Documentation

Public documentation router for the ALIS source tree.

This folder is the public-facing documentation layer for the repository. It focuses on architecture, build and release flow, testing, UI, and text-based data workflows.

Start here if you want a stable public overview before drilling into plugin-level READMEs.

Best Entry Points

• Architecture: architecture/README.md
• Build and release: build/README.md
• Public packaging and verification: build/packaging_guide.md
• Data architecture: data/README.md
• UI router: ui/README.md
• Testing: testing/README.md
• Animation system: animation/README.md
• Scripts and automation: ../scripts/README.md

What These Docs Cover

• architecture and plugin boundaries
• text-first, JSON-driven workflows
• build, validation, and release packaging
• testing strategy and automation
• UI framework, hot reload, and descriptor-driven rendering
• public trust and release verification flow

Public Scope

These docs are selected for the public source mirror.

Intentionally not routed from here:

• private machine setup
• internal CI wiring
• local-only agent instructions
• delivery or infrastructure notes that are not part of the public code tree

Reading Pattern

Use category routers first, then move into the owning plugin README or focused guide.

Examples:

• architecture router -> plugin README
• build router -> workflow or package guide
• UI router -> ProjectUI docs or feature UI plugin README
• data router -> generator or object-definition docs
