Use the Console

Understand where the Console fits for interactive configuration, inspection, testing, controls, and operational evidence.

The Console is the interactive view of the same Resources and public operations exposed through the CLI and Platform API. Use it when a person needs to discover available capabilities, review configuration, follow references, inspect a Run, complete an authorization flow, resolve a wait, or apply a deliberate control.

The Console should make authority visible before mutation. Detail pages show canonical identity, accepted versions, bindings, Policy, status, timestamps, and relevant evidence. Wizards collect provider-defined configuration and secret material through protected workflows; Agent code never receives that material.

Console tables are bounded operational views. A recent Run list may come from analytics and omit older records because of the selected interval or limit. Opening an exact Run follows its authoritative owner for workflow and journal state. Historical analysis belongs in Analytics queries and exports.

Use the CLI when a task must be repeatable in a pipeline. Use the Platform API when another product owns the workflow. Use the SDK only for code that Constal will execute. Contextual help in the Console links directly to the product task or concept being displayed rather than to a generic documentation homepage.
