- * What the C4 board's automatic legend can say — a TABLE, and nothing else: the
- * scan, the placement and the box are `createAutoLegend`'s job, shared with the
- * three DDD boards.
- *
- * Every row is DERIVED twice over: its WORDING from the role vocabulary's own
- * `labelFallback` ({@link roleLabel}), and its COLOUR from the very palette the
- * creation site paints with ({@link NODE_PALETTE}). Neither is restated here, so
- * renaming a role renames its legend row and restyling the pack restyles its
- * swatches — which is what keeps a legend a description of the board rather than
- * a second opinion about it.
- *
- * ## Why `exact` on the container, and only there
- *
- * `c4:database` specialises `c4:container`, so an inclusive entry on the parent
- * would put a "Container" row — with the container's blue square — on a board
- * carrying nothing but cylinders. The row would name a shape that is nowhere on
- * the diagram. EDGY's four base kinds hit this first and `AutoLegendEntry.exact`
- * exists for it: base and specialisation become two separate statements, each
- * listed when it is the thing the user actually drew.
- *
- * The other four element roles are childless, so `exact` would change nothing
- * for them and is left off — the flag marks the places where the distinction is
- * real.
- *
- * ## What is missing, and why
- *
- * `mobile` and `browser` get no row of their own: they carry `c4:container`,
- * because a phone app and a single-page app are containers with a picture
- * (`roles.ts`). Detection is by role and only by role, so a board of nothing but
- * mobile apps lists "Container" — which is the honest answer about what the
- * boxes MEAN. `person-ext` and `system-ext` collapse the same way onto person
- * and system, for the same reason: the grey says "out of scope", not "a
- * different sort of thing".
