# Sequence
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for:** request/response flows, protocol exchanges, multi-actor interactions over time, API call traces, incident reconstructions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Layout conventions
|
||||
- Actors as boxes in a horizontal row at the top.
|
||||
- **Lifelines**: dashed vertical lines descending from each actor to the bottom.
|
||||
- Messages: horizontal arrows between lifelines; time flows top→down.
|
||||
- **Activation bar**: narrow rectangle (`w=8`, muted fill, 0.8 hairline stroke) on a lifeline spanning the interval that actor holds control. Stack for nested calls.
|
||||
- Self-messages: short U-shaped loop returning to the same lifeline; label right of the loop.
|
||||
- Return messages: dashed line in the same color as the originating call.
|
||||
- Coral on the primary success response or headline message — one, maybe two.
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-patterns
|
||||
- Message arrow pointing *upward* (reverses time — never).
|
||||
- Activation bars that never close.
|
||||
- Labels sitting over another lifeline — shorten or shift y into a gap.
|
||||
- Swimlane-style lanes instead of lifelines (different grammar).
|
||||
|
||||
## Lifeline primitive
|
||||
```svg
|
||||
<line x1="CX" y1="TOP" x2="CX" y2="BOTTOM"
|
||||
stroke="rgba(11,13,11,0.20)" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="3,3"/>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Activation bar primitive
|
||||
```svg
|
||||
<rect x="CX-4" y="TOP" width="8" height="H"
|
||||
fill="rgba(11,13,11,0.06)" stroke="#52534e" stroke-width="0.8"/>
|
||||
```
