Reference

Use the reference for exact names and contracts after the task-oriented guides establish the workflow.

Reference	What it answers
Module Javadoc	Classes, interfaces, parameters, results and exception contracts for each module
Configuration	Which object owns a setting and how it is supplied
Manifests and policies	Actual manifest fields and the host-policy boundary
Errors	Stable middleware error codes and safe responses
Distributed semantics	What success, retry, ownership and uncertainty mean
Limits	Concrete defaults/bounds and their implementing sources
Glossary	Terms used consistently throughout the manual
Annotation reference	All current public annotations and usage examples
CLI	Application tooling, Nugget targeting, admission, queries and exit status
Typed administration API	Public Java DTO families, target generations, limits and uncertain outcomes
Administration JSON	Version 1 envelopes, schema, payload bindings and adapter responsibilities
Local messaging storage	Journal schema, recovery events and implementation bounds

The public API is distributed across JPMS modules. j7m-api contains contracts; j7m-kernel implements the invocation core; j7m-runtime supplies first-party registry/runtime assembly; transport modules carry remote calls; j7m-application-platform handles verified application activation and managed components; j7m-application-distributed bridges those components to native durable resources. See the module map for the complete orientation.

The current public API defines the supported contract. Application examples show the intended usage directly; generated adapters, named host profiles and operation-specific recovery rules determine the actual behavior.
