Project Instructions

This is an educational Computer Organization and Architecture project.

Priority order:

1. Algorithmic correctness
2. Beginner-friendly teaching
3. Clear simulation
4. Simple maintainable code
5. Visual polish

The project implements radix-2 Booth's algorithm for signed two's-complement multiplication.

Rules:

• Keep algorithm logic separate from React UI logic.
• Do not simplify away intermediate Booth states.
• Every simulation step must be explainable to a beginner.
• Preserve fixed-width signed arithmetic correctly.
• Use the width-safe n+1-bit accumulator implementation.
• Do not add a backend, database, authentication, or unrelated features.
• Run tests and production build after significant changes.
