+All BREADS-compatible Loaves, auto-generated from each repo's `loaf.yaml` manifest.
+
+A **Loaf** is the attachment and interconnect layer that lets Slices operate together as
+one BREAD. A `backplane` provides Slice attachment; a `controller` provides the controller
+interface and chains onto a backplane, with no Slice slots of its own.
