Reference

Quick summary

The Reference section defines the meaning and responsibility of each ForgingBlocks component. These pages are precise and definition-oriented — meant to be consulted as needed, not read linearly.

Components:
- Foundation — Core abstractions (Result, Port, Identified, Messages, Specification)
- Domain — Domain modeling (Entity, ValueObject, AggregateRoot, Specification)
- Application — Application layer patterns (UseCase, CommandHandler, RepositoryPort, EventStorePort)
- Infrastructure — Technical adapters and implementations (Repositories, Serializable)
- Presentation — Input/output boundaries
- Testing — Testing reference and guidelines

Dependencies point inward: Infrastructure/Presentation → Application → Domain, all depending on Foundation.
