# Stack index

> **This is the router.** An AI working in this stack reads this file first, decides which sections a task needs, and opens only those. Reading everything on every question is the cost this file exists to avoid.
>
> **Maintenance rule:** edit a file → update its `summary:` front matter → update its row here. Same pass, every time. A stale index routes confidently to the wrong place, which is worse than no index at all.

**Company:** `[TBD — company name]`
**Stack owner:** `[TBD — one named person]`
**Last full review:** `[TBD — YYYY-MM-DD]`
