- [Plugins](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/plugins.md): Independently-developed components that attach to a host at defined extension points to add capabilities.
- [Runtime Indirection](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/runtime-indirection.md): Resolving a binding or call target at runtime through an intermediary layer rather than a direct, static reference.
- [Broker/Event Bus](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/broker-event-bus.md): A runtime intermediary that routes messages between publishers and subscribers.
- [Consumer](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/consumer.md): A component that receives and processes messages from a queue or topic.
- [Message Queue/Topics](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/message-queue-topics.md): The durable queues and topics through which a broker routes messages to consumers.
- [Message Relay](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/message-relay.md): A component that reads pending messages from an outbox and publishes them to the broker.
- [Publisher](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/publisher.md): A component that emits messages to a topic or bus for subscribers to receive.
- [Subscriber](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/subscriber.md): A component that registers interest in a topic and receives its messages.
- [Macro Systems](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/macro-systems.md): A facility that lets code transform other code at compile time by operating on its data representation.
- [Data Pipeline](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/data-pipeline.md): The stages that ingest, clean, and transform data into a form suitable for training or inference.
- [Guardrails](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/guardrails.md): Constraints and filters that bound what a model is permitted to output or do at runtime.
- [Retriever](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/retriever.md): A component that finds and returns the most relevant documents for a query.
- [Retraining Triggers](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/retraining-triggers.md): Signals that automatically initiate model retraining when measured drift crosses a threshold.
- [Registry](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/registry.md): A central store that maps keys to registered components for later lookup.
- [Version Control](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/version-control.md): A system that records changes to files over time so any version can be recovered, compared, or audited.
- [Registry/Discovery Mechanism](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/registry-discovery-mechanism.md): A facility that lets components find and resolve one another at runtime.
- [Controls](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/controls.md): The safeguards and countermeasures put in place to reduce security or compliance risk to an acceptable level.
- [Policy Engine](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/policy-engine.md): A runtime component that evaluates access requests against declared policies and returns permit or deny decisions.
- [TLS/mTLS](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/tls-mtls.md): Transport-layer protocols that encrypt a connection and, with mutual TLS, mutually authenticate both endpoints.
- [Traffic Splitting](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/traffic-splitting.md): A facility that routes a configurable proportion of traffic to different versions of a service.
- [Remote Stub](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/remote-stub.md): A local stand-in object that forwards calls to an object living in another process or machine.
- [Subject Slot](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/subject-slot.md): A facility that names who or what a file serves, occupying the first dot-segment of the filename.
- [Variant Slot](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/variant-slot.md): A facility that narrows a subject to one facet, occupying the segment between subject and concern and present only on collision or facet ambiguity.
- [Container Level](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/container-level.md): A facility that partitions a governed root by grouping axis, declared as a closed set and anchoring the depth count at level one.
- [Concern Folder](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/concern-folder.md): A facility that holds every file of one concern and whose label the file's concern tag must equal.
- [Subject Folder](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/subject-folder.md): A facility that separates two sets of one concern under a container, present if and only if the sets must not merge.
- [Flat Bucket](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/flat-bucket.md): A facility that holds one collection concern as files with no folders beneath it, declared rather than inferred from shape.
- [Shape-Discovered Surface](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/shape-discovered-surface.md): A facility that collects its members by matching a pattern rather than by literal path, so a rename silently changes what it collects.
