# Backend Service Docs

This directory keeps service-local documentation that is too detailed for
the workspace-level architecture document and too diagram-heavy for the
module README.

Sections:

- [Runtime and components](runtime.md)
- [Domain and protocol flows](flows.md)
- [Operator runbook](runbook.md)
- [Configuration and contract examples](examples.md)

Primary references:

- [`../README.md`](../README.md) — service scope, contracts,
  configuration, operational behaviour.
- [`../openapi.yaml`](../openapi.yaml) — REST contract.
- [`../PLAN.md`](../PLAN.md) — historical staged build-up; kept for
  archaeology, not as a source of truth.
- [`../../ARCHITECTURE.md`](../../ARCHITECTURE.md) — workspace-level
  architecture.
