Core flows
The eight object lifecycles at the heart of SEIF — workspace, memory, cycle, governance, provenance, session, relay, and pod — each as a short, practical walkthrough.
Everything in SEIF is an object with a lifecycle: it is created, it accumulates signed history, and it can be replayed or verified later. These eight flows are the ones you reach for daily. Each page is a short walkthrough — the shape of the flow, the commands that drive it, and where to go deeper.
Workspace
Turn a directory into a .seif/ store; inspect and repair its health.
Memory
Capture durable facts, recall them by relevance, and curate what persists.
Cycle
Group substantial work into an auditable, replayable unit and seal it.
Governance
Defer work, record decisions, and amend signed artifacts without re-signing.
Provenance
Sign artifacts into verifiable Evidence and check them anywhere.
Session
Record who worked, on what, and what was said — across multiple agents.
Relay
Hand work between agents through durable, signed artifacts instead of chat.
Pod
Compose multiple workspaces into a shared, multi-machine unit.
How the flows connect
A workspace is the ground every other flow stands on. Inside it you build memory, group work into cycles, and defer or decide through governance. Anything you produce can be signed into provenance. When more than one agent is involved, a session records the collaboration and the relay routes the work. A pod lifts the whole picture across machines.
Quality and grounding
The form quality gate (A-F grade) was removed in c754. SEIF's verification value now comes from provenance and §7 enforcement — not form-based scoring.
Workspace flow
Turn any directory into a SEIF workspace with a .seif/ store, inspect its health, and materialize historical states.
