-* Backend Protocol
+* Overview
 
 The backend protocol is the rendering abstraction layer. Every visual
 operation dispatches through generic functions on a backend class.
-Two implementations exist: =modern-backend= (raw escape sequences,
-truecolor, modern terminal features) and =simple-backend= (ASCII art,
+Two implementations exist: ~modern-backend~ (raw escape sequences,
+truecolor, modern terminal features) and ~simple-backend~ (ASCII art,
 universal compatibility).
 
-** Contract
+All drawing operations are generic functions dispatched on the backend
+class. Application code never calls terminal escape sequences directly.
 
-*** Backend Lifecycle
+* Contract
 
-- =(initialize-backend backend)= → backend
+** Backend Lifecycle
+
+- ~(initialize-backend backend)~ → backend
   Initialize the terminal, set raw mode, enable features.
   Returns the backend instance.
 
-- =(shutdown-backend backend)= → nil
+- ~(shutdown-backend backend)~ → nil
   Restore terminal to cooked mode, reset colors, show cursor.
   Must be called on exit regardless of how the image stops.
 
-- =(backend-size backend)= → (values columns lines integer integer)
+- ~(backend-size backend)~ → (values columns lines)
   Return terminal dimensions. First value = columns, second = lines.
 
-- =(backend-write backend string)= → integer
+- ~(backend-write backend string)~ → integer
   Write raw string to terminal output. Returns number of bytes written.
 
-- =(backend-clear backend)= → nil
+- ~(backend-clear backend)~ → nil
   Clear the entire screen and reset cursor to (0,0).
 
-*** Rendering Primitives
+** Rendering Primitives
 
-- =(draw-text backend x y string fg bg &key bold italic underline reverse dim blink)= → nil
+- ~(draw-text backend x y string fg bg &key bold italic underline reverse dim blink)~ → nil
   Render text at position (x, y). fg and bg are hex color strings
   (e.g. "#FFD700") or nil for default. Attributes are booleans.
 
-- =(draw-border backend x y width height &key style fg bg title title-align)= → nil
+- ~(draw-border backend x y width height &key style fg bg title title-align)~ → nil
   Draw a border rectangle. Style is :single, :double, or :rounded.
 
-- =(draw-rect backend x y width height &key bg)= → nil
+- ~(draw-rect backend x y width height &key bg)~ → nil
   Fill a rectangle with background color.
 
-- =(draw-link backend x y string url &key fg bg)= → nil
+- ~(draw-link backend x y string url &key fg bg)~ → nil
   Render clickable hyperlink (OSC 8 escape sequence).
 
-- =(draw-ellipsis backend x y width &key fg bg)= → nil
+- ~(draw-ellipsis backend x y width &key fg bg)~ → nil
   Render "..." truncated text marker at position.
 
-*** Cursor Operations
+** Cursor Operations
 
-- =(cursor-move backend x y)= → nil
-  Move cursor to position (x, y). Origin is top-left (0,0).
+- ~(cursor-move backend x y)~ → nil
+- ~(cursor-hide backend)~ → nil
+- ~(cursor-show backend)~ → nil
+- ~(cursor-style backend shape &key blink)~ → nil
+  Shape is :block, :bar, or :underline.
 
-- =(cursor-hide backend)= → nil
-- =(cursor-show backend)= → nil
+** Synchronization
 
-- =(cursor-style backend shape &key blink)= → nil
-  shape is :block, :bar, or :underline.
-
-*** Synchronization
-
-- =(begin-sync backend)= → nil
+- ~(begin-sync backend)~ → nil
   Start synchronized update (DECICM). All subsequent output is buffered
-  by the terminal until =end-sync=.
-
-- =(end-sync backend)= → nil
+  by the terminal until ~end-sync~.
+- ~(end-sync backend)~ → nil
   Flush synchronized update buffer. The entire frame appears at once.
 
-*** Input
+** Input
 
-- =(read-event backend &key timeout)= → (values keyword list)
+- ~(read-event backend &key timeout)~ → (values keyword list)
   Read next input event. Blocks until event or timeout.
-  Returns event type keyword and event data plist.
-
-- =(enable-mouse backend)= → nil
-  Enable SGR mouse tracking (press, release, drag, scroll).
-
-- =(enable-bracketed-paste backend)= → nil
+- ~(enable-mouse backend)~ → nil
+  Enable SGR mouse tracking.
+- ~(enable-bracketed-paste backend)~ → nil
   Enable bracketed paste mode.
 
-*** Capability Queries
+** Capability Queries
 
-- =(capable-p backend feature)= → boolean
+- ~(capable-p backend feature)~ → boolean
   Feature is :truecolor, :osc8, :sync, :mouse, :bracketed-paste,
   :kitty-keyboard, :sixel, :cursor-style.
 
 ** Backend Classes
 
-*** Simple Backend
+- ~(make-simple-backend &key output-stream)~ → simple-backend
+  Minimal backend. ASCII borders, no color, no modern features.
 
-=(make-simple-backend)= → simple-backend
+- ~(make-modern-backend &key output-stream)~ → modern-backend
+  Full-featured backend. Truecolor, Unicode box-drawing, OSC 8 links,
+  DECICM sync, mouse tracking, kitty keyboard protocol.
 
-The minimal backend. ASCII borders, no color, no modern features.
-Works everywhere — SSH, serial, pipes, ancient terminals.
+* Tests
 
-Borders:
-- Single: + - |
-- Double: + = |
-- Rounded: + - |  (same as single — no rounded chars)
-
-No color, no bold, no italic, no links, no mouse, no sync.
-
-*** Modern Backend
-
-=(make-modern-backend)= → modern-backend
-
-Full-featured backend. Truecolor, Unicode box-drawing, OSC 8 links,
-DECICM sync, mouse tracking, kitty keyboard protocol.
-
-Borders:
-- Single: ┌ ─ ┐ │ └ ┘
-- Double: ╔ ═ ╗ ║ ╚ ╝
