Read the system context

Level 1 — E-Shop workload context

The shopper uses E-Shop. PayPal is external because the workload calls PayPal Sandbox APIs. AliExpress is external because product evidence originates there, although the runtime consumes only a static local snapshot. Corp v1 delivery, Discord coordination, and LLM assistance support the workload but are not E-Shop runtime containers.

Level 0 — Corp v1 platform context

At the wider Corp v1 boundary, PayPal and AliExpress are platform-governed external dependencies/sources, not unknown Internet actors. They remain outside the platform's owned infrastructure, but their use is mediated by Corp v1 policy and project decisions.

Only Discord and the LLM Provider are modeled as direct external services to the Corp v1 collaboration/automation boundary. PayPal and AliExpress are shown one level down as external dependencies of the E-Shop workload within the governed platform context. This level distinction avoids incorrectly drawing either vendor as a Corp v1-owned system.
