Rich Knowledge

Scope

Consult ../python3-development/references/python3-standards.md when applying shared architecture, typing, testing, or CLI rules; full standards, graphs, and amendment process are documented there.

• All renderable types (Panel, Table, Tree, Columns, Layout)
• Progress bars (track(), Progress) and Live displays
• RichHandler for stdlib logging and traceback installation
• Text class and programmatic style building
• Syntax, Markdown, Pretty / pprint, JSON
• __rich_console__ and __rich_repr__ protocols for custom objects
