## Architecture Map

| Layer | Location |
|-------|----------|
| UI Components | `src/components`, `src/features` |
| Global Providers | `src/layout` |
| Zustand Stores | `src/store` |
| Client Services | `src/services/` |
| REST API | `src/app/(backend)/webapi` |
| tRPC Routers | `src/server/routers/{async\|lambda\|mobile\|tools}` |
| Server Services | `src/server/services` (can access DB) |
| Server Modules | `src/server/modules` (no DB access) |
| Feature Flags | `src/server/featureFlags` |
| Global Config | `src/server/globalConfig` |
| DB Schema | `packages/database/src/schemas` |
| DB Model | `packages/database/src/models` |
| DB Repository | `packages/database/src/repositories` |
| Third-party | `src/libs` (analytics, oidc, etc.) |
| Builtin Tools | `src/tools`, `packages/builtin-tool-*` |
| Cloud-only | `src/business/*`, `packages/business/*` |

## Data Flow

```
React UI → Store Actions → Client Service → TRPC Lambda → Server Services → DB Model → PostgreSQL
