Four columns hold a lifecycle: ideas.status, runs.status, workers.state and candidates.verdict. A CHECK constraint fixes the set of values of each one. piloop has no table of allowed transitions: the daemon and the CLI take the paths below. Anyone with piloop sql can set any value, for example to park an idea or to change a verdict. These are the values, generated from the enums in piloop/db/models.py:

​
Idea

A newer idea that supersedes a seed, proposed or ready idea that never ran makes the daemon reject it. You, the orchestrator and research also park or reject ideas by hand. See Ideas, seeds and runs.

​
Run

A run that the daemon stopped is not counted as an attempt. Its idea goes back to ready.

​
Agent

A workers row is an agent process of any role. While it is requested, the row is a request to start one.

​
Candidate verdict

The daemon sets a verdict once. Anyone may change it later, and should say why in a comment. See the verdict.
