# ConfigKit Integration

Notarius uses the public root package
[`gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ConfigKit`](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ConfigKit)
at v0.4.1 for version 5 configuration acquisition, imports, overlays, explicit
overrides, diagnostics, and safe inspection rendering.

Notarius owns the typed document, domain defaults and validation, runtime
conversion, catalog-dependent pipeline resolution, source-aware configured
paths, and command discovery. It uses only ConfigKit's public path, result,
diagnostic, and resolution-source APIs. Upstream documentation owns general
ConfigKit semantics; [Configuration](../config.md) owns Notarius's file and
operator contract.

The v0.4.1 patch changes licensing documentation, not configuration behavior
or the public API. See the canonical [ConfigKit attribution](../oss/attribution.md#configkit)
for its license and notices.
