+## See What You Built
+
+This is the architecture you have been building through this tutorial, rendered live from the same kind of `.calm.json` file you just wrote. It is generated at build time from [`ecommerce-platform.calm.json`](./architectures/ecommerce-platform.calm.json) — zoom, pan, and click nodes for details. Notice the platform boundary drawn as a box: that is the `composed-of` relationship, rendered as real containment.

+<CalmDiagram src="./architectures/ecommerce-platform.calm.json" />
+
+If your file validates, it will render exactly like this. A broken file fails the site build — architecture diagrams in docs can never silently drift from the model.
