Glossary
Healthcheck
Section titled “Healthcheck”- Check: work whose status can affect an aggregated health report.
- Collector: monitoring data that does not independently change health status.
- Scope: the operational question being answered: liveness, readiness, startup, or diagnostics.
- Runtime adapter: the package-owned seam that provides runtime identity and snapshots.
- Exporter: a formatter that converts an existing report; it does not run checks.
Payload
Section titled “Payload”- Canonical schema: the Zod schema that owns intrinsic field value validation and normalization.
- Compiled field: an ordinary Payload field configuration produced from a higher-level definition.
- Consumer hook: a hook supplied by the application rather than the package.
- Native field: a Payload data field passed through an explicit escape hatch.
- Populated relationship: a related document returned instead of its stored ID; it belongs to an output contract, not a canonical relationship schema.
- Minor units: integer currency units used for persistence, such as the smallest configured denomination.
