Docs Information Architecture Overview

Path A — Specification Path (Implementers)

Audience: Protocol implementers, SDK authors, runtime builders Goal: Correct, complete implementation of MPLP

Recommended Order

  1. Architecture — L1–L4 layer model
  2. Core Modules — 10 module specifications
  3. Schemas — JSON Schema contracts
  4. Cross-Cutting Duties
  5. Golden Flows — validation scenarios

Normative Weight: High Change Sensitivity: Protocol-level

Path B — Governance Path (Contributors & Maintainers)

Audience: Project contributors, documentation maintainers, governance committee members Goal: Understand contribution rules, governance policies, and quality standards

Recommended Order

  1. Author Rules — Documentation contribution guidelines
  2. Alignment Index (Coming Soon) — Docs-to-code mapping
  3. Protocol Governance — MPGC policies
  4. Standards Mapping — External standard alignment

Normative Weight: Mixed Change Sensitivity: Governance-level

Path C — Builder Path (SDK & Runtime Users)

Audience: Developers using MPLP libraries and runtimes Goal: Build systems on top of MPLP

Recommended Order

  1. SDK Overview — Package structure
  2. Runtime Concepts — AEL / VSL / PSG
  3. Examples & Recipes — Practical usage
  4. Golden Flows — expected behavior

Normative Weight: Mixed Change Sensitivity: Implementation-level
