The compose process is usually the same each time (unless a change is made to kickstarts or comps or pungi-fedora or any one of several other inputs to the process in the meantime). An .n.1 compose is simply the second nightly compose run on a given day (in UTC time). One compose of Rawhide and one compose of Branched, when it exists - that is F32, at present - are scripted to run each day, and that happens unless another compose of the same type is running when the script fires (you can't have two Rawhide or two Branched composes running at the same time). If for any reason we decide to manually run another compose the same day - say that first compose fails and we figure out why and fix it and don't want to wait till the next day for the next compose to run, or there's a significant change we want to include in a compose right away for some reason, or something - then that will be a .n.1 compose. If we have to run a third, that will be .n.2, and so on. The rules for compose IDs etc. are set by the productmd project: https://github.com/release-engineering/productmd formally the 'n' is a 'compose type suffix' indicating that the 'compose type' for this compose is 'nightly'; the digit in question that comes after the compose type suffix is called the 'respin'.
