Activity

๐Ÿ“–What it means

A unit of work that involves running a process via a droid in Carolverse. What actually happened: one logged thing an agent did, attributed to the agent and to the work it belongs to. An activity is the unit of RECORD โ€” the audit trail. It is defined by the fact that it was done and written down, never by whether it cost anything: an activity may carry a paid call, several, or none at all. The activity ledger is how 'who did what today' is answerable. Activities fold into tasks.

๐Ÿ“–Easily confused with

[{"term": "Call", "distinction": "An activity may carry no paid call, one, or several. The call is the spend; the activity is the record that something was done."}, {"term": "Task", "distinction": "The plan an activity is evidence against, declared before the activity existed."}, {"term": "Run", "distinction": "One execution of a droid, which may log several activities."}]

๐Ÿ“–Nuance

The three are separate ledgers and must not be read as versions of each other: a task's actuals are made of activities; some activities carry calls; calls carry the money. Counting one to answer for another is what made every earlier count meaningless. Lead definition ruled by Ninad, 2026-09-17, CLI-461.
