Glossary

Terms used in this documentation, in alphabetical order.

Build​

One execution of a pipeline. Each push, pull request, or manual run produces one build with live logs, status, timing, and any container images or artifacts it produced. See Builds.

Build id​

The unique, stable identifier for a build, the canonical way to refer to one. It appears as the first column of the builds list (shortened, with a copy button), in the build's page title, and in its URL. Share it to point someone at a specific build. A retry gets a new build id. See Builds → Identifying a build.

Job​

A named unit of work in .loha.yml. A pipeline can have 1–20 jobs. Jobs run in parallel by default; use needs: to express dependencies. Each job runs in its own isolated environment with its own resource budget. See Pipelines → Jobs.

Pipeline​

The sequence of work that runs when a trigger fires, defined in .loha.yml. A pipeline is made of one or more jobs, each containing steps. See Pipelines.

Pipeline-as-Code​

Describing your pipeline in a versioned config file (.loha.yml) checked into your repository. Loha is pipeline-as-code only: the dashboard's editor is a convenience layer over the same file; nothing bypasses it.

Plan​

Named subscription tiers (e.g. Free, Starter, Professional, Enterprise) are a planned feature: pricing and packaging aren't finalized yet. Today, each workspace's available resource classes, parallel-build cap, log/artifact retention window, and seat limits are governed by a limit preset applied when the workspace is provisioned. See Limits.

Resource class​

Pipeline-level compute budget: micro, small, medium, large. Set once at the top of .loha.yml and applied to every job. Available classes depend on your workspace's limit preset. See Pipelines → Resource classes.

Step​

The smallest unit of execution in a job. Either a run: shell command or a uses: reference to an official task from the catalog. Steps in a job run sequentially and share the same workspace filesystem.

Trigger​

The condition in .loha.yml on: that starts a pipeline run. Supported types: push, pull_request, workflow_dispatch. See Triggers.

Workspace​

An isolated environment that owns repositories, secrets, members, and a plan. Workloads in one workspace cannot see or affect those in another. See Workspaces.
