# Architecture

Follow the architecture defined in `SPEC.md`.

Implementation pipeline (Phase 0.8):

Analysis is **read-only** — it never mutates the Canonical Object Model.
Registry resolution is also read-only; the embedded catalog is authoritative for `dtcs:` identifiers.
Standard library entries include structured definitions used during semantic validation.
Plan lowering is **read-only** with respect to the COM — it produces a separate `TransformationPlan` IR.
Plan optimization transforms a validated plan into a semantically equivalent optimized plan.

Future pipeline:

        ▼
Runtime
```

For this crate through Phase 0.8 (`0.8.0`), implement through Diagnostics, Contract Analysis, Registries, starter Standard Libraries, static semantic analysis, transformation plan lowering, and plan optimization.
