This directory is the maintained entry point for developers and reviewers. It routes a task to the narrowest durable owner without duplicating the implementation that already lives in source and tests.
| Need | Entry |
|---|---|
| Find the subsystem that owns a change | Architecture and repository map |
| Build, test, format, or launch Shadow | Development guide |
| Change an interactive adjustment or preview/render path | Interactive editing pipeline contract |
| Change a persistent or wire contract | Contract versioning |
| Run the local Library Server | Library Server operations |
| Inspect repository-wide engineering constraints | Project Skeleton |
| Review a change | Review Skeleton |
| Coordinate work in the shared checkout | Agent instructions |
Documentation is intentionally layered:
- The root Project Skeleton supplies durable boundaries and routes to a concern.
- The root README introduces the product and the shortest working entry points.
- This page routes developers to architecture, development, contract, and operations documents.
- The repository map routes a change to one subsystem.
- A component README or entry module routes the change to its semantic owner.
- Source, schemas, build registration, and adjacent tests define current behavior.
Do not turn this directory into an exhaustive mirror of the codebase. A cross-cutting policy or operator workflow belongs here only when it has an independent audience and lifecycle. Feature status, call-by-call mechanics, and implementation inventories stay with their source owners.
