 ## Repository Structure
 - `extension/`: Chrome Extension (Manifest V3, Vanilla JS).
 - `server/`: Node.js + Socket.IO Relay Server (Containerized).
-- `website/`: Static marketing landing page & tutorials.
-- `shared/`: Shared protocol constants.
+- `website/`: Marketing landing page & **Invitation Bridge**.
+- `shared/`: Protocol constants and domain blacklist.
+- `scripts/`: Development utilities for protocol synchronization.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> For deep technical dives, see [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) and [SYNC_GUIDE.md](SYNC_GUIDE.md).
 
 ## Key Features
 - **Global Synchronization**: Synchronize Play, Pause, and Seeking on any website with a `<video>` tag.
+- **Smart Matching**: Automatically highlights and sorts tabs containing matching video titles.
+- **Noise Filtering**: Built-in domain blacklist to hide non-video sites from selection.
 - **Smart Identity**: Customizable usernames combined with unique hexadecimal peer IDs.
 - **Dual Heartbeat Architecture**: Robust session tracking that prevents ghost rooms and stale connections.
 - **Zero-Latency Relay**: Custom Socket.IO wire protocol implementation for maximum performance.

 You MUST run the synchronization script in any of the following scenarios:

+This directory is a **MIRROR** of the root `/shared` folder.
+
+**DO NOT edit these files directly.** Any changes made here will be overwritten the next time the synchronization script is run.
+
+### Proper Workflow:
+1.  **Edit** the source files in the root `[repo_root]/shared/` directory.
+2.  **Run** the synchronization script:
+    -   **Windows**: `[repo_root]\scripts\sync-constants.bat`
+    -   **Linux/macOS**: `[repo_root]/scripts/sync-constants.sh`
+3.  **Verify** that the changes have propagated to this folder.
+
+Failure to follow this protocol will result in out-of-sync components and broken protocol logic.
