Glossary

The words CanonTracker uses, each in a sentence or two.

A to F

Agent token: a key (sb_…) that lets an AI agent work in one project over MCP, made under Agents & API. Propose only proposes; Full access also edits as you, marked "via agent". Neither decides canon.
Alias: another name for an entity page. Mentions of an alias link to the page.
Blocked: a candidate whose quote isn't in the source word for word. It can't be accepted. See Evidence.
Candidate: a proposed fact waiting for a person's decision in Review. Drawn in pencil.
Canon: the facts your team accepted, each with a verified quote. Drawn in ink.
Canon name: the one name accepted canon uses for an entity, shown as "Canon calls it …" on its page. Renaming the page doesn't change it.
Change proposal: a request to rewrite one canon fact, with its impact, waiting for a decision. See Change impact.
Conflict: a possible clash between canon facts, found by a rule or suggested by the AI, for a person to judge. See Conflict rules.
Continuity check: the AI reads a draft or passage against accepted canon and reports what contradicts it, depends on it, or is new. Fixes are suggestions; nothing is applied.
Critic: the AI critic, a second AI opinion on a candidate (keep, reject or needs edit). Advice only; you decide.
Entity: a page per character, place, item, faction or event, filed for every name in canon or made by hand.
Evidence: the quote and passage a fact cites.
Folder: a Library label that groups documents, two levels deep. It never changes a document's text.

Impact: the canon facts and documents a change proposal may affect, each with a path, evidence and reason.
Note: an editorial comment pinned to a passage, moved from open to ready to done. Never canon.
Passage: one paragraph of a document, the unit a quote must sit in.
Re-check: confirming or keeping canon citations after their source got a new version. See Versions and re-check.

Story time: when something happens in the story, as D3 14:00 or day-only D3. Days can be 0 or negative for backstory.
