This section reflects the **actual project on disk today**. Empty folders that have been reserved for upcoming work are marked `(planned)`; everything else has at least one file in it. Aspirational additions for the rest of the game are listed in §4c at the bottom.

### Per-feature folder layout
### 4b. Conventions visible in current code
Every feature follows the same internal shape:
- **Asmdef per Service / Lib / App / Core.** No Feature asmdefs yet (folder is empty).
- **Core sub-tree shape:** `Core/{Compatibility, Contracts, Data, Enums}` — deeply nested by Service rather than by topic. Game-specific Core types (Drawing, Coloring, Paper, Gallery, History, Progression, Signals) will be added under either `Core/Contracts/<Area>/` or new top-level `Core/<Area>/` — pick one convention before adding the first one.
- **Service sub-shape varies** — some are flat (`Services/Audio/*.cs`), some split (`Services/Camera/Installers/`, `Services/Camera/Service/`). The "official" per-feature shape (§4d) hasn't been validated against real code yet.
- **Installer pattern:** `MonoBehaviour, IServiceModule` with `Register(IContainerBuilder builder)`. **Not**`IInstaller.Install(...)` as older sections of this doc imply. New installers must follow `IServiceModule`.
- **No `AppBoot`** entry point exists yet. `RootLifetimeScope` only iterates a serialized `MonoBehaviour[] serviceModules` and calls `Register` on each `IServiceModule`. Boot sequence in §29 is aspirational.
- **No Persistence service.** `Libs/PlayerPrefs` (the `ProtectedPlayerPrefs` library) is in place for small-key state. JSON persistence for gallery sidecars will need a separate service when Gallery lands.
- **Camera service is a registry**, not a fitter. `ICameraService.Register/Get` only — no aspect-fit logic.
### 4c. Planned additions (not on disk yet)
All new game code follows the same nesting pattern as existing Services — `Contracts/Features/<Name>/`, `Data/{Dynamic,Static}/Features/<Name>/`, `Features/<Name>/` — and asmdefs drop the `Darkmatter.` prefix to match `Core`, `Services.Audio`, `Libs.Observer`.
Rough landing order for ColorBook scene to be playable:
| Path | Role |
|---|---|
| `Core/Contracts/Features/Paper/IPaperRig.cs`, `IArtInputBridge.cs` | Paper rig contracts |
| `Core/Contracts/Services/Capture/ICaptureService.cs` | Capture service contract |
| `Core/Contracts/Services/Gallery/IGalleryService.cs` | Gallery service contract |
Look at `Services/Camera/` (`Installers/` + `Service/`) and `Services/Analytics/` (`Installers/` + `Systems/`) — that's the convention. Features adopt the same shape, adding `UI/` or `Views/` only when there's something to put in them.
Only `Boot.unity` exists today; the three scene scope classes haven't been written yet either (only `RootLifetimeScope` exists in [App/LifetimeScopes/](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/App/LifetimeScopes/)).
Scopes nest: `Root → (MainMenu | ColorBook | ArtBook)`. Services resolved from the root parent. Scene scopes only register their own features.

## 20. Assembly Definition Map
## 20. Assembly Definition Map
Every folder under `Code/` is its own `.asmdef`. References follow the layer rules exactly.
Every Lib / Service / Feature is its own `.asmdef`. The `Darkmatter.` prefix is **only** on the App asmdef; everything else uses bare `<Layer>.<Module>` names. References follow the layer rules.
### On disk today

|---|---|---|
|---|---|---|
| `Darkmatter.App` | `App/` | All Features, all Services, Core, Libs |
| `Darkmatter.App` | `App/` | All Services, Libs, Core (Features when they land) |
**Hard rule:** No Service asmdef references any Feature asmdef. No Feature asmdef references another Feature asmdef. Compiler enforces the architecture.
All scopes use the same pattern: a serialized `MonoBehaviour[]` list of `IServiceModule` installers. Each installer is a MonoBehaviour on a child GameObject of the scope. Scope iterates and calls `Register`. **No hardcoded registrations in the scope itself.** This is exactly what [RootLifetimeScope.cs](Assets/Darkmatter/Code/App/LifetimeScopes/RootLifetimeScope.cs) already does today.
### `RootLifetimeScope` (Boot scene, persists forever) — actual code
### `ColorBookLifetimeScope` (per-scene, child of Root)
The inspector lists the installer MonoBehaviours in `serviceModules[]`. Drag the children of the Boot scope GameObject (e.g. `AudioServiceModule`, `CameraServiceModule`, `InputServiceModule`, `AssetProviderServiceModule`, `AnalyticsServiceModule`, `SceneServiceModule`) into that slot. Each is a `MonoBehaviour, IServiceModule`.
### `ColorBookLifetimeScope` (per-scene, child of Root) — same pattern
Drag the scene's installer MonoBehaviours into `sceneModules[]`:
-`DrawingCatalogServiceModule`
-`PaperRigModule`
-`ShapeBuilderServiceModule`
-`DrawingCatalogModule`
-`ColoringServiceModule`
-`ShapeBuilderModule`
-`HistoryServiceModule`
-`ColoringModule`
-`CaptureFeatureModule`
-`HistoryModule`
-`ProgressionServiceModule`
-`CaptureModule`
-`ProgressionModule`
-`ColorBookFlowModule`
Each registers its own classes via `IServiceModule.Register(IContainerBuilder)`.
> If a scope needs a non-installer reference (e.g. a `ColorBookSceneRefs` MB holding camera + roots), expose it as a separate `[SerializeField]` and `builder.RegisterInstance(...)` it inside the scope's `Configure`. Don't put scene refs inside an installer — keep installers stateless across scenes.
