Suction Cup
/[vɑ̃.tuz]/n.Origin
From Latin ventosa, describing the muscular suction disks of cephalopods creating vacuum adhesion. In Synedre, it denotes an ephemeral, highly specialized execution unit tightly gripping a single focused technical task.
Definition
An ephemeral, surgical sub-session spawned by a parent tentacle within an execution arm to perform a bounded technical task without bloating the parent's memory context. Governed by a two-state lifecycle: Adhesion (active processing, bounded by a fleet limit of 30 concurrent active units) and Release (stop-keep standby mode, zero CPU usage while preserving disk and worktree state).
Example
A parent tentacle spawns a suction cup in arm B2 to isolate a heavy refactoring task. Once completed, the unit transitions into release mode, preserving artifacts without consuming server compute.
