# Verae Time × Zapier — system overview
High-level description of the whole system: what it is, which **independent git repositories** implement it, how it stays up, how it behaves when the local network fails, and how it talks to the **central Verae NATS.IO 3-server cluster**. New work is added by **new address routing**, not by teaching Zapier about NATS.
**This repo:** https://git.georgelambert.org/marchon/overview
**Bring online:** https://zapier.georgelambert.org/packages/verae-ops/GETTING-STARTED.pdf
**Live catalog (PDF by default):** https://zapier.georgelambert.org/ · [Markdown indexes](https://zapier.georgelambert.org/index-md.html)
**Clone:** `ssh://git@git.georgelambert.org:2223/marchon/overview.git`
## Table of contents
1. [System](01-system.md) — what runs where; Zapier never speaks NATS
2. [Modules and repositories](02-modules-and-repos.md) — every independent Forgejo repo
3. [NATS.IO 3-server cluster](03-nats-cluster.md) — JetStream, subjects, who may connect
4. [Uptime](04-uptime.md) — replica floors, restart, SSH spread
5. [Local network failures](05-network-failures.md) — reconnect, silence, pending, failover
6. [Address routing](06-address-routing.md) — how to add unplanned functions
7. [External resources](07-external-resources.md) — searches, storage, chain
8. [Architectural diagrams](08-diagrams.md) — SVG + mermaid
9. [Expansion template](09-expansion-template.md) — `verae-nats-process`
10. [Documentation index](INDEX.md) — pointer into all other docs
## One-screen picture
![System context](diagrams/system.svg)
Zapier → HTTPS `zappier-edge` → HTTPS `verae-middleware` → **NATS cluster** → workers, WORM archives, tree nodes. Chain HTTPS is `api.veraetime.net` (or MOCK). Fleet keeps minimum copies, including tree nodes.

## Operator console (loopback)
Fleet, message **Trace**, and **Docs** share one shell at http://127.0.0.1:3850/ (`verae-fleet`). Not public. See [CONSOLE.pdf](https://zapier.georgelambert.org/packages/verae-fleet/docs/CONSOLE.pdf).
