# Architecture and Contribution Guide
## Internal System Design and Development Workflows

The ResponsiveTable component is engineered using an **Atomized Architecture**. This design principle decouples logic orchestration from presentation units to ensure high reusability and predictable state transitions.

### Architectural Layers
The system is partitioned into three distinct functional layers:
1.  **Logic Orchestration (`useTablePlugins`)**: A centralized hook that manages the data processing pipeline, plugin lifecycle, and persistent state management using non-reactive references.
2.  **Pure Presentation Components**:
    *   `DesktopView`: Manages standard tabular rendering and intelligent footer scaling logic.
    *   `MobileView`: Manages card-based interface generation.
    *   `SkeletonView`: Unified structural placeholder logic.
3.  **Shell Orchestrators**:
    *   `ResponsiveTable`: The primary entry point for all datasets, including async via `dataSource`.

### Development Environment Initialization
To initialize the development environment, execute the following procedures:
1.  Clone the source repository.
2.  Install required dependencies: `npm install`
3.  Initialize the visual development environment: `npm run storybook`
4.  Execute the validation suite: `npm test`

### Technical Command Reference
*   `npm run build`: Generates production-ready distribution bundles via Rollup.
*   `npm run lint`: Performs static analysis to ensure adherence to architectural standards.
*   `npm test`: Executes the Jest-based unit and integration test suites.
*   `npm run storybook`: Launches the component isolation and visual testing environment.
