# Source Catalog

## Identified primary sources

| ID | Source and edition | State | Prepared input |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| SRC-0001 | Ryan Carniato, [The Grand Unifying Architecture of Frontend](https://dev.to/playfulprogramming/the-grand-unifying-architecture-of-frontend-bhk); web edition accessed 2026-09-24; displayed Sep 22, year unverified | queued; identity checked, bounded passages prepared | [Authority and feedback packet](../bench/infospaces/carniato-authority-01/artifacts/sources/source.md) |
| SRC-0002 | Martin Kleppmann, Adam Wiggins, Peter van Hardenberg, Mark McGranaghan, [Local-first software](https://www.inkandswitch.com/essay/local-first/); April 2019 web essay; DOI 10.1145/3359591.3359737; accessed 2026-09-24 | queued; identity checked, bounded passage prepared | [Local authority packet](../bench/infospaces/local-first-authority-01/artifacts/sources/source.md) |

Queued does not mean reviewed. Bibliography and hashes live in each workspace's
source artifact and manifest. [Preparation review](../reviews/SchemaAndSourcePreparation.md)
records selection, provenance limits and remaining work. Claim IDs will resolve
inside completed source reviews; preparation packets do not establish a pattern.

## Source families to investigate

| Family | Representative sources | Research purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern languages | Christopher Alexander, Hillside/PLoP literature | Pattern form, relations, generative sequences |
| GUI architecture | Martin Fowler, MVC/MVP/Presentation Model | Presentation/domain/state separation |
| Unidirectional state | Flux, Redux, Elm | State transition and dependency direction |
| Hypermedia | REST, HTML forms, HTMX | Navigation, mutation, server projection |
| Rendering | web.dev, framework docs, Patterns.dev | CSR/SSR/SSG/hydration/islands/streaming |
| Local-first | Ink & Switch and related work | Local authority, sync, conflict handling |
| Distributed state | CRDT/event sourcing/sync literature | Reconciliation and replication |
| Modularity | Feature-Sliced Design | Feature boundaries and dependency rules |
| Organizational architecture | Microfrontend literature | Independent ownership/deployment |
| Quality | WCAG, progressive enhancement, web performance | Cross-cutting architectural forces |

## Catalog policy

Each source should eventually capture:

- source identity,
- date/version,
- scope,
- vocabulary used,
- candidate patterns,
- dominant forces,
- assumptions,
- contradictions,
- known implementations,
- evidence quality.
