// Albucore star-exported API (__all__), routers vs albucore.functions shims, and dependents such as Albumentations. Use when changing exports, documenting API, or deciding what belongs in package __all__.
Running Albucore micro-benchmarks under benchmarks/, synthetic router timings, and comparing PyPI releases with uv --no-project. Use when adding benchmarks, comparing performance across versions, or documenting benchmark workflow.
Albucore image processing conventions - shapes (H,W,C), dtypes (uint8/float32), benchmark-driven backend routing (OpenCV, NumPy, LUT, NumKong), tests, and lockfile discipline. Use when implementing or modifying albucore modules, writing tests, or reviewing image-processing code.

from albucore import * follows albucore/__init__.py, which merges __all__ from functions, decorators, geometric, and utils, plus metadata.
Routers live in albucore/functions.py __all__, re-exported from arithmetic, lut, normalize, convert, ops_misc, and stats.
Use docs/public-api.md for router classification and explicit from albucore.functions import ... shims such as *_opencv, *_numpy, NumKong helpers, and LUT plumbing.
If Albumentations or another downstream package imports a symbol, it must be either:
__all__ for star-import compatibility, oralbucore.functions.Example: sz_lut and apply_uint8_lut are public routers on __all__ and are implemented in albucore/lut.py.
arithmetic.py, lut.py, geometric.py, etc.).from submodule import * in functions.py exposes the name.functions.__all__, sorted or grouped with peers.docs/public-api.md if classification changes.
