-Description for this addon
+Server-side SQF module for storefront entities, catalog hydration, and checkout
+coordination.
+
+## Stores and Services
+
+- `StorefrontStore` builds storefront hydrate payloads, validates checkout
+  requests, calls the Rust `store:checkout` backend, syncs UI patches, and saves
+  hot state for related modules.
+- `StoreCatalogService` scans live Arma config categories, builds catalog
+  responses, resolves checkout entries, and calculates authoritative prices.
+
+## Editor Entities
+
+`fnc_initStore` marks editor-placed store objects with `isStore = true`. It
+matches non-null mission namespace objects whose variable names contain
+`store`, mirroring the garage entity initialization pattern.

+## Server SQF Module
+
+The server addon uses two long-lived module objects:
+
+- `StorefrontStore` is the storefront workflow facade. It builds hydrate
+  payloads, validates checkout requests, calls the Rust `store:checkout`
+  command, syncs UI patches, and asks related module stores to save hot state.
+- `StoreCatalogService` scans configured item and vehicle categories, builds
+  catalog responses, resolves checkout entries, and calculates authoritative
+  prices.
+
+Editor-placed store entities are initialized by `fnc_initStore` during store
+post-init. The initializer matches non-null mission namespace objects whose
+variable names contain `store` and sets `isStore = true`, following the same
+pattern used by garage entities.
+
 ## Checkout Model
 
 `store:checkout` accepts one JSON context.
