Directions¶

Reconcile and plan are directional. There is no merge mode, last-writer-wins, or background sync.

Value	Authority	Mutation target
to_eve	Local IaC desired state	managed EVE lab
from_eve	managed EVE lab (reproducible fields)	existing Local IaC project

Omitted direction is to_eve. Empty string also resolves to to_eve on the agent. Explicit to_eve is still distinct on the wire from omission. Invalid values (auto, both, push, pull, …) return 400 invalid_direction.

Human UI may say Apply to EVE / Pull from EVE. Those are not request values.

from_eve is not Import. See import.

plan_identity is opaque and direction-scoped. Do not mix a to_eve identity with a from_eve reconcile (409 plan_stale).
