Getting started — installation, quick start, and common tasks
Core API and Types — enumerated methods/arguments/returns and public types
Configuration & update() — options, baseline, time units, version/notice policy
Time & timezones — wall time ↔ epoch helpers, DST behavior
Rule descriptions — plain‑language text (translators, options, examples)
React — hooks, staged vs compiled, debouncing
Algorithms — deep dive into coverage, segments, and bounds
JSON Schema — validating config with an OpenAPI‑safe schema
