+The user-facing tutorial workspace (per-instrument `start_here.py` /
+`step_by_step.py` / `psf.py` / `simulator.py` examples, guides, README,
+llms.txt) lives in its own repository:
+https://github.com/PyAutoLabs/autoreduce_workspace (typically cloned as a
+sibling, `../autoreduce_workspace`). It was staged under `workspace/` in this
+repo until 2026-08-07 and extracted with history via
+`git filter-repo --subdirectory-filter workspace`. Workspace scripts consume
+only the public `autoreduce` API — a public-API change here means the
+workspace examples may need updating; flag it in your PR.
