API Reference Strategy
Manual chapters provide narrative and recipes, and now include a dedicated API reference section near the end of the manual.
This separation remains intentional:
- workflow chapters focus on design and usage patterns
- API chapters focus on argument contracts and callable surfaces
Detailed tool-level contracts are sourced from shared generated tool docs to minimize drift.
Reference Boundaries
- This manual focuses on concepts, workflow patterns, and runnable examples.
- This manual now also includes API chapters for non-tool facade/session APIs and tool wrappers.
- Source-of-truth tool contracts remain in shared generated tool docs.
Navigation
- Discovery and execution patterns: Session and Discovery
- Data-object workflows: Working with Rasters, Working with Vectors, Working with Lidar
- Concrete runnable scripts: Script Index
- API-first lookup: API Reference
