# Issuer Directory Architecture -- Redirect

> **Moved by Sprint 216 (2026-03-04).** IssuerDirectory is now owned by the Authority domain.

## Current documentation

- **Architecture and schema ownership:** `docs/modules/authority/architecture.md` (sections 21.1--21.4)
- **Source code:** `src/Authority/StellaOps.IssuerDirectory/`
- **Client library:** `src/Authority/__Libraries/StellaOps.IssuerDirectory.Client/`
- **Persistence:** `src/Authority/__Libraries/StellaOps.IssuerDirectory.Persistence/`

## Archived original

- `docs-archived/modules/issuer-directory/architecture.md`

## Runtime identity

The IssuerDirectory service retains its own container, hostname, and endpoints.
Schema isolation from AuthorityDbContext is a deliberate security feature (see ADR in Authority architecture).
