currentTargets

currentTargets is a term used across different domains to refer to the set of targets that are presently active or relevant within a system. There is no universal definition; its exact meaning depends on the context. In software and data processing, currentTargets often denotes a collection, such as a list or set, of objects that represent destinations, endpoints, or goals that subsequent operations will act upon. The variable may be updated by user input, configuration, or automated rules, and is typically used to drive loops, dispatch calls, or routing decisions.

In deployment, monitoring, or automation pipelines, currentTargets can refer to the hosts, services, or resources currently selected for an action, such as deployment, health checks, or data collection. In robotics or computer vision, it may denote the objects the system is currently tracking or attempting to interact with.

In machine learning or data labeling workflows, current target labels can be used for supervised learning steps or evaluation tasks during a batch.

Good practice is to document the semantics of currentTargets within a codebase or project, including what constitutes a target, how targets are added or removed, and how the collection is initialized and synchronized in concurrent environments. Naming conventions, such as camelCase, reflect programming language norms but are not universal.
