+# Native Update AI Knowledge Base
+
+## Metadata
+
+- **Project:** Native Update
+- **Knowledge Base Purpose:** High-context reference set for AI tools, planning, development, QA, legal review, content generation, and portfolio/social reuse
+- **Coverage Goal:** Provide a practical, current map of the product, codebase, docs corpus, routes, forms, users, modules, integrations, and operating assumptions
+- **Reference Date:** 2026-03-16
+- **Last Updated:** 2026-03-16
+- **Update Cadence:** Every 2 weeks minimum while the project is active, plus any time major product or docs changes land
+- **History Policy:** Keep update history in this file and keep only the latest 10 entries
+
+## Folder Purpose
+
+This folder is the canonical high-context AI reference set for the Native Update project. It is meant to answer questions like:
+
+- What does the product do?
+- What features exist now?
+- Which users exist?
+- Which pages, routes, and forms are present?
+- Which services, stores, modules, and native layers exist?
+- What is the recommended backend and data model?
+- Which docs already exist in `/docs` and what do they cover?
+- What legal, marketing, testing, and planning context is already documented?
+
+This folder is intentionally different from the public docs. Public docs explain usage. This knowledge base explains the whole project to an AI system or future collaborator.
+
+## File Map
+
+- `01-system-overview.md`  
+  Product scope, capabilities, platform coverage, user types, URLs, and decision context.
+
+- `02-routes-pages-forms-users.md`  
+  Website routes, dashboard/admin routes, page purposes, major interactions, forms, and access rules.
+
+- `03-tech-stack-modules-services.md`  
+  Repo architecture, package structure, frontend services, stores, plugin modules, CLI commands, native modules, and backend components.
+
+- `04-data-models-integrations.md`  
+  Firestore schema, document purposes, authentication model, Google Drive flow, manifest publishing flow, and system boundaries.
+
+- `05-docs-corpus-inventory.md`  
+  Full inventory of the current `/docs` folder, grouped and described so AI can understand what knowledge already exists.
+
+- `06-operations-testing-legal-content.md`  
+  Testing posture, production/release considerations, legal pages, SEO/content context, and known constraints for planning or messaging.
+
+## Primary Project URLs

+
+## Portfolio Website Description
+
+Native Update is a developer infrastructure product I built for Capacitor applications. It solves one of the biggest operational challenges in hybrid mobile apps: shipping updates safely, quickly, and with less dependency on slow release cycles. The platform combines OTA updates for web assets, native app update guidance, in-app review requests, background update scheduling, release channels, rollback support, security validation, CLI tooling, and a web dashboard. It is designed for teams that want a modern, open-source, security-conscious update workflow across iOS and Android.
+
+## LinkedIn Profile Description
+
+Creator of **Native Update**, an open-source Capacitor update platform for OTA delivery, native app store updates, in-app reviews, secure bundle signing, rollout control, analytics-ready release workflows, and dashboard-driven update management.
+
+## Vision
+
+To make modern mobile update infrastructure accessible, open, secure, and practical for every Capacitor developer, from solo builders to growing product teams.
+
+## Mission
+
+To remove the operational complexity of shipping updates across hybrid mobile apps by providing one unified system for update delivery, release control, app version guidance, review collection, and developer tooling.
+
+## Problem It Solves
+
+Capacitor developers often face a fragmented update workflow:
+
+- OTA updates may require custom infrastructure or expensive third-party services.
+- Native app store updates are handled separately from web asset updates.
+- Review prompts are often implemented as one-off logic without reusable strategy.
+- Security around bundle delivery, signatures, and validation is easy to get wrong.
+- Release teams need rollout control, channels, rollback logic, and visibility into the update process.
+
+Native Update solves this by bringing these concerns into one coordinated product.
+
+## Core Product Value
+
+Native Update delivers value at multiple levels:
+
+- **Speed:** Faster bug fixes and content changes through OTA delivery.
+- **Control:** Better release discipline with channels, staged rollout concepts, and rollback support.
+- **Security:** Stronger trust with signing, checksums, HTTPS enforcement, and validation layers.
+- **Experience:** Smoother app update prompts and in-app review flows.
+- **Productivity:** CLI tools, examples, docs, and a dashboard reduce implementation overhead.
+- **Ownership:** Open-source approach and self-controlled infrastructure options reduce platform lock-in.
