+===============================
+Federated Credential Management
+===============================
+
+FedCM, as it is abbreviated, is a platform feature that requires a full-stack implementation.
+As such, its code is scattered throughout the codebase and it can be hard to follow the flow of execution.
+This documentation aims to make those two points easier.
+
+Code sites
+==========
+
+Code relevant to it can be found in all of the following places.
+
+The webidl for this spec lives in ``dom/webidl/IdentityCredential.webidl``
+
+Core spec algorithm logic and the implementation of the ``IdentityCredential`` live in ``dom/credentialmanagement/identity/IdentityCredential.{cpp,h}``. The static functions of ``IdentityCredential`` are the spec algorithm logic. Helpers for managing the ``IdentityCredential.webidl`` objects are in the other files in ``dom/credentialmanagement/identity/``. The IPC is defined on the WindowGlobal in ``dom/ipc/PWindowGlobal.ipdl`` and ``dom/ipc/WindowGlobalParent.cpp``, and is a very thin layer.
+
+The service for managing state associated with IdentityCredentials is ``IdentityCredentialStorageService`` and the service for managing the UI prompts associated with IdentityCredentials is ``IdentityCredentialPromptService``. Both definitions and implementations are in ``toolkit/components/credentialmanagement``.
+
+The UI panel is spread around a little. The actual DOM elements are in the HTML subtree with root at ``#identity-credential-notification`` in ``browser/base/content/popup-notifications.inc``. But the CSS describing it is spread through ``browser/themes/shared/customizableui/panelUI-shared.css``, ``browser/themes/shared/identity-credential-notification.css``, and ``browser/themes/shared/notification-icons.css``. Generally speaking, search for ``identity-credential`` in those files to find the relevant ids and classes.
+
+Temporary content strings, which will be moved when included in i18n: ``browser/components/credentialmanager/identityCredentialNotification.ftl``, for now. This will eventually be moved to ``browser/locales/en-US/browser/``.
+
+All of this is entered from the ``navigator.credentials`` object, implemented in ``dom/credentialmanagement/CredentialsContainer.{cpp,h}``.
+
+Flow of Execution
+=================
+
+This is the general flow through code relevant to the core spec algorithms, which happens to be the complicated parts imo.
+
+A few notes:
+
+- All functions without a class specified are in ``IdentityCredential``.
+- Functions in ``IdentityCredentialPromptService`` mutate the Chrome DOM
+- FetchT functions send network requests via ``mozilla::dom::FetchJSONStructure<T>``.
+- A call to ``IdentityCredentialStorageService`` is made in ``PromptUserWithPolicy``
