Use this section to build the mental model before choosing implementation details. Architecture explains the layer boundaries; the product model explains how reusable pieces fit together.

The durable distinction is simple: portable build and render contracts belong to Foundry Core and the site repository. Accounts, permissions, approvals, provider credentials, and managed operations belong to Foundry Control.
