+- Rendering layer services: `src/engine/rendering/index.js`
+- Input services: `src/engine/input/index.js`

+- ECS/runtime systems helpers: `src/engine/systems/index.js`

+## Public Contract Baseline
+- Domain imports should target each domain `index.js` as the public home.
+- Internals remain implementation detail unless explicitly exported by the domain index.
+- `src/engine/core/index.js` exposes the combined baseline service cluster for:
+  - timing/frame services (`FrameClock`, `FixedTicker`)
+  - event routing (`EventBus`)
+  - camera integration (`Camera2D`, `followCameraTarget`, `worldRectToScreen`, `updateZoneCamera`)

-1. Locate the two items:
-- repo structure work is now constrained to exact move-map BUILDs only
-- remaining structure normalization should avoid broad folder churn until active shared extraction and promotion-gate work stabilize
+Goal:
+Reduce PR count by grouping the engine-core baseline work into one coherent normalization pass.
 
-2. Convert them:
-- remove checkbox markers
-- move to top of roadmap under rules section
+Required work:
+1. Establish and normalize the engine-core boundaries/public homes for:
+   - core bootstrapping
+   - scene
+   - rendering
+   - input
+   - physics
+   - audio
+   - systems

-- change wording
-- delete content
+2. Treat these as one combined service cluster where practical:
+   - timing/frame services
+   - event routing
+   - camera integration
 
-4. Ensure:
-- checklist contains only tasks
-- rules are clearly separated
+3. Define/document only the necessary engine-level contracts and public boundaries needed to support the baseline pass.

+# BUILD_PR_LEVEL_02_ENGINE_CORE_BASELINE_AND_BOUNDARY_PASS
+
+## Purpose
+Complete the first combined Section-2 baseline pass with one coherent engine-core boundary normalization slice.
+
+## What was implemented
+
+### 1) Engine-core baseline boundary surface
+- Added `src/engine/core/index.js` as the core public home for:
+  - engine boot (`Engine`)
+  - timing/frame services (`FrameClock`, `FixedTicker`, `RuntimeMetrics`)
+  - event routing integration (`EventBus`)
+  - camera integration (`Camera2D`, `followCameraTarget`, `worldRectToScreen`, `updateZoneCamera`)
+
+### 2) Engine-level contracts + public boundary documentation
+- Updated `docs/architecture/engine-api-boundary.md` with:
+  - explicit Section-2 baseline public homes for `core`, `scene`, `rendering`, `input`, `physics`, `audio`, `systems`
+  - practical public-contract rules for domain `index.js` boundaries
+  - explicit combined service cluster contract (timing/frame + events + camera)
+- Updated `src/engine/README.md` to reflect normalized boundaries:
+  - `scene/` (not `scenes/`)
+  - `rendering/` (not `render/`)
+  - removed stale `vector/` key-area reference
+  - clarified core bootstrap policy via `core/index.js`
+
+### 3) Focused boundary validation coverage
+- Added `tests/core/EngineCoreBoundaryBaseline.test.mjs` to validate:
+  - Section-2 domain public homes are importable and expose expected contracts
+  - combined service cluster behavior for timing/frame, event routing, and camera integration
+
+## Section-2 closure status
+- Closed in this PR:
+  - core bootstrapping normalized
+  - scene management normalized
+  - rendering layer normalized
+  - input layer normalized
+  - physics layer normalized
+  - audio layer normalized
+  - systems layer normalized
+  - engine-level contracts documented
+  - engine public boundaries clarified
+  - timing/frame services stabilized
+  - event routing stabilized
+  - camera integration stabilized
+- Remaining residue:
+  - none identified in Section-2 checklist after this pass
+
+## Roadmap handling
+- Updated Section-2 status markers only in `docs/dev/roadmaps/MASTER_ROADMAP_HIGH_LEVEL.md`.
+- No roadmap prose rewrites were performed.
+
+## Validation run
+- `node --check src/engine/core/index.js`
+- `node --check tests/core/EngineCoreBoundaryBaseline.test.mjs`
+- `node --input-type=module -e "import { run } from './tests/core/EngineCoreBoundaryBaseline.test.mjs'; run();"`
