 // MARK: - Main Element Finding Orchestration
 
+/// Provides sophisticated UI element search capabilities using accessibility APIs.
+///
+/// `ElementSearch` implements advanced search algorithms for finding UI elements
+/// based on various criteria including text content, element type, attributes,
+/// and hierarchical paths. It supports both exhaustive searches and optimized
+/// path-based navigation.
+///
+/// ## Overview
+///
+/// The search system:
+/// - Supports multiple search criteria with flexible matching
+/// - Optimizes searches using path hints when available
+/// - Handles complex element hierarchies efficiently
+/// - Provides timeout protection for long searches
+/// - Supports fuzzy text matching and attribute-based filtering
+///
+/// ## Topics
+///
+/// ### Primary Search Function
+///
+/// - ``findTargetElement(for:locator:maxDepthForSearch:)``
+///
+/// ### Search Types
+///
+/// - ``Locator`` - Combines search criteria with path hints
+/// - ``SearchCriterion`` - Individual search conditions
+/// - ``PathStep`` - Navigation steps for path-based search
+///
+/// ### Helper Functions
+///
+/// - ``collectAllUIElements(_:maxDepth:)``
+/// - ``findElementByCriteria(startingFrom:criteria:depth:)``

+/// Manages accessibility observers for monitoring UI element changes.
+///
+/// `AXObserverManager` provides a centralized system for managing accessibility observers
+/// that monitor changes to UI elements. It handles observer lifecycle, notification routing,
+/// and ensures proper cleanup of resources.
+///
+/// ## Overview
+///
+/// The manager:
+/// - Creates and manages AXObserver instances for monitoring UI elements
+/// - Routes notifications to appropriate callbacks
+/// - Handles observer lifecycle and cleanup
+/// - Provides thread-safe observer management
+///
+/// This is a singleton class that should be accessed via ``shared``.
+///
+/// ## Topics
+///
+/// ### Getting the Shared Instance
+///
+/// - ``shared``
+///
+/// ### Managing Observers
+///
+/// - ``addObserver(for:notification:callback:)``
+/// - ``removeObserver(for:notification:)``
+/// - ``removeAllObservers(for:)``
+///
+/// ### Types
+///
+/// - ``AXNotificationCallback``

-// Scanner class from Scanner
+/// A lightweight string scanning utility for parsing text.
+///
+/// `Scanner` provides efficient character-by-character scanning of strings with
+/// support for character sets, string literals, and pattern matching. It maintains
+/// a current position and allows for forward scanning operations.
+///
+/// ## Overview
+///
+/// The scanner:
+/// - Maintains a current position in the string
+/// - Supports scanning based on character sets
+/// - Can scan for specific strings or patterns
+/// - Provides utilities for identifier parsing
+/// - Allows peeking at upcoming characters without advancing
+///
+/// This is an internal utility class used by AXorcist for parsing various string formats.
+///
+/// ## Topics
+///
+/// ### Creating a Scanner
+///
+/// - ``init(string:)``
+///
+/// ### Scanner State
+///
+/// - ``string``
+/// - ``location``
+/// - ``isAtEnd``
+/// - ``remainingString``
+///
+/// ### Character Set Scanning
+///
+/// - ``scanUpToCharacters(in:)``
+/// - ``scanCharacters(from:)``
+///
+/// ### String Scanning
+///
+/// - ``scanString(_:)``
+/// - ``scanUpToString(_:)``
+///
+/// ### Character Sets
+///
+/// - ``identifierFirstCharSet``
+/// - ``identifierFollowingCharSet``
