๐What it means
A single-concern worker owned by exactly one agent. A droid does one job โ scan, sweep, review, dispatch, author โ and every droid is registered, so it can be monitored, budgeted and retired. Droids are where the work actually happens; when something runs in Carolverse, a droid ran it.
๐Easily confused with
[{"term": "Daemon", "distinction": "A droid is a registered UNIT OF WORK with an owner; a daemon is a running program that never exits. A droid may be run by a daemon, by a schedule, or by a trigger \u2014 the two words answer different questions: 'whose job is this' versus 'how is it running'."}, {"term": "Agent", "distinction": "A droid does the work; the agent that owns it answers for the work."}, {"term": "Process", "distinction": "A process is a droid seen from the scheduling side \u2014 a droid that runs on a clock, a trigger or continuously."}]
