 //!
-//! This module extends the workspace database trait with template-specific
+//! This module implements the incremental computation infrastructure for Django templates
-//! functionality including parsing and diagnostic generation.
+//! using Salsa. It extends the workspace database with template-specific functionality
+//! including parsing, validation, and diagnostic accumulation.
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! The module uses Salsa's incremental computation framework to:
+//! - Cache parsed ASTs and only reparse when files change
+//! - Accumulate diagnostics during parsing and validation
+//! - Provide efficient workspace-wide diagnostic collection
+//!
+//! ## Key Components
+//!
+//! - [`Db`]: Database trait extending the workspace database
+//! - [`analyze_template`]: Main entry point for template analysis
+//! - [`TemplateDiagnostic`]: Accumulator for collecting LSP diagnostics
+//!
+//! ## Incremental Computation
+//!
+//! When a template file changes:
+//! 1. Salsa invalidates the cached AST for that file
+//! 2. Next access to `analyze_template` triggers reparse
+//! 3. Diagnostics are accumulated during parse/validation
+//! 4. Other files remain cached unless they also changed
+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! // Analyze a template and get its AST
+//! let ast = analyze_template(db, file);
+//!
+//! // Retrieve accumulated diagnostics
+//! let diagnostics = analyze_template::accumulated::<TemplateDiagnostic>(db, file);
+//!
+//! // Get diagnostics for all workspace files
+//! for file in workspace.files() {
+//!     let _ = analyze_template(db, file); // Trigger analysis
+//!     let diags = analyze_template::accumulated::<TemplateDiagnostic>(db, file);
+//!     // Process diagnostics...
+//! }
+//! ```

+//! Django template parsing, validation, and diagnostics.
+//!
+//! This crate provides comprehensive support for Django template files including:
+//! - Lexical analysis and tokenization
+//! - Parsing into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
+//! - Validation using configurable tag specifications
+//! - LSP diagnostic generation with Salsa integration
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! The system uses a multi-stage pipeline:
+//!
+//! 1. **Lexing**: Template text is tokenized into Django constructs (tags, variables, text)
+//! 2. **Parsing**: Tokens are parsed into a structured AST
+//! 3. **Validation**: The AST is validated using the visitor pattern
+//! 4. **Diagnostics**: Errors are converted to LSP diagnostics via Salsa accumulators
+//!
+//! ## Key Components
+//!
+//! - [`ast`]: AST node definitions and visitor pattern implementation
+//! - [`db`]: Salsa database integration for incremental computation
+//! - [`validation`]: Validation rules using the visitor pattern
+//! - [`tagspecs`]: Django tag specifications for validation
+//!
+//! ## Adding New Validation Rules
+//!
+//! 1. Add the error variant to [`TemplateError`]
+//! 2. Implement the check in the validation module
+//! 3. Add corresponding tests
+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! // For LSP integration with Salsa (primary usage):
+//! use djls_templates::db::{analyze_template, TemplateDiagnostic};
+//!
+//! let ast = analyze_template(db, file);
+//! let diagnostics = analyze_template::accumulated::<TemplateDiagnostic>(db, file);
+//!
+//! // For direct parsing (testing/debugging):
+//! use djls_templates::{Lexer, Parser};
+//!
+//! let tokens = Lexer::new(source).tokenize()?;
+//! let mut parser = Parser::new(tokens);
+//! let (ast, errors) = parser.parse()?;
+//! ```

+//! Django template validation.
+//!
+//! This module implements comprehensive validation for Django templates,
+//! checking for proper tag matching, argument counts, and structural correctness.
+//!
+//! ## Validation Rules
+//!
+//! The validator checks for:
+//! - Unclosed block tags (e.g., `{% if %}` without `{% endif %}`)
+//! - Mismatched tag pairs (e.g., `{% if %}...{% endfor %}`)
+//! - Orphaned intermediate tags (e.g., `{% else %}` without `{% if %}`)
+//! - Invalid argument counts based on tag specifications
+//! - Unmatched block names (e.g., `{% block content %}...{% endblock footer %}`)
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! The `TagValidator` follows the same pattern as the Parser and Lexer,
+//! maintaining minimal state and walking through the AST to accumulate errors.
