+  multiplicities, composition, aggregation and navigable ends, generalization, realization and dependency; laid out by
+  itself, pinned where you pin it. Edited on the canvas (members as one line of UML text, a palette, a relationship
+  picker), each gesture an `edit` event the host applies with `apply()`; checked by the class diagram's rules; read from
+  and written to Mermaid's `classDiagram` ([`examples/sales-classes.json`](examples/sales-classes.json),
+  [what it covers](docs/conformance/uml-class.md)).
 - **Export**: any view as a stand-alone SVG or PNG, in the browser or from the CLI; the whole map as one PDF to hand in
