Research direction

Start by mapping the repository's components and the boundaries between them; the issue does not name specific files, entry points, or tests. Define the shared data model and cross-component API contracts, including mocked APIs for cases where real APIs are unavailable. Done means parallel implementation can proceed against agreed real and mock interfaces.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Design and implement the data model and all cross-component APIs to allow parallel implementation.
Allow for creating mocked APIs for testing and implementation when real APIs are not ready yet.
