+# Contributing
+
+If you'd like to contribute, the best way right now is to open a bug report, suggestion, or question on [Dim GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/ufukty/dim/discussions). PRs and issues aren't being accepted from users at this stage.
+
+## Internals
+
+Dim's code may not be straightforward to follow, as it employs several optimization techniques that scatter and intertwine logic across files.
+
+### Overview
+
+The extension starts with the lifecycle controller. It is responsible for routing user events received from VS Code to the correct units. Units include the compiled user-config cache and individual editor decorators. Events include changes in the config, active and visible editors, and selections.

+
+An editor decorator instance is responsible for a single `TextEditor` instance. It holds the UI state, including the per-document toggle and the ranges decorated at the previous iteration.
+
+### Compiled user-config cache
+
+A Dim user-config may contain many RegExes, so compiled results are cached. The compiled config is sensitive to the scope of `TextEditor`. That's a shallow handle VS Code uses to represent a tab's session. Cache invalidation is triggered by the Extensions API event `onDidChangeConfiguration`.

+
+Cache keys may shift as VS Code returns different `TextEditor` instances for the same "tab" when the user switches between them.
