+# Central
+
+Central is the data hub spine for the infrastructure. Adapters normalize upstream sources into a canonical event shape, publish CloudEvents to NATS/JetStream, and archive to TimescaleDB for historical query. Single-LXC deployment.
+
+## Status
+
+Phase 0 — scaffold. Not yet operational.
+
+## Architecture
+
+- Python 3.12 (uv-managed)
+- NATS + JetStream for live event bus
+- TimescaleDB + PostGIS for archive and geospatial query
+- One supervisor process managing adapter lifecycle
+- One archive consumer process persisting events to TimescaleDB
+- Both processes systemd-managed
+
+## License
+
+MIT. See LICENSE.
