GuidesUsing the Console
Console overview
Overview of the embedded Console, entry points, and index of operational guides.
The Console is the visual management layer for control-plane resources and ships inside Control Plane. Changes still go through authorization and storage; configuration and most governance rules only reach the client-visible active view after publish.
Entry points and modes
| Entry | Notes |
|---|---|
| Normal Console | Sidebar menus; default landing /namespace |
| Agent workspace | Workspace switch “Enter Agent workspace”; path /agent (not in the sidebar) |
| System configuration | Sidebar “System configuration”; main / admin only |
Local default: http://127.0.0.1:8080. First boot without a main account uses /init-admin. Do not assume a hardcoded default password.

Recommended first path
- Create a business Namespace (do not treat Namespace as a team space) → Services and environments
- Create a service and register instances → Services and environments
- Create config and verify via release history → Configuration
- Create and publish one rule in the governance workbench → Governance
- Tighten non-admin permissions and tokens → Authorization
Principles
- Edit ≠ active: Saving a draft or editing a rule body does not mean clients already see the new version.
- Publish is separate: Edit rights do not imply publish rights.
- Multi-gray config: One file can keep multiple active grays; full publish does not end them. See Configuration.
- Namespace = environment: Same-named resources are independent across environments and publish states.
- Agent stops at drafts: Confirmed writes save drafts only; publish still happens in Configuration.
