 ## Rendering
 
-Rectangles, borders, and glyphs all reduce to quads. A backend only needs to
-manage textures, draw quad batches, and apply a scissor rect. Rendering
-backends are replaceable, and the SDL3 and OpenGL backend is the default.
+The core never calls a backend. Each frame `rg_render` returns a draw list
+made of texture operations (create, update region, destroy) followed by
+batches of colored and textured quads with scissor rects. A backend is any
+code that consumes that list. The SDL3 and OpenGL backend is the default, and
+the null backend records the list for headless tests. A WASM host can consume
+the list from JavaScript. The shipped backends share a small convenience
+interface, and the core does not depend on it.
+
+## Viewport and scale
+
+All API coordinates are logical pixels. The host calls
+`rg_set_viewport(ctx, w, h, scale)` when the window resizes or the display
+scale changes. A scale change invalidates the glyph atlas and glyphs are
+rasterized again at the new size.

-## Open questions
+## Errors and logging
 
-- Whether texture uploads travel inside the draw list.
-- Viewport and display scale handling.
-- Error reporting and logging.
+Functions that can fail return an `int` status where zero is success and
+negative values are errors. `rg_last_error(ctx)` returns the message for the
+most recent failure on that context. The config carries a log callback, a log
+level, and a userdata pointer. The default callback writes to stderr and the
+default level is trace, so logging is verbose until I lower it. Lua errors
+such as syntax errors and handler failures are logged and never replace the
+live tree, so a broken save during hot reload leaves the last good tree on
+screen.
+
+## Testing
+
+`ctest` runs the smoke tests. The core smoke test installs a counting
+allocator and fails if any bytes are live after `rg_destroy`. Every
+allocation, including Lua's, goes through the context allocator.
