Source State is a GitOps term for the versioned configuration stored in Git or another trusted source. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: OpenGitOps principles; Argo CD documentation.

Reconciliation is a GitOps term for the repeated process of moving live state closer to desired state. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: OpenGitOps principles; Kubernetes controller pattern; Flux documentation.
