🧭 What's a Field Guide?
Not a wiki, not a static PDF — a choose-your-own-path walkthrough of a real technical build, split by persona so you only see the stops that matter to you.
1Open a guide, then pick a persona — that sets your track.
2Walk stop by stop — short, distilled sections with the full source one tap away.
3Branch anywhere — side paths jump to related stops, then hop back.
4Zoom out with the Grapevine — a map of every stop and how they connect.
