cargo doc --no-deps

Notes for Ralph (Self-Execution)

1. Follow TDD religiously: Write the failing test first. Watch it fail. Then implement.
2. One task at a time: Complete and commit each phase before starting the next.
3. Run quality gates before committing: All gates must pass.
4. Update this plan: Mark checkboxes as you complete requirements.
5. If blocked: Document the blocker, mark task as blocked, move to next task.
6. Commit messages: Use conventional commits (feat:, fix:, refactor:, test:, docs:).
7. No dead code: Remove any commented-out code or unused functions.
8. No TODOs in committed code: Either do it now or create a task for later.

Completion Criteria

This plan is complete when:

1. All checkboxes are marked
2. All quality gates pass
3. Documentation is updated
4. CHANGELOG.md reflects all changes
