Operate the authoring workspace
A Book moves through explicit stages: import or committed Notes, extraction, candidate generation, human validation, Preview, immutable publication, and optional self-hosted deployment.
Book
A Book is a portable, encrypted knowledge workspace. It contains documents, extracted evidence, candidate questions and answers, review state, indexes, and release metadata needed to query one focused body of knowledge.
Journal
A Journal is the personal default Book for daily Notes, private observations, drafts, and recurring ideas. It follows the same validation and security rules as any other Book.
Note
A Note is writing created by the user. Draft Notes stay out of retrieval until committed, extracted, and admitted into the Book workflow.
Document
A Document is an imported file source such as a PDF, text file, office file, scan, or image. Harnesser preserves source references so generated knowledge can point back to original evidence.
Keep the boundaries visible
Draft Notes never enter retrieval. Preview uses current admissible working knowledge and is never production. Published chat pins an activated immutable release. Recommendations may explain work but cannot validate, publish, activate, withdraw, or delete it.
Providers and budgets
Select a reviewed provider profile explicitly. Harnesser never silently falls back to another provider or model. Set token and cost budgets before a run; a failed or uncertain request retains its conservative reservation until reconciled.
Backup and portability
Close a Book before backup or package export. Verify the destination signer classification after import and rebuild excluded derived indexes locally. Import and export remain available regardless of commercial state.
