The Server owns file access and exposes the HTTP API. It serves the browser client, authenticates requests, enforces space access and coordinates file changes, including concurrent-edit reconciliation.

Server services

• Search maintains a server-side full-text index and, when configured, a semantic index.
• Revisions maintains or reads Git history and can synchronize a managed repository with a remote.
• The Runtime API can run space operations through a managed headless client when configured and authorized.
• Multi-space deployments manage accounts, space membership and administration through the Dashboard.

Client responsibilities

The Architecture/Client builds the Object Index used by structured queries, runs Space Lua and plugs, and renders the editor. Browser Sync maintains configured content in local storage for offline work. This structured index is distinct from the Server’s search index.

Desktop embeds the shared server alongside its editor, working against a local folder. Its optional external Server connection is described in Desktop Sync.
