Research direction
Start with documentation/cxx-interop/safe-interop/index.md and compare its destination decision with cxx-interop/index.md, deferring the choice to the C++ interop team. Review the current memory-safety annotation examples, then translate the Jekyll markdown, update the target Documentation.md catalog, and run the listed documentation generation and preview commands. Done means the article is reviewed, published, and the source file receives its redirect_to: update.
