Reference App

reference/standard-service is the canonical application shape in Plumego.

What it demonstrates

explicit bootstrap in main.go
app-local wiring in internal/app/app.go
explicit route registration in internal/app/routes.go
transport-only handlers under internal/handler

Why it matters

Plumego is intentionally opinionated about one obvious way to structure a service. The reference app is the place where that path is made concrete and reviewable.

When to follow it closely

Use it when you are:

starting a new service
validating handler and route shape
deciding where application-local code should live

What not to infer from it

it is a canonical reference, not a feature catalog
it does not make every x/* package part of the default path
it should not be treated as a license to blur stable-root boundaries
