SAFETY & TRUST

POWER WITHOUT RECKLESSNESS.

Sortceror separates what it observes, what it knows, what it proposes, and what it is allowed to change. Authority is earned stage by stage, and it is never assumed.

AUTHORITY INSTRUMENT INTERACTIVE EXPLANATION

OBSERVED

The library has been read as it exists.

KNOWN

Identity resolved against reviewed knowledge.

PLACED

A destination exists under the active profile.

PLANNED

The exact plan is built and inspectable.

PERMITTED

You confirmed. Backup captured and verified.

VERIFIED

The result checked against the plan. Undo held.

No stage is lit. Nothing is assumed. Advance the example to earn each stage.

HONEST ABSTENTION

UNKNOWN DOES NOT MEAN GUESSED.

When evidence conflicts, the honest result is unknown. Understood entries proceed into the plan. Unresolved entries stay exactly where they are, visibly amber, until the evidence genuinely resolves.

The anchored entry is not a failure. It is the system declining to guess.

EXACT CHANGE SCOPE

What Sortceror actually changes.

Two different things live on your machine, and they are treated with two different levels of authority.

INSTALLED PLUGIN IMPLEMENTATION

DLL · VST3 · native installation

OBSERVED, NOT CASUALLY REORGANISED

The binaries your music depends on are evidence, not furniture. Sortceror reads them to understand identity.

FL STUDIO PLUGIN DATABASE

FST entries and associated presentation files

SAFELY PLANNED AND ORGANISED

The browsing layer FL Studio shows you. This is what Sortceror organises, behind a plan, a backup, and Undo.

THE SORTING CIRCLE

Inspect before action.

Before anything is permitted, the plan states exactly which entries are affected, where each one currently is, where it would go, and everything that will not be touched at all.

PROTECTION SEQUENCE

One plan earns permission, gate by gate.

One exact plan travels one route. Each gate must succeed before the next segment of the route exists, a failed gate stops the plan where it stands, and nothing downstream is earned by assumption. Run both outcomes as often as you like.

STANDING BY · NO RUN ACTIVE

Engine-captured still · actual phase, never decoration

GATE CONSOLE · STANDING BY EXECUTION · NOT PERMITTED

No run active. The exact plan is loaded and inspectable. Run the safe path, or simulate a destination collision to see a stop condition.

The journal records every step before it happens, so an interrupted run recovers to the truth instead of guessing at it. Modified files are never overwritten by Undo.

COLLISION BEHAVIOUR

A destination conflict is a stop condition, not an invitation to improvise.

If a destination is already occupied, the action does not mutate, rename around the problem, or quietly pick a new home. It stops, states why, and waits for you.

DESTINATION OCCUPIED

Action blocked

No files changed

EXECUTION REFUSED

SHARED AND LOCAL

Two kinds of knowledge, never confused.

The Grimoire holds reviewed shared product knowledge. Local Knowledge holds your corrections and preferences. Your correction never silently rewrites shared truth, and shared truth never overrides your placement.

LOCAL-FIRST BOUNDARY

Your library intelligence lives locally.

Online services, where used, must have a specific purpose and a clear boundary. That is a design law, stated here so it can be held against the shipped product rather than assumed.

CONFIDENCE IS NOT PERMISSION

A convincing answer is not the same as an authorised action.

These are three separate readouts in the product, and they never collapse into one glowing score.

IDENTITY EVIDENCE

Strong

PLACEMENT STATUS

Approved for current profile

EXECUTION STATUS

Awaiting confirmation

THE RUN LEDGER

The ledger, not the promise.

Every organise run is recorded with its verification state, backup identity and Undo availability. A collision produces a recorded run with zero change, not a silent overwrite.

SAFETY FAQ

Plain answers.

DESIGN-STAGE COPY · final published answers will match physically verified packaged behaviour, word for word.

Does Sortceror delete plugins?

No. Deletion is not part of the organise model. Sortceror plans additions and moves inside the FL Studio Plugin Database, and unknown entries are left untouched.

Does it move my installed DLL or VST3 binaries?

No. Installed plugin implementations are observed as evidence, not casually reorganised. What Sortceror organises is the FL Studio Plugin Database: FST entries and their associated presentation files.

What happens when something is not recognised?

It is recorded as unknown, stays exactly where it is, and appears as a genuine exception. Unknown is an honest result, never a guess.

Can I inspect changes before they happen?

Yes. The Sorting Circle is the exact plan: affected entries, current paths, proposed paths, unchanged entries, untouched unknowns, protected entries, collision state, and overwrite count, all before you permit anything.

Can Sortceror overwrite an existing destination?

No. A destination conflict is a stop condition. The blocked state reads: DESTINATION OCCUPIED, action blocked, no files changed.

Does high confidence mean automatic movement?

No. Confidence is not permission. Identity evidence, placement status, and execution status are three separate readouts, and execution always waits for your confirmation.

Does Sortceror upload my library?

Your library intelligence lives locally. Online services, where used, must have a specific purpose and a clear boundary, and that boundary is stated rather than assumed.

Can an organisation be undone?

Yes. Every run captures a verified backup first, keeps a journal, verifies the result, and preserves Undo. Modified files are never overwritten by Undo.
