Visual Context

Algorithm pages define deterministic platform-neutral behavior that downstream repos implement behind native adapters.

Reading Checklist

Question	Where to look
What is deterministic?	Read the pseudocode branch table and preconditions.
What blocks unsafe behavior?	Look for blocked, ambiguous, policy, or precondition paths.
How is the decision reconstructable?	Trace diagnostic and audit requirements.

JSON Path - Superseded

This legacy dot-path helper is superseded by json_pointer_operations.pseudo.md.

Normative Aeostara JSON addressing uses JSON Pointer-compatible operations, preserves missing versus null, supports object keys containing dots, supports arrays, and requires mutation preconditions.
