Deep Dive

This section documents the actual runtime behavior from code and schema, including step contracts, rule phases, audit traces, control-plane tables, MCP orchestration, and Semantic Query.

Quick jump​

  • Lifecycle: End-to-end turn lifecycle and branch points.
  • Real World Examples: Turn-by-turn chat, DB contracts, and audit timeline walkthroughs.
  • Data Model: ce_* table contracts and runtime/control-plane split.
  • Thymeleaf + SpEL: Template rendering, expressions, and context evaluation.
  • Verbose and Conversation Runtime: ce_verbose resolution path, determinants, stream envelope, and ce_conversation runtime behavior.
  • Table Config: Detailed ce_* tables, columns, config values, and runtime usage.
  • Developer Guide: Consumer implementation and extension strategy.
  • File Map: Source-level map of key classes by responsibility.
  • Pipeline Steps: Full step-by-step pipeline with exact stage purpose.
  • Intent & Schema: Intent resolution and schema extraction internals.
  • Rules & Responses: Rule phases, match/action behavior, and response resolution.
  • MCP: MCP planner/tool orchestration, audit surfaces, and Semantic Query.
  • v2 Features: Detailed breakdown of release-line capabilities.
  • Failure Gotchas: Common failure and correctness risks.
  • Improvement Backlog: Known follow-up items and design pressure points.

What this section is for​

Use Deep Dive when you need the real runtime model, not just onboarding guidance.

  • Use it to trace which step made a decision.
  • Use it to identify which ce_* table owns a behavior.
  • Use it to understand how rules, responses, prompts, MCP, and Semantic Query interact.
  • Use it to debug production issues with audit-stage and step-level precision.
