+- Строки — **UTF-8**, с префиксом длины 1 байт (макс. 255 байт).
+- Формат не использует сжатие — данные хранятся как есть.

+## Правила валидации
+
+1. Сигнатура — строго `MININT` (6 байт ASCII).
+2. Версия — строго `1` (неизвестные версии отклоняются).
+3. Width, Height >= 1; максимум 65 536.
+4. DocumentCount >= 1.
+5. PaletteCount >= 1.
+6. Каждый индекс пикселя < PaletteCount.
+7. IsVisible — только 0 или 1.
+8. Зарезервированные байты — допускаются ненулевые (forward compatibility).
+9. Неожиданный конец файла — ошибка с описанием контекста.

+# Minint
+
+> Растровый редактор с собственным бинарным форматом `.minint`, поддержкой слоёв, анимации и палитровых эффектов.
+
+## Что это
+
+Desktop-приложение для создания и редактирования пиксельной графики. Изображения хранятся в собственном бинарном формате с палитровой моделью, где каждый документ (кадр) содержит свою палитру RGBA и набор слоёв. Контейнер объединяет несколько документов для анимации.
+
+## Возможности
+
+- **Собственный формат `.minint`** — самописная бинарная сериализация с валидацией, переменным размером индексов палитры (1–4 байта)
+- **Слои** — добавление, удаление, переименование, порядок, видимость, прозрачность, дублирование
+- **Документы/кадры** — несколько документов в одном контейнере, каждый со своей палитрой
+- **Инструменты** — кисть, ластик (с регулируемым радиусом), заливка (flood fill), выделение + копирование/вставка
+- **Холст** — pan (среднее колёсико / touchpad), zoom (Ctrl+колёсико), nearest-neighbor масштабирование, пиксельная сетка
+- **Эффекты** — контрастность (A1), перевод в градации серого (A2) — применяются через палитру
+- **Копирование фрагмента (A4)** — визуальное выделение на холсте, плавающая вставка с поддержкой смены документа/слоя
+- **Генерация узоров (Б4)** — шахматка, градиент, полосы, концентрические круги, плитка
+- **Анимация** — проигрывание документов как кадров с настраиваемым delay
+- **Экспорт** — BMP (32-bit BGRA, самописный), GIF (анимированный, LZW, самописный)
+
+## Стек
+
+| Компонент | Технология |
+|-----------|------------|
+| Язык | C# / .NET 10 |
+| UI | Avalonia 11.3.8 |
+| MVVM | CommunityToolkit.Mvvm 8.2.1 |
+| Тесты | xUnit |
+| Сериализация | Полностью самописная (бинарная) |
+| Экспорт BMP/GIF | Полностью самописный |
+
+## Структура проекта
+
+```
+Minint.slnx
+├── Minint.Core/          — Доменные модели, интерфейсы сервисов, чистая логика
+├── Minint.Infrastructure/ — Сериализация .minint, экспорт BMP/GIF
+├── Minint/                — Avalonia UI приложение
+└── Minint.Tests/          — Unit-тесты (xUnit)
+```
+
+Core не зависит ни от каких внешних пакетов. Infrastructure зависит только от Core. UI зависит от Core + Infrastructure + Avalonia.
+
+## Требования
+
+- [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) или новее
+
+## Сборка и запуск
+
+```bash
+dotnet build
+dotnet run --project Minint
+```
+
+## Тесты
+
+```bash
+dotnet test
+```
+
+37 тестов покрывают: сериализацию (round-trip), композитинг, инструменты рисования, flood fill, эффекты (контраст, grayscale), генерацию паттернов, копирование фрагмента, экспорт BMP/GIF.
+
+## Управление
+
+| Действие | Управление |
+|----------|------------|
+| Зум | Ctrl + колёсико мыши |
+| Перемещение (pan) | Среднее колёсико / touchpad scroll |
+| Рисование | Левая кнопка мыши |
+| Пиксельная сетка | Ctrl+G или View > Pixel Grid |
+| Копирование фрагмента | Select tool → выделить → Ctrl+C → Ctrl+V → кликнуть для фиксации |
+| Отмена вставки | Escape |
+| Новый файл | Ctrl+N |
+| Открыть | Ctrl+O |
+| Сохранить | Ctrl+S |
+
+## Формат `.minint`
+
+Подробная спецификация формата — в файле [`FORMAT.md`](FORMAT.md).
+
+Ключевые свойства:
+- Little-endian
+- Сигнатура `MININT`, версия формата
+- Палитра RGBA на документ, индексы переменной ширины (1–4 байта)
+- Полная валидация при чтении
+
+## Ограничения
+
+- **Undo/Redo** не реализовано (архитектура не запрещает добавление)
+- **Размер контейнера** — все документы имеют одинаковые размеры (width × height на уровне контейнера)
+- **GIF квантизация** — простая popularity-based (до 256 цветов), может терять оттенки
+- **Максимальный размер** — 65536 × 65536 пикселей (ограничение формата)
+- Имена документов/слоёв — максимум 255 UTF-8 байт
