 - **Focus on benefits** - explain what the user gains, not how it works internally
 - **Use concrete examples** - "text boxes become regular text" vs "form fields are flattened"
 - **Answer user questions** - "What does this do?", "When should I use this?", "What's this option for?"
 - **Keep descriptions concise** - 1-2 sentences maximum per section
 - **Use bullet points** for multiple benefits or features
 
-## 6. Migration from Thymeleaf
-When migrating existing Thymeleaf templates:
-
-1. **Identify Form Parameters**: Look at the original `<form>` inputs to determine parameter structure
-2. **Extract Translation Keys**: Find `#{key.name}` references and add them to JSON translations (For many tools these translations will already exist but some parts will be missing)
-3. **Map API Endpoint**: Note the `th:action` URL for the operation hook
-4. **Preserve Functionality**: Ensure all original form behaviour is replicated which is applicable to V2 react UI

   - **Web Server**: `npm run build` then serve dist/ folder
   - **Development**: `npm run tauri-dev` for desktop dev mode
 
+#### Import Paths - CRITICAL
+**ALWAYS use `@app/*` for imports.** Do not use `@core/*` or `@proprietary/*` unless explicitly wrapping/extending a lower layer implementation.
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ CORRECT - Use @app/* for all imports
+import { AppLayout } from "@app/components/AppLayout";
+import { useFileContext } from "@app/contexts/FileContext";
+import { FileContext } from "@app/contexts/FileContext";
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Do not use @core/* or @proprietary/* in normal code
+import { AppLayout } from "@core/components/AppLayout";
+import { useFileContext } from "@proprietary/contexts/FileContext";
+```
+
+**Only use explicit aliases when:**
+- Building layer-specific override that wraps a lower layer's component
+- Example: `import { AppProviders as CoreAppProviders } from "@core/components/AppProviders"` when creating proprietary/AppProviders.tsx that extends the core version
+
+The `@app/*` alias automatically resolves to the correct layer based on build target (core/proprietary/desktop) and handles the fallback cascade.
+
+#### Component Override Pattern (Stub/Shadow)
+Use this pattern for desktop-specific or proprietary-specific features WITHOUT runtime checks or conditionals.
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Core defines stub component (returns null or no-op)
+2. Desktop/proprietary overrides with same path/name
+3. Core imports via `@app/*` - higher layer "shadows" core in those builds
+4. No `@ts-ignore`, no `isTauri()` checks, no runtime conditionals!
+
+**Example - Desktop-specific footer:**
+
+```typescript
+// core/components/rightRail/RightRailFooterExtensions.tsx (stub)
+interface RightRailFooterExtensionsProps {
+  className?: string;
+}
+
+export function RightRailFooterExtensions(_props: RightRailFooterExtensionsProps) {
+  return null; // Stub - does nothing in web builds
+}
+```
+
+```typescript
+// desktop/components/rightRail/RightRailFooterExtensions.tsx (real implementation)
+import { Box } from '@mantine/core';
+import { BackendHealthIndicator } from '@app/components/BackendHealthIndicator';
+
+interface RightRailFooterExtensionsProps {
+  className?: string;
+}
+
+export function RightRailFooterExtensions({ className }: RightRailFooterExtensionsProps) {
+  return (
+    <Box className={className}>
+      <BackendHealthIndicator />
+    </Box>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+```typescript
+// core/components/shared/RightRail.tsx (usage - works in ALL builds)
+import { RightRailFooterExtensions } from '@app/components/rightRail/RightRailFooterExtensions';
+
+export function RightRail() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {/* In web builds: renders nothing (stub returns null) */}
+      {/* In desktop builds: renders BackendHealthIndicator */}
+      <RightRailFooterExtensions className="right-rail-footer" />
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Build resolution:**
+- **Core build**: `@app/*` → `core/*` → Gets stub (returns null)
+- **Desktop build**: `@app/*` → `desktop/*` → Gets real implementation (shadows core)
+
+**Benefits:**
+- No runtime checks or feature flags
+- Type-safe across all builds
+- Clean, readable code
+- Build-time optimization (dead code elimination)

-### Legacy Reference: Overview of Thymeleaf
-
-Thymeleaf is a server-side Java HTML template engine. It is used in Stirling-PDF to render dynamic web pages. Thymeleaf integrates heavily with Spring Boot.
-
-### Thymeleaf overview
-
-In Stirling-PDF, Thymeleaf is used to create HTML templates that are rendered on the server side. These templates are located in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/resources/templates` directory. Thymeleaf templates use a combination of HTML and special Thymeleaf attributes to dynamically generate content.
-
-Some examples of this are:
-
-```html
-<th:block th:insert="~{fragments/navbar.html :: navbar}"></th:block>
-```
-or
-```html
-<th:block th:insert="~{fragments/footer.html :: footer}"></th:block>
-```
-
-Where it uses the `th:block`, `th:` indicating it's a special Thymeleaf element to be used server-side in generating the HTML, and block being the actual element type.
-In this case, we are inserting the `navbar` entry within the `fragments/navbar.html` fragment into the `th:block` element.
-
-They can be more complex, such as:
-
-```html
-<th:block th:insert="~{fragments/common :: head(title=#{pageExtracter.title}, header=#{pageExtracter.header})}"></th:block>
-```
-
-Which is the same as above but passes the parameters title and header into the fragment `common.html` to be used in its HTML generation.
-
-Thymeleaf can also be used to loop through objects or pass things from the Java side into the HTML side.
-
-```java
- @GetMapping
-       public String newFeaturePage(Model model) {
-           model.addAttribute("exampleData", exampleData);
-           return "new-feature";
-       }
-```
-
-In the above example, if exampleData is a list of plain java objects of class Person and within it, you had id, name, age, etc. You can reference it like so
-
-```html
-<tbody>
-   <!-- Use th:each to iterate over the list -->
-   <tr th:each="person : ${exampleData}">
-       <td th:text="${person.id}"></td>
-       <td th:text="${person.name}"></td>
-       <td th:text="${person.age}"></td>
-       <td th:text="${person.email}"></td>
-   </tr>
-</tbody>
-```
-
-This would generate n entries of tr for each person in exampleData

-### Adding a New Feature to the Frontend (UI)
-
-1. **Create a New Thymeleaf Template:**
-   - Create a new HTML file in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/resources/templates` directory.
-   - Use Thymeleaf attributes to dynamically generate content.
-   - Use `extract-page.html` as a base example for the HTML template, which is useful to ensure importing of the general layout, navbar, and footer.

-   ```
-
-2. **Create a New Controller for the UI:**
-   - Create a new Java class in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/controller/ui` directory.
-   - Annotate the class with `@Controller` and `@RequestMapping` to define the UI endpoint.
-
-   ```java
-   package stirling.software.SPDF.controller.ui;
-
-   import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
-   import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
-   import org.springframework.ui.Model;
-   import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
-   import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
-   import stirling.software.SPDF.service.NewFeatureService;
-
-   @Controller
-   @RequestMapping("/new-feature")
-   public class NewFeatureUIController {
-
-       @Autowired
-       private NewFeatureService newFeatureService;
-
-       @GetMapping
-       public String newFeaturePage(Model model) {
-           model.addAttribute("newFeatureData", newFeatureService.getNewFeatureData());
-           return "new-feature";
-       }
-   }
-   ```
-
-3. **Update the Navigation Bar:**
-   - Add a link to the new feature page in the navigation bar.
-   - Update the `stirling-pdf/src/main/resources/templates/fragments/navbar.html` file.
-
-   ```html
-   <li class="nav-item">
-       <a class="nav-link" th:href="@{'/new-feature'}">New Feature</a>
-   </li>

 ## Adding New Translations to Existing Language Files in Stirling-PDF
 
 When adding a new feature or modifying existing ones in Stirling-PDF, you'll need to add new translation entries to the existing language files. Here's a step-by-step guide:
@@ -696,15 +548,4 @@ pdfSplitter.input.pages=Enter page numbers to split
 
 Add these entries to the default GB language file and any others you wish, translating the values as appropriate for each language.
 
-### 3. Use Translations in Thymeleaf Templates
-
-In your Thymeleaf templates, use the `#{key}` syntax to reference the new translations:
-
-```html
-<h1 th:text="#{pdfSplitter.title}">PDF Splitter</h1>
-<p th:text="#{pdfSplitter.description}">Split your PDF into multiple documents</p>
-<input type="text" th:placeholder="#{pdfSplitter.input.pages}">
-<button th:text="#{pdfSplitter.button.split}">Split PDF</button>
-```
-
 Remember, never hard-code text in your templates or Java code. Always use translation keys to ensure proper localization.
