Guided Journey: Open Harborview for the day

This tutorial is for developers who want to understand the complete Pilotage loop by performing one real job.

Harborview is a deterministic smart-building simulator. It accepts programs written in buildingflow/1, a small language that exists only on this server.

The job is simple to describe:

Turn on the lobby lights, unlock the loading-dock door for daytime access, install an alarm that notifies Facilities when the dock door opens after hours, and verify the result.

The language is intentionally unfamiliar. The server must teach it before it can be used.

By the end, the journey will cover:

→ learn
→ look up
→ author

→ gate
→ execute
→ verify
→ trace
→ recover from drift
