Reference

Scope and support

These guides describe the repository's consumer-facing programming model and local development paths. They separate implemented mechanisms from deployment claims.

What the guides cover

• Compiling and running Vulcan programs with the repository tools.
• Understanding the responsibilities of the blockchain's layers.
• Starting a local chain walkthrough with a provisioned localnet toolchain.
• Building a browser UI with Venus and delivering its static bundle.
• Using product specs, role fixtures and named actor contexts.

What to verify for your environment

A public installer, hosted blockchain endpoint, production service policy and platform-specific UI host are separate deliverables. Their existence is not implied by a language example or a successful browser build.

Some parts of the repository are proposals or target-specific implementations. Check the feature and environment you intend to use before relying on it. Browser qualification does not qualify Android, GTK or native wgpu behavior.

Reporting a problem

Record the source revision, compiler and runtime versions, target platform, command and exact diagnostic. Include a small reproduction with no secrets or personal data. For UI failures, add the page route, expected behavior, observed behavior and a sanitized capture.

Documentation edition

This first edition prioritizes a coherent path through the stack. It is not yet an exhaustive standard-library or protocol reference. The repository's language specification and component contracts remain the detailed implementation references.
