## What it is
A Swift library providing foundational tools for state management and navigation across Apple platforms (SwiftUI, UIKit, AppKit) and non-Apple platforms (Windows, Linux, Wasm). It offers observation and two-way binding primitives that underpin more advanced navigation libraries like UIKitNavigation and SwiftUINavigation.

## Use cases
- drive SwiftUI navigation from enum state with compile-time guarantees
- observe model changes minimally in UIKit and AppKit
- create two-way bindings between UI components and observable models
- manage stack-based navigation with type-erased paths
- build cross-platform Swift apps with shared navigation logic
- model sheets, alerts, and drill-down navigation from a single enum

## When to choose
- you build Swift apps on Apple platforms and want enum-driven, type-safe navigation
- you need UIKit/AppKit observation and binding tools compatible with SwiftUI patterns
- you target non-Apple platforms (Windows, Linux, Wasm) with Swift and need navigation primitives
- you use or build on Point-Free libraries like SwiftUINavigation or the Composable Architecture

## When to avoid
- your app is not written in Swift
- you only need basic SwiftUI navigation and are happy with built-in APIs
- you want a full-featured architecture framework rather than low-level navigation primitives
- you need navigation tooling for non-Swift mobile platforms like Kotlin or Flutter
