+The note-c architecture documentation is maintained with the repository so
+module boundaries, public contracts, runtime flow, and update triggers stay
+visible as the SDK evolves.

+Open the `interactive architecture map`_ for the visual graph, or inspect the
+`structured architecture data`_ used to generate the map.
