Look things up here. Each page covers one surface of the app at full depth: every button, every field, every drag handle, every keyboard shortcut.

If you're learning a workflow, use [Guides](../guides/) instead. Reference is the index, not the tutorial.

## What's in here

- **[Interactions](./interactions.md)**: every drag handle, resize boundary, right-click menu, double-click, hover behavior, and gesture in the app. Start here if you're hunting for "how do I make X bigger?" or "what does right-clicking Y do?"
- **[Keyboard shortcuts](./keyboard-shortcuts.md)**: the full table. Includes context (when each shortcut fires vs. is suppressed), modifier conflicts, and the Escape stack hierarchy.
- **[Popups & modals](./popups.md)**: every popup in the app, what opens it, what's inside.
- **[Settings](./settings/)**: every tab in the Settings popup, every field. One page per tab.
- **[Agent roles](./agent-roles.md)**: the 16 built-in roles, what each one defaults to, when to use which.
- **[File formats](./file-formats.md)**: `.cerevisor`, `.cerevisor-world`, `.opaal`. What's inside each file, how they're loaded, when each is used.
- **[Glossary](./glossary.md)**: every domain term defined once. If you see a word you don't recognize in another doc, it's defined here.

## How to read these pages

Reference pages are dense by design. They use these conventions:

- **Bold field names** on their own line, with the field's purpose immediately after.
- **Tables** for any catalog (shortcuts, popups, fields) so you can scan.
- **Constraints** (min/max bounds, when something is disabled, which modes a feature is available in) are always noted explicitly.
- **File:line references** point into the codebase for anyone who wants to confirm a behavior themselves. End users can ignore these.
