We have a monorepo containing CLI developer tools and background queue workers in `ops/tools`. I need an orientation document to help me navigate it before making my first pull request. Please format your response as a Codebase Orientation Map containing three sections: 1) A single sentence summarizing what this codebase is. 2) A high-level overview digestible in 5 minutes covering main tasks, primary inputs/outputs, key files, and core execution paths. 3) A deep dive section covering runtime specifics, main entry points, top-level folder structures in a table, key architectural boundaries, detailed end-to-end code flows with exact file paths, and an explicit list of files inspected. Avoid speculating, suggesting refactoring, or giving implementation advice; focus strictly on verifiable code facts.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |

| Strictly avoids offering implementation guidance or pull request code edits. | Passed | Passed |
| Presents codebase information using factual observations rather than assumed runtime behavior. | Missed | Passed |
