# [DEF:Std:Architecture:Standard]
# @TIER: CRITICAL
# @PURPOSE: Core architectural decisions and service boundaries.
# @LAYER: Infra
# @INVARIANT: ss-tools MUST remain a standalone service (Orchestrator).
# @INVARIANT: Backend: FastAPI, Frontend: SvelteKit.

## 1. ORCHESTRATOR VS INSTANCE
*   **Role:** ss-tools is a "Manager of Managers". It sits ABOVE Superset environments.
*   **Isolation:** Do not integrate directly into Superset as a plugin to maintain multi-environment management capability.
*   **Tech Stack:** 
    *   Backend: Python 3.9+ with FastAPI (Asynchronous logic).
    *   Frontend: SvelteKit + Tailwind CSS (Reactive UX).

## 2. COMPONENT BOUNDARIES
*   **Plugins:** All business logic must be encapsulated in Plugins (`backend/src/plugins/`).
*   **TaskManager:** All long-running operations MUST be handled by the TaskManager.
*   **Security:** Independent RBAC system managed in `auth.db`.

## 3. INTEGRATION STRATEGY
*   **Superset API:** Communication via REST API.
*   **Database:** Local SQLite for metadata (`tasks.db`, `auth.db`, `migrations.db`).
*   **Filesystem:** Local storage for backups and git repositories.
