📖What it means

A droid seen from the scheduling side: work that happens repeatedly rather than once. Carolverse has exactly three shapes — SCHEDULED (wakes on a clock), TRIGGERED (wakes on an event) and ONGOING (never stops). Whichever shape it takes, a process must emit a run record every time it fires, or the monitor cannot tell the difference between healthy silence and death.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Daemon", "distinction": "A daemon is one of the three shapes a process can take \u2014 the ongoing one."}, {"term": "Run", "distinction": "The process is the standing arrangement; a run is one firing of it."}, {"term": "Step execution", "distinction": "A process repeats on its own schedule; a step execution happens once, inside an initiative's plan."}]

📖Also called
