FDS // TECHNOLOGY MAP

Technology in context

A stack matters because of what it enables. This map separates what is foundational today, what is active infrastructure, what is research, and what FDS has evaluated and moved past — so "used" never quietly becomes "current".

Where the technology is used

SystemTechnologies / areasWhy they are there
CodeForgeTypeScript, Node.js, Electron, React, SQLite, Git, VS Code, model/provider APIsRepository intelligence, autonomous task execution, desktop/CLI/editor surfaces, and free-first model routing.
ForgerEMSC#, .NET, WPF, Windows APIs, PowerShell, USB and hardware interfacesTechnician diagnostics, drive validation, USB tooling, system information, and local-first assistance.

Research and historical entries are not presented as current infrastructure, and planned integrations are not treated as current support.
