⚙️ Architecture

Deep dive into how Vue Router Citadel works internally.

🗄️ Registry Structure

The citadel maintains a registry with separate maps for global and route outposts. Sorted arrays are pre-computed on every deployOutpost / abandonOutpost for efficient navigation processing.

Optimization: Sorting happens at deploy/abandon time, not during navigation. This ensures navigation remains fast regardless of the number of outposts.
