The Lab brings source documents and a graph of Nika objects into one workspace. Use it to follow a question across language fields, tools, crates and the documents that describe them. Public guides remain on docs.nika.sh.

​
Follow an object

1

Choose a category or search for an object

Open Explorer and select a language field, tool or crate. Search by its name and inspect its canonical identifier when similar names appear.
2

Read its reference

Documentation opens the object’s dedicated page on docs.nika.sh when an explicit mapping exists. Guide de la catégorie opens a related guide when there is no dedicated reference. For example, nika:assert has its own tool reference, and after has its own field reference.

Inspect sources and neighbors

The source cards identify the original repository and revision. The relation view shows connected objects; open a neighbor to continue reading or open the graph for the wider context.

​
Understand the different reading surfaces

A captured document can contain MDX imports or expressions used by the original documentation renderer. The Lab keeps those fragments as inert source; the public documentation is the destination for the rendered guide. A captured source can also be older than the published page: compare their revisions before reporting a contradiction.

​
Read evidence in context

Being present in the graph does not mean a feature is released. A benchmark entry without an imported result is not a score. An archived campaign describes its recorded run, not the current engine. Keep the version, source and receipt attached to each conclusion. Engine status identifies the released implementation. Traces explain execution evidence. The knowledge system explains how imports, identities and synchronization are checked. Private workspace data stays in the workspace; these public guides do not publish its contents.
