What it does
Arctic is the code name for the DotTalk++ Workbench TUI surface.
The family group is DotTalk++ Workbench. Arctic should not be used as the umbrella name for all GUI, browser, shell, and workflow surfaces.
Its subject is the terminal/TUI presentation layer around the runtime:
- TUI menus and panels.
- Tuple grids and record popups.
- Command/output panes in the TUI shell.
- Keyboard-driven workbench interaction.
Runtime screenshots for the current Arctic TUI evidence lane are collected in the LabTalk Runtime Evidence Gallery.
Real local command surfaces and workflow anchors include:
BUILDLMDB
BUILDLMDB CLEAN YES
BUILDLMDB FORCE YES
REINDEX
CMDHELPCHK
CMDHELPCHK REF
WORKSPACE OPEN DBF
WORKSPACE OPEN DBF CDX
WORKSPACE SAVE <name>
WORKSPACE LOAD <name>
DotScript scripts, smoke checks, maintenance lanes, GUI previews, and generated proposal packages belong under the broader DotTalk++ Workbench family, not under Arctic unless they are specifically TUI-facing.
