### How to use this documentation

This GitBook is organized to support different audiences:

* New readers should begin with Introduction and Core principles to understand system intent and design philosophy.
* Technical reviewers should review System overview, Edge pipeline, and Interfaces to understand architectural boundaries.
* Security and operations stakeholders should review Reliability & degradation, Monitoring, and Security model.

This documentation is conceptual and intentionally abstracted. Deployment-specific details vary by environment.
