Glossary

Documented for Akmon 2.0.0.

Who this is for

Readers who want consistent terminology across Akmon tutorials, references, and review workflows.

Session: one Akmon run context identified by a UUID and recorded as linked events.
Artifact: output file produced by a run (for example evidence JSON, audit JSONL, or .akmon bundle).
Evidence: structured JSON artifact (evidence.v1) summarizing replay metadata, policy/tool outcomes, and verification context.
Verify: integrity check command (akmon verify) that validates hash chain, object closure, and session invariants.
Replay: deterministic re-execution and comparison of a recorded session (akmon replay) using replay modes.
Policy: allow/deny control layer over tool/file/network/shell actions, including profile and pack merging.
Capability: an action class available to the runtime and model through registered tools and commands.
Bundle: portable .akmon archive containing manifest, event stream, and referenced objects for transport/import.
Audit log: JSONL chain capturing auditable events for a session (.akmon/audit/<session-id>.jsonl).
Policy profile: built-in baseline policy (dev, staging, prod) selectable by CLI/config.
Policy pack: operator-maintained TOML/JSON policy layer merged on top of profile defaults.
Sentinel: replacement object marker used by akmon redact to remove sensitive object bytes while preserving structure.
