## TL;DR

CSS Flexbox is a one-dimensional layout model for arranging items in a row or column. This repair removes duplicates and keeps claims to W3C, MDN, and web.dev documentation.

## Core Explanation

Flexbox centers on a flex container and flex items. It distributes space along a main axis and aligns content along a cross axis, which makes it useful for navigation, controls, and component layout.
