Buy
Select Orbit or OpenClaw, choose a plan, and create an order tied to a customer record.
Tides
Every instance moves through a named lifecycle.
BayStore keeps commercial intent, rendered release, and observed runtime state aligned. The buyer sees where the instance is and what boundary is active.
Provision
The instance enters `provisioning` while BayStore records desired commercial state and access metadata.
Operate
Health, backup metadata, suspension, resume, and upgrade intent remain visible as lifecycle transitions.
Recover
When a readiness gate fails, state is preserved. Operators retry, roll back, or restore instead of overwriting the record.
Retire
Deleted instances remain represented by terminal state for audit and commercial reconciliation.
