Notes for Contributors

• keep device definitions and provider mappings in catalog
• keep user-facing flows in feature
• keep OTA parsing / extraction logic in ota and arb
• move code into core only when it is genuinely shared
• treat the root landing page as a separate web asset, not part of the Android runtime
