catalog, versions, governance and sign-in |
| Workspace | The unified Design surface at /workspace: schemas and paths in one domain-scoped view with three lenses |
| Lens | A view of the workspace: Schemas, Paths or Combined |
| Domain | A folder that scopes the workspace to one part of a version's catalog; carried in the URL as domain |
| Classic canvas | The Data Designer (/editor) and Paths editor (/paths) the workspace unifies; retired at the only rollout stage |
| Draft lock | The lock a user holds on a version while editing it; a source apply that collides with another editor's lock is refused |
| Version branch, version tag | A branch of a project's version history, and a named point on it. Part of the git-like layer, which is off in shipped builds (FEATURE_GITLIKE) |
| Authoring | The documentation half of the Suite: Overview, Scribe, Slate, Guides, Changelog and the hosted-plan pages |
| Scribe | AI-assisted writing of cited reference content and guides, grounded in the version's source |
| Slate | The visual portal builder: theme, navigation, content blocks, preview, build, export and publish |
| Spire | The FastAPI service behind Scribe and Slate |
| Canonical target | Spire's identity for a documentable node — (artifact_version_id, canonical_kind, stable_key, source_pointer) folded with the tenant into a target_id — so every format (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, gRPC, JSON Schema, Arazzo) documents the same way |
| Canonical kind | One of artifact, service, operation, message, channel, type, field, parameter, response, workflow_step |
| Provenance | The envelope Spire keeps per target: native source pointer, content digest, format adapter identity and dependency edges — what citations and stale detection get back to the source with |
| Stale alert | A notice that a target's source changed after its documentation was written |
| Coverage | The share of a version's targets that have documentation, by kind |
| Style guide | A project's tone preset, terminology and custom guidance, injected into every generation prompt |
| Proposal | A grounded AI suggestion with citations, validated and redacted before it reaches the editor |
| Release Center | The hosted-plan page where portal builds are promoted to preview or production and rolled back |
| Entitlement | A license feature flag — designer, paths, authoring, scribe, slate, hosted — that unlocks a surface |
| Preview | The chip the product shows beside Scribe, Slate, Releases and Insights while they are in preview |
| Suite host | The @suite/host package that registers the Suite's destinations, home cards and entitlement flags into the main app's suite dropdown |
| BFF | Backend-for-frontend: the studio's /api/* routes that forward to apiome-rest, Spire and Ollama with a service bearer |
| Service bearer | The one-hour JWT the studio signs with the shared sign-in secret for every call to apiome-rest and Spire |
