This glossary keeps Deep Dive DVC's recurring terms stable across modules, reference pages, and capstone review routes. Use it when the repository is concrete enough to inspect, but the local meaning of a word still needs to be pinned down.

How to use this glossary

Open it when a term matters for a decision: which state layer is authoritative, what kind of evidence settles the question, or which verification route should answer it. Do not read it as a list to memorize.
