Operate Velox Designer and engine services

Velox Designer is the interactive configuration application. Velox Service hosts schedules, file monitors, inbound Transport checks and outbound Transport delivery. They share configuration but have separate processes, caches and permissions.

State/control	Meaning	Verification
Windows service started/stopped	Whether the service process is running	Windows service state and process existence
Velox service enabled/disabled	Whether Velox processing is enabled in General Setup/runtime	Designer service status plus absence/presence of new processing
Flow/module active/inactive	Whether that configuration is eligible for runtime managers/use	Module state and manager synchronisation/log evidence
Designer open/closed	Interactive process only	Does not prove background services are healthy

Designer communicates with Velox Service through a connection/environment-specific IPC name. View Processes, enable/disable and start/stop/restart actions depend on elevation or configured Service Users plus Windows rights.

After a module or Flow change, verify the owning service has resynchronised it. The core Velox Service implements relevant change/enable/disable operations, but live behaviour remains type-specific; restart gracefully when the concrete guide requires it.
