Zinc stores package facts, exact work bytes, and current pointers.

It sits over Limbo and works with Circuitry and packages:

Layer Responsibility
Circuitry Confirms shaped YAML and variable flow.
Zinc Stores package facts, fragments, heads, and config.
Packages Provide software, settings, shapes, scripts, and docs.
Limbo Stores rows and bytes.

Main pages

Page Purpose
Architecture Boundary between Zinc, Circuitry, packages, and Limbo.
Fragments and Heads Exact byte records and current pointers.
Packages Package identity, roots, and manifest navigation.
Package Software Package request and result boundary.
Shapes Raw shape bytes and confirmed shape facts.
Executor How zn run advances work.
URI Reference zinc:// read paths.
Update Zinc self-update.

Boundary

Zinc remembers:

  • package name, version, root, and source facts
  • raw shape bytes
  • package request bytes
  • package result bytes
  • fragment and head identities
  • opaque config values

Zinc does not interpret package settings, model responses, shell behavior, provider behavior, or output schemas.
