Developer Manual
Build, test, and operate an AnswerUp integration.
This implementation manual connects the conceptual model to the exact API Reference. It explains what the host must provide, how independent verification works, and how to handle uncertain outcomes.
Package installation access remains associated with the Private Preview. The existing lumber walkthrough is explanatory rather than executable; a public quickstart is withheld until a clean external-consumer path, approved artifacts, and lifecycle evidence are validated.

Architecture and responsibilities
Understand the host, packages, provider, verifier, and authority boundaries.
Read chapter →Prerequisites
Confirm the supported package tuple, runtime requirements, and host responsibilities.
Read chapter →Package guide
Choose the package surface and import boundary for your integration.
Read chapter →Grounding and authorization
Bind proposals to candidates, trusted context, and policy before dispatch.
Read chapter →Execution and reconciliation
Separate dispatch acknowledgment, effect truth, and safe recovery.
Read chapter →Provider adapters
Implement the host-owned mutation boundary without claiming effect truth.
Read chapter →Independent verifiers
Read authoritative state and classify bounded evidence.
Read chapter →Results and errors
Handle closed outcomes and recovery boundaries safely.
Read chapter →Persistence
Design host-owned records without implying AnswerUp supplies a database.
Read chapter →Operations
Separate tested behavior, host responsibility, and operational recommendations.
Read chapter →Testing and conformance
Test adapters, verifiers, unknown outcomes, and zero redispatch.
Read chapter →Troubleshooting
Diagnose common integration failures without unsafe retries.
Read chapter →Versioning
Use the tested package tuple and identify the limits of compatibility evidence.
Read chapter →Planned integrations, hosted execution, durable restart recovery, and broader connector support remain on the Roadmap rather than in current implementation instructions.
