Core concepts

The vocabulary for the active Woven Host managed path, followed by the capabilities that remain Preview.

Woven Host lifecycle

Product: The console resource you create and allocate capacity to. Its product ID is distinct from the Woven protocol namespace and session IDs assigned at provisioning.
Capacity allocation: Capacity = tick rate (Hz) × allocated CCU (concurrent users). New sign-ins remain guest with zero capacity until approved. The approved Lite default is 250 capacity units, shared across products; Pro defaults to 2,500 units. Custom approved budgets are preserved.
Running: The lifecycle state that confirms the managed runtime is ready for descriptor reveal and client admission. Treat Running as the authoritative readiness signal.
Connection descriptor: The sensitive connection material explicitly revealed for a Running product. Use its native or browser endpoint, trust information, Bearer credential, and assigned protocol identifiers as returned rather than deriving replacements from the product ID.

Rust client: The Rust woven-client connects to the descriptor's native QUIC endpoint with TLS verification enabled.
TypeScript client: The Online browser client carries WVN1 over WebTransport and HTTP/3/QUIC to the same managed runtime through the descriptor's separate webTransport.url endpoint.
Bearer authentication: The client presents the descriptor's Bearer credential during the secure connection. It is runtime admission material, separate from the identity used to sign in to the Woven Host console.
Managed admission: The runtime validates the managed credential and admits the connection to the namespace and session assigned by Woven Host. The descriptor supplies those IDs.
Logical space: The descriptor returns fixed logical spaces plus complete managed 3D Spatial Subspace definitions. Host allocates numeric IDs from 3, enforces AABB bounds, and permits at most 64 add-only spatial definitions per server generation.
Channel and Ephemeral events: The descriptor returns the fixed channel used by the managed session. Its events are Ephemeral: connected recipients receive live traffic, and the event lifetime ends with the runtime state.

Lite: The active entry tier: a 250-unit default capacity budget, managed product lifecycle, descriptor reveal, native Rust QUIC, browser WebTransport, the TypeScript browser client, and managed spatial routing.
Pro and Dedicated: Preview tiers offered through private founder access first.
Persistence: Ephemeral events are the active managed data model. Persistence beyond Ephemeral remains Preview.
Inference: Inference is Preview, with private founder access first.
