Developer documentation

This section is for contributors, add-on authors, and anyone evaluating or changing MonStim's source code. It explains the current architecture and the contracts that changes must preserve. It is separate from the normal application help.

Start here

• Contributing — local setup, code boundaries, and a change checklist.
• Architecture — packages, ownership, persistence, and UI flow.
• Testing — focused and full validation commands.

Stateful systems

• Commands and undo — command contracts and tests.
• Annotation data versions — safe schema migrations.
• Application settings — QSettings keys, migrations, and recovery.

Documentation, settings, and releases

• Documentation maintenance — topic layout, link rules, and packaged help.
• Publishing releases — procedure for authorized project maintainers.

For normal application use, return to the Help Library.
