1. [Feature Concepts](#section-1-feature-concepts)
2. [Entity Index](#section-2-entity-index)

## Executive Summary

This document provides a structured mapping between product-level concepts, their documentation, and their implementation in both the Swift iOS layer and the Haskell core library. All source paths are relative to `apps/ios/` for Swift and use `../../src/` prefix for Haskell files (relative to `apps/ios/`).
