## Entities

| Entity | Type | Latent? | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|---------|
| [algorithm/](algorithm/) | Collection | | Algorithm doc instances — computational procedures used during macro expansion |
| [api/](api/) | Collection | | API doc instances — attribute contracts for macro configuration |
| [feature/](feature/) | Collection | | Feature doc instances — user-facing macro capabilities |
| [invariant/](invariant/) | Collection | | Invariant doc instances — hard constraints on supported types |
| [pattern/](pattern/) | Collection | | Pattern doc instances — design patterns implemented or enabled by the macro |
