A folder with main.archify at its top is a model, a set of diagrams
that belong together. Opening main.archify shows the model page: the
model's name and description, its own overview diagram when the file
has one, the diagrams grouped by folder (click to open), and the
registry with where each element is used. The page is built by
traversing the folder tree and refreshes when files change.
*.archify-registry files define shared elements once; diagrams draw
them with `ref: <id>` plus position and may override label, sublabel
and tag. References are resolved before Archify runs, so Archify is
unchanged. Hover, go-to-definition and completion on ref; unknown
names, forbidden overrides, duplicate ids and broken registries in
Problems; registry edits re-render open diagrams. `diagram:` links on
elements and components open the linked diagram on double-click.
New command Archify | Open Model, a Model template for New Diagram…,
editor schemas for the new keys and for registries, docs/model.md and
examples/online-shop. Single diagrams behave exactly as before.
- .archify content is YAML (JSON still accepted); converted to JSON for the renderer
- Archify Diagram custom editor is the default for *.archify; Show Source opens the YAML beside it
- YAML syntax errors and validation problems mapped to YAML lines
- yamlValidation for schema completion with redhat.vscode-yaml
- scripts/to-yaml.mjs converts existing .archify files
.archify files are Archify JSON diagram sources. They open as JSON,
preview with the same commands, report validation problems, and get
completion from a schema that dispatches on diagram_type. Adds a
hello.archify example and tests for detection, the dispatching schema
and the VS Code behaviour.

VS Code extension that previews Archify diagrams from their JSON sources
(live, as you type) and opens rendered Archify HTML in a viewer tab.
Bundles the Archify 3.0.1 renderer and runs it on VS Code's Node runtime.
Adds validation diagnostics, JSON schema help, source-link navigation,
export saving, render-to-file and open-in-browser commands.
