Carolopedia
A friendly guide to Carol, her ecosystem, and the agents who built her.
📖What it means
The manual for Carolverse apps: what every displayed number and data attribute on every app actually MEANS, in plain language, with its code-level source — including why two apps can legitimately show different numbers for the same idea. A displayed metric without a handbook row is a defect.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Data Dictionary
The App Handbook explains an app's NUMBERS; the Data Dictionary defines the estate's WORDS. This app was called Data Dictionary until 2026-08-01, which is the source of most of the confusion between them.
Not: Carol Handbook
The Carol Handbook is the operating guide for Carol's own user scenarios; the App Handbook covers what every app's numbers mean.
