Paths Links and Item IDs
SynckHub supports both human-readable location references and stable object identifiers.
Path links
Use path links when humans need location context.
- easy to share in workflows
- useful for navigation handoffs
- still permission-checked at access time
Item IDs
Use item IDs when systems need precise references.
- stable for support/debugging flows
- useful in exact retrieval and correlation
- less ambiguous than human naming patterns
Operational rule
Use path links for people, IDs for systems.
Common mistake
Treating a path link as an access grant. It is not. Access is always enforced by current permissions.
