The engine
Work is durable. Items are leased, retried with a recorded history, and recovered if a worker stops. Pausing a source stops new claims. Work already leased may finish.
An operator can define a market and give it a share of claim slots per scheduled tick. Those shares are not a percentage of CPU, bandwidth, or money. Source concurrency, pacing, and request budgets still apply.
Changing how discoveries are ranked does not by itself fetch new pages or rewrite stored evidence.
What is not connected
Live profile delivery from Tilling, and a production fetch transport, are not part of this public site. The operations console shows those integrations as not connected until they are configured.
