# shared (frontend)

Cross-domain utilities and UI primitives. Any file here is consumed by two or more domain folders and has no domain identity of its own.

## Admission criteria (what belongs here)

A file belongs in `shared/` if it meets **all three** conditions:

1. No domain identity — it does not represent a `Document`, `Person`, `Tag`, etc.
2. Consumed by ≥ 2 domain folders — or is framework infrastructure that every domain depends on.
3. Generic — could work in a different SvelteKit project with zero business-logic changes.

If any condition fails, the file belongs in the domain folder of its primary consumer.

## What does NOT belong here

- Components owned by one domain — move to that domain's folder.
- Domain-specific business logic — even if shared, it belongs in the owning domain's public surface.

## Adding to shared/

If you need to add a file here, confirm it meets all three admission criteria. If it's domain-adjacent, check whether the owning domain should export it as part of its public surface instead.
