This is the developer-facing entry point to the ctrlplane codebase. It shows how the apps in this monorepo fit together when a deployment version moves from creation to execution.

The orchestration loop

CLI or curl calls register a deployment version against apps/api (①). The api persists the version and writes a work item into the reconcile_work_scope table in Postgres (②) — this is the only thing the api does to “start” orchestration; it does not call the engine. apps/workspace-engine controllers continuously lease items from that queue (③), and each controller’s output enqueues work for the next controller (planning → policy → dispatch). When dispatch fires, the engine reaches out to a job agent over HTTPS (④). Results come back through webhooks to the api (⑤), which writes the job update plus any follow-up work into the queue (⑥). The engine picks it up again. The loop ③↔⑥ is the whole orchestration model — every release phase is a trip through the queue.
