# Developer Guide
> **Status:** Scaffold only. Architecture and contributor pages are not migrated yet.
This book is the canonical home for architecture, package and application guides, local development, testing, contribution workflow, and integration authoring. User-facing procedures belong in [`USER-GUIDE/`](../USER-GUIDE/); operator procedures belong in [`ADMIN-GUIDE/`](../ADMIN-GUIDE/); API contracts belong in [`API/`](../API/).
## Start here
- [Documentation atlas](../README.md) — placement rules and source-of-truth boundaries.
- [Architecture index](architecture/README.md) — current architecture chapter scaffold.
- [Documentation audit](../reports/documentation/2026-08-10-docs-catalog-audit.md) — evidence-based migration inventory.
- [Product requirements](../PRD.md) — normative requirements, currently marked draft.
## Chapter map
| Chapter | Scope | Status |
| ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| [`architecture/`](architecture/README.md) | System model, components, data flow, security model, ADRs, and RFCs. | Scaffold only. |
| `packages/` | Package- and application-level contracts and guides. | Scaffold only. |
| `local-development/` | Safe local setup and development routes. | Scaffold only. |
| `testing/` | Test strategy, verification, and quality gates. | Scaffold only. |
| `contributing/` | Contribution, review, and delivery workflow. | Scaffold only. |
| `integrations/` | Plugin, provider, and adapter authoring. | Scaffold only. |
Every promoted page must be added to this index and to [`SITEMAP.md`](../SITEMAP.md) in the same migration slice.
## Migration backlog — not current developer guidance
These are source candidates or stale records, not verified current instructions:
- [`PRD-TUI_Improvements.md`](../PRD-TUI_Improvements.md) — contradicted/stale; it references a missing `packages/cli`, while current TUI code is under `packages/mosaic`.
- [`TASKS-TUI_Improvements.md`](../TASKS-TUI_Improvements.md) — historical task ledger; its status and worktree claims require revalidation.
- [`_old_structure/guides/dev-guide.md`](../_old_structure/guides/dev-guide.md) — historical source; verify paths and commands before promotion.
- [`_old_structure/architecture/`](../_old_structure/architecture/) — historical architecture sources; classify each page before migration.
Do not make a legacy or archived page current by linking it from a chapter as if it were already promoted.
## Authoring boundary
New developer documentation belongs under one of the chapter directories above. Architecture decisions and RFCs must identify their status and authority; executable behavior must be checked against current code and tests.
