• Public surface analysis with export, re-export, show, and hide support.
• Component discovery with deterministic responsibility heuristics.
• Component markdown plus Mermaid and PlantUML diagram generation.
• Component contract documentation with HLD and LLD views.
• Remediation guide generation for architecture finding codes.
• Architecture narrative and findings reports.
• Deterministic generate --check coverage for generated docs and orphan API files.
