#Overview

IronShim-rs studies compatibility as a systems problem. The project focuses less on wrapper APIs and more on the behavioral contract that exists between components.

#Why a shim exists

Compatibility work often fails because translation logic is bolted on too late. IronShim-rs treats adaptation boundaries as first-class architecture surfaces.

#Current threads

• environment capability discovery
• host behavior normalization
• failure-oriented interface contracts

#Outcome

The target outcome is a compatibility layer that can be reasoned about, measured, and documented instead of merely tolerated.
