Design Notes¶

These notes preserve technical design context that is useful for maintainers and operators. They are not the quick path for using kata; start with the guide and operations pages first.

The design notes may discuss trade-offs, implementation history, and low-level constraints that are too detailed for the main documentation.

Available notes¶

• Architecture and design principles
• Data model and durability
• Federation technical notes
• Hosted mode technical notes

These notes are the curated home for kata's design rationale. Earlier planning specs and implementation plans were folded into them once the work shipped; the superseded drafts remain in version control rather than on the published site.
