I thought that was it but I also saw them referring to coping that comes out over the edge of the pool as Cantilever. Is it more clear to say Cantilever with no coping?

My understanding is that a cantilever deck has no coping and hangs over the edge of the pool. We'll see if others have a better definition.

The tile slabs are you coping.
It is cantilevered if it is suspended above the bond beam and does not touch the pool structure.

This crack is concerning as it indicates something is shifting.
Is that top a skimmer or an autofill?

that is a skimmer. I believe that was caused by a leak. You cant really tell from this picture but right by the floater the concreted deck is separated by about 1/2" from the pool. There was a leak near the small stone steps behind the fountain and the previous owners never did anything about it and the dirt under the concrete got so saturated it began to sink. It that sinking/twisting over there is probably what caused that crack.
