🏛️ Instant Ship™ System Architecture (V4.6)

Core Philosophy: "The ID is the Truth, the Path is a Pointer."

---

1. Permanent Resource ID (PRID)

Instant Ship™ implements ID-First Addressing. Unlike traditional static sites where the file path determines the URL, we decouple the asset identity from its location.

• PRID: Defined in Markdown Frontmatter (e.g., id: project-plan).
• Resilience: If the file is moved or renamed (e.g., plan.md -> roadmap.md), internal links using the PRID remain valid.
• Authority: The Loader queries the Registry for the ID, not the string content of the URL.

2. The Tri-Pillar Ecosystem

(Google AI Studio + Lovable + Cloudflare) ... [Section content remains same]

3. DB-BRA (Database-Backed Routing Authority)

To solve the "Sandbox Paradox" (where URL segments are mangled by proxies), our routers run a Registry Resolution process:

1. Extraction: The terminal segment of the current location is treated as a Candidate ID.
2. Resolution: The Candidate is matched against the Registry's id and slug fields.
3. Hydration: The record belonging to that ID is retrieved from the pre-indexed in-memory cache.
