Castor is a parent theme designed to serve as a foundational boilerplate for developers building custom child themes within the Dioscuri framework. It is intended for developers who need a structured, modern starting point for custom website projects, requiring PHP 7.1 and the platform's version 5.2 or higher.

• Structured Templating System: The theme organizes template parts into a clear hierarchy, separating global components (like headers and footers), layouts, and partials for specific content types. This promotes maintainable and consistent code.
• Modern Development Setup: Initialization is handled via Composer for PHP dependencies, indicating a focus on modern package management and development workflows.
• Framework Integration: Built specifically for the Dioscuri theme framework, it provides the core structure and logic that child themes can extend and customize without modifying the parent code directly.
• Pre-configured Layouts: Includes predefined template structures for common page types like single posts, archive pages, and error pages, speeding up initial development.
• Component-Based Architecture: The separation of template parts into reusable components (e.g., entry headers, meta information, pagination) allows for flexible design and easier updates.
