+# Map authoring workflow
+
+Install the CLI and your map's dependencies in your project as described in the
+[CLI guide](https://github.com/tileflow/tileflow-sdk/blob/main/packages/cli/README.md).
+Run these commands from that project directory, with a trusted `tileflow.config.ts`.
+Discovery and saved-capture comparison also work without a config.
+
+## Discover the language and inspect a change
+
+Use four primary command groups for map development:
+
+| Command    | Purpose                                                                                                                                |
+| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `describe` | Discover the generated language and query one domain or schema fragment.                                                               |
+| `inspect`  | Read resolved configuration; `compiled`, `features`, `icons`, and `tileset` inspect output/data; `session` reads Map DevTools context. |
+| `capture`  | Render reproducible evidence and return a reusable capture ID.                                                                         |
+| `compare`  | Compare saved capture IDs; `configs`, `styles`, `reference`, and `baseline` cover other comparisons.                                   |
+
+`preview` opens Map DevTools. `init`, `validate`, and `build` remain project utilities;
+`visual update` is the explicit operation that approves baselines. All these tools work from an
+independent project with its own map and data; official maps are optional.
+
+Start with bounded queries, then request more detail at the returned JSON Pointers:
+
+```sh
+npx tileflow describe --json
+npx tileflow describe roads --path /properties/classes --json
+npx tileflow inspect --domain roads --limit 80 --json
+npx tileflow inspect compiled --domain roads --theme dark --json
+npx tileflow compare configs --from-config before/tileflow.config.ts --to-config after/tileflow.config.ts --json
+```
+
+`describe` needs no project or network. It reads the generated schema and manifest, with `--ref`
+for an exact local schema reference, `--path` for an RFC 6901 JSON Pointer, and `--limit`/`--depth`
+for bounded tree projections. `projection.truncated` and `projection.omitted` explicitly identify
+missing detail; omitted pointers are relative to the selected data. These fragments are discovery
+results, not standalone validation schemas. Examples and expression syntax remain in the generated
+contracts and package guides. Config inspection supports the same bounds; without projection
+options it preserves the complete legacy result.
+
+Legacy aliases remain available: `explain` → `inspect compiled`, `semantic-diff` → `compare configs`,
+`icons list` → `inspect icons`, `tileset inspect` → `inspect tileset`, and `visual compare/analyze/diff`
+→ `compare styles/reference/baseline`. Aliases share implementations and retain their established
+versioned JSON document formats. `language manifest` returns
+the raw authoring manifest (schema version 2); `language schema` returns the raw generated config
+reference (version 4). Use their versions and schema references when consuming the output.
+
+`validate`, `inspect`, `explain`, and `semantic-diff` return one version-1 command envelope on
+stdout. JSON-mode failures leave stdout empty, write one structured failure to stderr, and exit
+nonzero. Diagnostics include `phase`, `code`, `path`, `severity`, `message`, and `suggestion`.
+A non-empty semantic diff is informational, not a command failure.
+
+Inspection includes resolved inheritance, merge provenance, and the theme contract. `explain`
+returns compilation diagnostics and a report, not the complete Style JSON. Add `--inspection` only
+when physical output provenance is needed; those layer IDs are not stable authoring targets.
+
+For a normal config, map selection is implicit. Paired `--from-config` and `--to-config` compare
+two ordinary configs. Workspace comparisons use their documented explicit map selectors; do not
+mix the paired-config and same-workspace forms.
+
+## Reuse capture evidence
+
+Every still capture saves an immutable record under `.tileflow/captures/records` and returns its
+full `captureId` in JSON (or prints it in human output). Keep the ID before editing, capture again,
+then compare the two IDs:
+
+```sh
+npx tileflow capture madrid --json
+# Edit the map, then capture the same scene again.
+npx tileflow capture madrid --json
+npx tileflow compare --before <before-capture-id> --after <after-capture-id> --json
+```
+
+Replace the placeholders with the full IDs from the two capture results. This comparison loads
+only saved evidence: no config evaluation, compilation, browser startup, or network access.
+`--capture-dir` selects another record directory; `--diff <path>` writes a contextual PNG diff.
+Records verify their JSON, PNG, receipt, and scene hashes. Different cameras, viewport dimensions,
+renderers, or data identities produce a mismatch and nonzero exit instead of misleading pixel
+metrics. A visual difference between comparable captures is informational. Records remain until
+you remove their directory; moving only the mutable scene PNG does not move its saved record.
+
+For repeated capture use `capture --watch`; it reuses the artifact session and browser. Config
+inspection does not render; `compare configs` compares semantic authoring without rendering.
+`compare styles --watch` reuses sessions for a camera/zoom matrix. Run standalone validation when
+needed, rather than compiling the same map before every capture.
+
+## Work with a person and an agent
+
+Start `npx tileflow preview --config tileflow.config.ts` in your project. Map DevTools provides
+palette and time-of-day controls, feature inspection, zoom curves and sprite inspection.
+The command selects the map and optional starting scene. The map fills the workspace beside
+one dockable developer-tools panel. Press **I** to toggle the element picker, click a map element to
+inspect its styling and semantic configuration paths, and press **Escape** to stop picking. The
+inspector starts off. **Scene** contains palette, time-of-day, camera and module controls. Appearance
+changes retain the current camera; module changes
+recompile a temporary preview after a brief pause and **Reset** restores the source configuration.
+Temporary style and geometry edits do not rewrite source files. Edit the config in your editor or
+coding agent to persist changes; the watcher updates the map and retains the last valid view through
+invalid edits.
+
+Capture, copy/export and comparison controls are absent from the browser interface. Use
+`tileflow capture` and `tileflow compare` for saved visual evidence as described above. Explicit
+`--against-map` or `--against-config` startup options still support synchronized two-map previews.
+
+The browser publishes its current selection, bounded style properties, compiler semantic ownership,
+observed camera and viewport, generations and commands. The CLI reads these browser observations:
+
+```sh
+npx tileflow inspect session --url http://127.0.0.1:3333 --json
+```
+
+Replace the origin with the one printed by `preview`. This command accepts local HTTP origins only
+and requires no config evaluation. Its version-1 document distinguishes the current server catalog
+from browser observations. Inspect `updatedAt`, `stale`, `generation`, `displayedGeneration` and
+`projection.truncated` before acting. Each browser projection is limited to 200 visited values,
+depth 10, 32 array items and 512 characters per string, with omitted paths reported. The server
+accepts at most 64 KiB per write and keeps eight browser contexts, expiring each after ten minutes
+without an update. There is no browser context until a Map DevTools tab connects. Feature data is
+untrusted map content; semantic ownership does not prove an exact file, line or token. Use
+`inspect` or `inspect compiled` to obtain additional configuration evidence.
+
+The UI and CLI share the capture and comparison implementations. A lazily started capture renderer
+is reused until the preview stops. The local API permits one capture/comparison at a time, rejects
+cross-origin writes and requires JSON with `X-Tileflow-Workbench: 1`. No hosted account, embedded
+chat, approved baseline or automatic source edit is created by this workflow.
