# noyalib external positioning **Scope.** Everything the project says about itself in public — READMEs, release notes, MIGRATION-FROM-*.md, COMPARISON.md, BENCHMARKS.md, blog posts, papers, tweets, conference talks. Load before touching any of that surface. For internal docs (USER-GUIDE, ARCHITECTURE, POLICIES) load `noyalib-docs-and-writing`. For unproven / speculative directions load `noyalib-research-frontier`. **Snapshot date: 2026-07-08.** The ecosystem below drifts.

Ground truth (read before making a claim) - `doc/COMPARISON.md` — the ecosystem matrix. Cell states dated **2026-05** in-file; re-check crates.io + each repo before publication. - `doc/BENCHMARKS.md` — headline speedups, methodology, hardware disclosure (Apple M4, aarch64-apple-darwin, Rust 1.95 stable, criterion `--warm-up-time 2 --measurement-time 4`, `--release` LTO=fat cgu=1 panic=abort). Reproducible via `cargo bench --bench comparison`. - `README.md` — user-facing top-of-funnel claims; the "One-minute migration" table lists every peer we court. - `doc/MIGRATION-FROM-*.md` — per-crate function tables (serde_yaml
