 ### Configuration
 - `textureConfig` - Texture configuration system
 
+### Star (`entangled-worlds-orbiters-shared/star`)
+- `createStar`, `StarManager` - The host star of a world: single, binary or trinary, emissive, shader-only glow (two draw calls for any multiplicity; lights nothing)
+- `DEFAULT_STAR_PARAMS`, `normalizeStarParams` - Author params (temperature, radius, luminosity, activity, multiplicity, separation, seed, placement) + validator for stored params
+- `starParamsFromStellarData` - Catalogue host-star data (Teff, radius, mass, luminosity, spectral type, star count or a "(AB)b" name suffix) → params
+- `blackbodyColor`, `spectralClass`, `starLayout`, `starPositions` - Pure colour / layout / orbit helpers
+- `getFocus` (on `createStar` / `StarManager`), `framingDistance`, `defaultStarPlacement` - Camera focus on the system barycentre and host-camera-aware placement
+- The star lights the scene: `StarManager` key + camera-side fill lights, `setLighting`, `lightingFromLegacy`, `DEFAULT_AMBIENT` (pair with `setHemisphereEnabled(scene, false)` from `./core`; moons `emissiveLift`, GLB `emissiveIntensity` for night sides)
+- Real binaries (close pair from component masses, a distant companion for wide pairs) and an optional debris disc; `mainSequenceTemperature` / `Radius` / `Luminosity` helpers
+- Perf + look harness: `npm run bench:star` (see `bench/star/results/REPORT.md`)
+
 ### Capabilities (`entangled-worlds-orbiters-shared/capabilities`)
 - `createCapabilityRegistry` - Validated, named registry of studio actions (query / mutation / generative)
 - `validate`, `assertValid` - JSON-Schema-subset validator used for capability inputs
