 ### Operations: Kinds and Rules
 
 Each operation has a kind:
-- kind: instance      (CRUD for the service instance, plus suspend/resume)
+
-- kind: subresource   (CRUD for objects inside the service, e.g. users/databases)
+**instance** — CRUD for the service instance, plus suspend/resume:
-- kind: action        (one-shot operations, e.g. restart/recovery/redeploy)
+| API action | Terraform behavior |
+|---|---|
+| create | `terraform apply` (new resource) |
+| delete | `terraform destroy` |
+| modify | `terraform apply` (params changed) |
+| suspend | `terraform destroy` when `suspend_on_destroy=true` |
+| resume | `terraform apply` when `adopt_existing_on_create=true` |
+
+**subresource** — CRUD for objects inside the service (users, databases, topics):
+- Exposed as separate resources: `nubes_{service}_{subresource}`
+- Identity = `{parent_instance_uid, subresource_key}` (e.g. `{postgres_id, username}`)
+- Supports `adopt_existing_on_create` — if subresource already exists, adopt it instead of failing
+
+**action** — one-shot operations. **Only `redeploy` is included**:
+- `redeploy` → **inline**: field `git_revision` in the main resource. When it changes, call redeploy instead of (or after) modify
+- `restart`, `recovery`, `reconcile` → **excluded**. These are manual operational tasks, performed via UI only. Reason:
+  - `restart` — modify handles pod restart when needed
+  - `recovery` — creates a new instance from backup, not a modification of existing
+  - `reconcile` — sync after manual changes; Terraform owns its own state
 
 ### Idempotency Rules
 
 - instance CRUD is idempotent via standard Terraform behavior.
 - subresource CRUD is idempotent by resource identity.
-- action operations are idempotent via a trigger field (e.g. run_id/nonce).
+- `redeploy`: idempotent via `git_revision` field — if unchanged, no redeploy
-  If the trigger does not change, the action is not re-run.

+- Core MUST retry transient 401 errors from Gateway (3 attempts, exponential backoff).
+  Gateway may temporarily reject valid JWT tokens.
+- GET operations (GetInstanceState, GetInstanceStateRaw) retry 401 with 2s/4s/8s backoff.
