Definitions for the core concepts used throughout Quadratique.

Active issue

An issue that has not been archived or permanently deleted. Active issues appear in the default list and board.

Agent

Blocked by

A directional relationship showing that an issue is waiting on another issue. The other end of the same relationship is shown as blocks.

Board

A view that organizes active issues into columns by status.

Comment

Structured discussion content attached to an issue. Workspace members can read comments; only the author can edit or delete their comment.

Machine

An enrolled development machine that advertises Runtimes and models and can run delegated work up to its concurrency cap.

Issue

A unit of work with a required title, one status, and optional description, assignee, priority, tags, and parent.

Parent issue

The issue immediately above a sub-issue. An issue can have at most one parent.

Priority

An optional signal of importance: Low, Medium, High, or Urgent.

Run

Runtime

A coding harness installed on a connected machine, together with the models it makes available. Codex CLI and Claude Code are examples.
