 The dependency direction is strict: `@nakednous/tree` never imports from the bridge or the DOM layer. This is what lets the same `PoseTrack` that drives a camera path also animate any object — headless, server-side, or in a future renderer.
 
+Source is organised into four focused modules:
+
+```
+form.js  — you have specs, you want a matrix
+query.js — you have a matrix, you want information
+quat.js  — quaternion algebra and mat4/mat3 conversions
+track.js — spline math and keyframe animation state machines

-Note: both matrix forms default `up` to `[0,1,0]`. The matrix col1 (up_ortho) is intentionally not used — it differs from the hint for upright cameras and would shift orbitControl's orbit reference. Use `capturePose()` (p5.tree bridge) when the real up hint is needed.
+For matrix-based capture use `PoseTrack.add({ mMatrix: eMatrix })` for full-fidelity TRS including roll, or `cam.capturePose()` (p5.tree bridge) for lookat-style capture.
 
 `fov` and `halfHeight` are lerped between keyframes only when both adjacent keyframes carry a non-null value for that field. Mixed or null entries pass `null` through — the bridge leaves the projection unchanged.
