How .alab, JSON and Mermaid relate
.alab is the format to write: it is what the syntax reference documents, what share links carry, and what reads cleanly in a code review. .archlab.json is the same C4 model on disk — the interchange form any other tool can read without implementing a grammar; the two are lossless twins in both directions (proved on every build), so you never have to write the JSON by hand. Mermaid is read and written too, lossily — the format toggle above the pane converts in place and states what each direction drops. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
