+Apps extend `StorageKey` with typed static keys (e.g., `extension StorageKey where Value == String`) and use `StorageRouter.shared`. This follows the Notification.Name pattern for discoverable keys while preserving value-type inference.
 
 ## Audit & Validation
 Apps can register multiple `StorageKeyCatalog`s (e.g., one per module) to generate audit reports and enforce key registration. Registration is additive and validates:

 ### Why `AnyStorageKey`?
 
-`StorageKey` has an associated type (`Value`), which means you cannot store different keys in a single array using `[StorageKey]` or `some StorageKey`. Swift requires type erasure for heterogeneous protocol values, so the catalog uses `[AnyStorageKey]` and builds descriptors behind the scenes.
