Document the mock API module boundaries and consumer contract #390

Description

@Lakes41

Difficulty

Intermediate

Type

documentation, consistency, structure

Background

The current dependency chain from components/nav.tsx through lib/api/index.ts into lib/api/mock.ts makes the mock API an important application dependency. The parser failure demonstrates the impact of changes to this module.

Problem

Without explicit module-boundary documentation, contributors working on the large mock API can unintentionally change exports or create dependencies that affect unrelated application components.

Expected outcome

Document the intended responsibilities and consumer-facing contract of the mock API modules.

Suggested implementation

Add concise documentation near the API module or in the repository's existing developer documentation location. Document which modules contain fixtures, which expose behavior, and which exports are intended for application consumers. Base the documentation strictly on the resulting implementation rather than creating speculative architecture.

Acceptance criteria

  • The documentation identifies the public mock API boundary.
  • Fixture and behavior responsibilities are clearly described.
  • The relationship between lib/api/index.ts and internal mock modules is documented.
  • Documentation matches the actual implementation.

Likely affected files/directories

  • lib/api/
  • Existing developer documentation directory, if present
