colinear docs

  • Demo mode — coli demo: a populated board, no account, nothing billed
  • Getting started — install, configure, dispatch your first issue
  • Security & blast radius — what colinear can touch, what it can't, where your data lives
  • How dispatch works — the triage → work → checks pipeline, messaging agents, sessions
  • Configuration — every option and its default
  • Remote daemon — run the daemon on a VM, drive it over ssh (work in progress)
  • Docker — the daemon (and therefore agents) in a container (work in progress)
  • CLI — coli, init, daemon, gc, contexts, doctor
  • Architecture — how it works inside
