+### Documenting Unreleased Features
+
+When documenting a feature that isn't ready for public release, use Hugo's draft mechanism to keep pages out of the production site while still allowing review in deploy previews.
+
+Add `draft: true` to the page's front matter:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: "New Feature"
+type: docs
+draft: true
+---
+```
+
+Draft pages are excluded from production builds but included in Netlify deploy previews (pull request previews). This is controlled by environment-specific config files:
+
+- `docs/config/production.toml` — default Hugo behavior (no drafts)
+- `docs/config/development.toml` — sets `buildDrafts = true`
+
+Netlify sets `HUGO_ENV=production` for the main deploy and `HUGO_ENV=development` for deploy previews, so draft pages automatically appear in PR previews and stay hidden on the live site.
+
+To preview drafts locally:
+
+```bash
+hugo server -D
+```
+
+When the feature is ready to publish, remove `draft: true` from the front matter and add any navigation links (e.g. references from parent `_index.md` pages) in the same commit. Avoid adding `relref` links to draft pages from non-draft pages — Hugo will fail the production build with a broken link error.

 ## Architecture
 
-Porch consists of four main deployable components.
+Porch consists of three main deployable components.
 
-The **Porch Server** is a Kubernetes aggregated apiserver that exposes the PackageRevision and Repository APIs. It includes the Engine (orchestration logic), the Cache (repository content), and Repository Adapters that abstract Git backends.
+The **Porch Server** is a Kubernetes aggregated apiserver that serves the `porch.kpt.dev/v1alpha1` API PackageRevision, PackageRevisionResources, and Package resources. It includes the Engine (orchestration logic), the Cache (repository content), and Repository Adapters that abstract Git backends. As the architecture evolves toward the CRD-based model, the server will remain, and continue to serve PackageRevisionResources (PRR) package file content that can exceed etcd size limits and provides the v1alpha1 API for existing PackageRevisionResources (PRR) clients.
 
 The **Function Runner** is a separate gRPC service that runs KRM functions in containers. It can execute both functions provided by Porch and externally developed function images.
 
-**Controllers** are Kubernetes controllers that automate package operations. The PackageVariant controller clones and updates packages; the PackageVariantSet controller manages sets of package variants.
+The **Controllers** are a set of Kubernetes controllers that manage package lifecycle and automate operations:
+
+- [**PackageRevision Controller**]({{% relref "/docs/5_architecture_and_components/controllers/packagerevision-controller" %}}) — manages PackageRevision custom resources (`porch.kpt.dev/v1alpha2`), handling package creation, rendering, and lifecycle transitions.
+- [**Repository Controller**]({{% relref "/docs/5_architecture_and_components/controllers/repository-controller" %}}) — synchronizes Repository custom resources with their backing Git repositories.
+- [**PackageVariant Controllers**]({{% relref "/docs/5_architecture_and_components/controllers/packagevariants" %}}) — automate creation and management of package variants through declarative configuration.
 
 The **Cache** is a storage backend used to cache repository content for performance. Porch supports a CR-based cache backed by Kubernetes custom resources, or a PostgreSQL-based cache for larger deployments.

+{{% alert title="Architecture Direction" color="info" %}}
+Porch is transitioning from an aggregated API model (where the API server orchestrates all operations) to a CRD-based controller model (where native Kubernetes CRDs and controllers handle package lifecycle). The aggregated API server remains for serving PackageRevisionResources content.
