  2. Project Overview for the system summary, funding flow, campaign lifecycle, and code map.
  3. Workflows for the pledge state machine, storage model, and Worker route behavior.
  4. Developer Notes for stack-specific implementation details, content model guidance, and gotchas.
  5. Agents & Operator Guide for the safest way to make repo changes without drifting site, Worker, checkout, or localized behavior out of sync.
