 ## Conventions
 
-- Routes live in `app/api/`, registered into a single `ROUTER` (prefix `/api`) referenced from `application.py`. Add a new resource by creating `app/api/<name>.py`, defining handlers + a `Router`, and adding it to `application.build_app`.
+- Routes live in `app/api/`, one module per resource (`decks.py`, `cards.py`), each exposing its own `ROUTER` (`litestar.Router`, prefix `/api`). `application.build_app` registers them all via `route_handlers=[decks.ROUTER, cards.ROUTER]`. Add a new resource by creating `app/api/<name>.py`, defining handlers + a `ROUTER`, and adding it to that list.
 - Pydantic schemas in `app/schemas.py` use `from_attributes=True` (via `Base`) so they validate directly from ORM instances (`schemas.X.model_validate(orm_instance)`). Collection responses go through `Collection[T].from_models(...)` (e.g. `schemas.Decks`, `schemas.Cards`).
 - Deck responses are deliberately two-shaped: `list_decks`/`create_deck`/`update_deck` return the light `schemas.Deck` (no `cards`), while `get_deck` returns `schemas.DeckWithCards`. The split mirrors loading — lists use `noload` (no cards query), detail uses `selectinload` via `fetch_with_cards` — so the type states exactly what each endpoint loads.
 - Domain exceptions: register handlers in `application.build_app`'s `exception_handlers` dict (see `DuplicateKeyError` → `exceptions.duplicate_key_error_handler`). For per-handler 404s the code raises `litestar.exceptions.HTTPException` directly.
