How does building together stay safe?
Collaborating should never mean losing control over your own environment. That's why Mia Connect is safe by design — not by good intentions.
One writer, so never a conflict
When building together, nothing is ever synchronised between two Mias. The app lives in one place — with the owner — and writing only happens there. Participants send requests, not files. Work can't get overwritten and a half-finished sync can't wreck your app: that situation simply doesn't exist.
The preview is a snapshot
What participants see of the app is a snapshot: an image of how the app looks right now, shown in a shielded frame. It's not a working copy with your real data behind it. Everyone can judge the result without a single byte of your data leaving your environment.
Boundaries are technology, not an agreement
The rules of a build session — only this app, no stored data, no commands on the server — are enforced at the moment Mia executes the work. A request outside the boundaries isn't "discouraged", it's simply impossible. Deliberately switch something on and the wider boundary applies; switch it off and the door is truly closed.
The same hardness applies between users: every Mia runs in its own shielded environment and can't just walk into another Mia. Everything goes through the central point, which checks every request.
Credits and accountability
Build work runs on the owner's Mia and is billed there in credits — so nobody can secretly build elsewhere at your expense. Every executed request also shows who sent it in, so you can always look back at what happened and by whom.
Frequently asked questions
Can a participant run code on my server?
Only if you deliberately switched on running commands for that session. It's off by default, and then it's technically impossible.
What does a participant see of my Mia?
Only the build session itself: the queue, who takes part and the snapshot of the app. Your other apps, files and conversations are invisible.
What happens when a build request fails?
You and the sender get a notification and the app simply stays as it was. The next request can pick it right back up.

Roles and rights when building together
Four roles, access per person or for all your connections, and exposure that's closed by default. This is how you decide exactly who may do what.

Start a build session, let connections send in requests and watch the app grow live. Several build sessions work in parallel and tell each other what changes.
