8fa4210477 chore(ci): the pinned core is on main now, not edge
All checks were successful
PR Checks / prose (pull_request) Successful in 7s
PR Checks / template (pull_request) Successful in 26s
The module system cut over on 2026-08-12 and website's `edge` branch was
deleted, so `ci/core-ref.json` named a branch that no longer exists.

The sha did not move. The pinned commit is an ancestor of `main`, the contract
is still MODULE_API_VERSION 1.5.0, and no chapter changed - this is a label
correction, not a re-pin, and deliberately not the moment d2 exists to create.

Nothing in CI reads the `branch` field: the workflow clones the repo and checks
out the sha, which is both why the cutover could not break the build and why a
wrong label here would have sat unnoticed indefinitely. The field is for the
person deciding whether a newer core is worth re-reading the book for, and a
branch that no longer exists tells them nothing. The `why` block now says which
half is load-bearing.

checkCoreApi.js's not-a-core error also asserted that core `main` "has none
until the cutover", which stopped being true at the same merge. A reader hitting
that message would have gone looking for a cutover that already happened - the
kit's own lesson from the CRLF defect, that a failure message naming a diagnosis
has to be right about it, applied to the kit's own scripts.

Verified both paths: the check still passes against a real core (^1.5.0 vs
1.5.0), and the rewritten message renders as intended. checkLinks,
checkRenameSites and checkChapterPaths all clean.

f8f7014d53 fix(kit): everything the acceptance run found — Phase 5 slice 3
All checks were successful
PR Checks / prose (pull_request) Successful in -38s
PR Checks / template (pull_request) Successful in 29s
A cold agent was given this repo and the documents it links to, and nothing
else — no core source, no module-uo — and asked to build a module for a second
game. It did, in one pass. The record is docs/modules/kit-acceptance.md; this is
the repair list, plus the two things it recommended that were not defects.

The one it could not find, because it had no core to render against: a module
page built exactly as this kit teaches renders OUTSIDE the site. PublicLayout is
the chrome, not the body. Core grew an opt-in `shell` prop for it
(MODULE_API_VERSION 1.5.0, website#148); the template passes shell="narrow" and
chapter 2 explains why you name a width and never a class.

Fixed:

- **F1, and the worst of them, because it lands in the first twenty minutes.**
  `npm run check:swagger` failed on a PRISTINE template on Windows: the check
  compared the committed fragment byte-for-byte and a default Windows clone is
  CRLF while the generator writes LF. The message blamed "the routes or their
  annotations". Now `template/.gitattributes` pins `eol=lf` and the comparison
  normalises line endings anyway — a check may only fail for the reason it names,
  and this one names a diagnosis.
- **F3** — `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` carries `gitea.example.com` and
  `your-org/your-module` under a literal `# CHANGE THESE`, was not in the rename
  checklist, and `checkRenameSites.js` could not match it, so CI was silent by
  construction. Row added, pattern widened. (The agent reported both workflow
  flavours; only the Gitea one is affected — GitHub supplies its own variables.
  Corrected in the record.) The near-miss is kept in the check's comments and its
  suite: the obvious widening is `example\.com`, which fires on a fixture URL in
  checkImports.test.js. Every alternative has to be a string that cannot occur by
  accident, which is the same rule that made the id `examplegame`.
- **F4** — the release bundle's include list was hardcoded, so adding
  `server/utils/` would have silently dropped it from every release while the
  bundle check stayed green. Inverted to an exclusion list, in both flavours, and
  run by hand because a release workflow never executes in CI.
- **F5** — the annotation-quoting warning was wrong in both directions, and the
  correction is measured rather than reasoned. A backtick is harmless (the
  template's own description has two spans and they survive). A `"` is not, and
  it does not throw: `'A "quoted" status'` is silently TRUNCATED to `A "` while
  swagger-autogen prints Success and the error capture sees nothing. The only
  signal is check:swagger blaming your routes.
- **F6** — `template/.gitignore`, so a copied template that is `git init`ed
  inherits ignore rules instead of nothing.
- **F7** — the UI kit is eight exports across five rows, not seven. The contract
  said seven and this kit had faithfully carried the miscount out of it.

Adopted, not defects:

- Chapter 1 now says to run every check on the untouched copy first. That is what
  found F1; without a baseline the first failure is ambiguous forever.
- The template ships the §2.7 self-check the agent wrote for itself. The rule has
  no CI in general — an outbound socket is not statically detectable — but a
  module can make a decidable claim about its own tree. Ported from its code with
  a header explaining how to NARROW it when a sidecar client arrives, since
  talking to your sidecar is the expected shape and is not what §2.7 forbids.

The pin moves to website edge 4ad8b2b, the 1.5.0 bump, and template/module.json
declares ^1.5.0 — so checkCoreApi's equality assertion still holds and the
template uses a member that exists only at that ref and later.

32 server + 18 client template tests, 21 kit-script tests, all four checks green.

1ed617736e feat(template): a module that builds and loads — Phase 5 slice 1
All checks were successful
PR Checks / prose (pull_request) Successful in 7s
PR Checks / template (pull_request) Successful in 27s
The kit's `template/`: a complete, minimal Runic Gateway module a reader copies,
renames, and runs before reading a chapter. Slice 0 landed the workflow that runs
it; this is the tree that workflow was written against, so the `template` job
arms itself with no edit to the guard.

Installed into a real core it adds one public page at `/examplegame/status`, a nav
row pointing at it, one API route described in an OpenAPI fragment core merges,
one table created by an idempotent schema fragment and dropped by a purge file,
and both lifecycle hooks. That is deliberately less than a real module does; what
it is complete about is the shape — every seam used once, with the reasoning next
to it.

Four decisions, settled with the org lead:

1. **Public tier only, plus the lifecycle hooks.** §2.11.1 d1's "one public route",
   plus enough to show the whole vertical seam once. Admin and player tiers become
   worked examples quoted from module-uo in chapter 2 rather than two thirds of a
   tree the reader deletes on day one.
2. **The release workflow ships as a file, in BOTH flavours** — `.gitea/` and
   `.github/`. Neither runs where it sits (a workflow is only read from a
   repository root) and each arms itself when the reader's copy is its own repo.
   Packaging is the part of a module that cannot be guessed at, and the kit's
   audience is outside this org, so assuming Gitea would have been assuming our
   own deployment. Core installs from a URL and does not care where the release
   lives — only that the host is on the operator's `MODULE_SOURCE_HOSTS`.
3. **A rename checklist that CI verifies**, not a rename script. `template/README.md`
   carries the table; `scripts/checkRenameSites.js` holds it against the tree in
   both directions — an unlisted file that still carries the placeholder fails, and
   so does a listed file that no longer does. The second half is the one usually
   left out and the more valuable: a row that has stopped matching reads as
   instructions to edit something that is not there. Same rule core's identifier
   check follows about its own exemptions. It has its own ten-test suite, run by
   CI as `node --test`, because a check that has never been shown to fail is a
   check nobody knows the state of.
4. **A neutral invented game.** One deviation from the literal answer, forced by
   decision 3: the id is `examplegame`, not `example`. The checklist check is a
   text search, and `example` occurs in ordinary English ("for example") all over
   prose that is not a rename site — a placeholder that cannot occur by accident is
   what makes the check answerable instead of a source of false alarms someone
   learns to ignore.

**The pin moves to the 1.4.0 bump** (website `edge` 1b692bf), which is what
`template/module.json` declares as `coreApi`. Slice 0 pinned its parent, before
1.4.0 existed, so `checkCoreApi.js` arms for the first time here — it asserts
EQUALITY, and its failing on the next contract bump is the system working.

Also in CI: the client tests now run AFTER the build (two of them read the built
chunk and skip without one — run first, the job reports green while asking nothing
about the artifact that ships), and `check:swagger` verifies the committed
fragment is current.

## The finding: an UPDATE that changes nothing does not touch ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

Every suite passed, both guards passed, the chunk built, the module loaded into a
real core and the page rendered correctly. Two hours later the same page said the
world was offline, and it was wrong.

`updated_at` was declared `ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP`, and MariaDB fires that
only when an UPDATE actually CHANGES a value. The boot refresh writes the same
numbers every thirty seconds — which is exactly what a quiet game looks like — so
the timestamp froze at the first write, the row crossed the freshness window, and
the model correctly reported a stale row as offline. Verified against the live
database: two hours of refreshes, `updated_at` still the boot timestamp.

No test in this repo could see it. The model takes its clock as an argument, and
nothing in a suite runs the same UPDATE twice against a real database. It is only
visible as a page that was right when you looked at it and wrong an hour later.

The writer now sets `updated_at = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP` explicitly and the column
drops the clause that was not doing what it looked like it was doing; both carry
the reasoning. Re-verified end to end: the timestamp advances every interval and
the API reports fresh.

Falling out of the fix, the schema fragment gained the rule the reader hits next:
**changing a table is an ALTER, never an edit to its CREATE** — `CREATE TABLE IF
NOT EXISTS` does nothing when the table exists, so an edited column definition
takes effect on a fresh install and on no existing one, which is the worst
possible split because your development database is usually the fresh one.

## Verified

- 29 server tests, 18 client tests, 10 kit-script tests; `check:imports`,
  `check:externals`, `check:swagger` and `checkCoreApi` all green, run in CI's own
  order from a clean `npm ci`.
- Browser smoke (MODULE_API.md §7.7) against a real core built from the pinned
  ref: module `started`, published on `/api/v1/public/modules`, chunk served
  `no-cache` with the right MIME from the entry's directory while `module.json`
  and the server source 404, script tag injected after core's bundle, the page
  rendering inside core's own chrome, the nav row interleaved into the public
  header between Wiki and About, SPA navigation into it from another page, the
  module's path and schema and tag merged into `/api/docs.json`, and
  `[examplegame] registered against core API 1.4.0` in the console with no CSP
  report and no React error.

Refs: MODULE_SYSTEM.md §2.11.1 (slice 1), MODULE_API.md §2.x, §3.x, §5.1, §7.7.

cffd525bdf docs: scaffold the Integration Kit — front page, outline, and the checks
All checks were successful
PR Checks / template (pull_request) Successful in 6s
PR Checks / links (pull_request) Successful in 7s
Phase 5 slice 0 (MODULE_SYSTEM.md §2.11.1). The repo's governance, the front
page, the book's outline, and the CI that keeps the whole thing from rotting.

README.md
  What the reader is building, all three parts, and the draft banner: the kit is
  finished when someone outside this project builds a working module by
  following it alone, and that has not happened. Says the sidecar rule plainly
  (MODULE_API.md §2.7) rather than leaving it to chapter 3, because a reader who
  skims the front page and starts coding should still get that one right.

book/README.md
  The outline of four chapters, landed before the prose so the shape can be
  argued with. Chapters are named but NOT linked — a link to a file that does
  not exist is what the link check is for, and an outline should not be the
  first thing to fail it.

CONTRIBUTING.md
  The rule that governs every change here: the kit never re-specifies a
  contract. Also the prose conventions, and why the pinned ref points at core's
  `edge` rather than `main`.

SECURITY.md
  Scoped for a repo that runs nothing: the two things that ARE reportable are a
  template that teaches an insecure pattern (it is meant to be copied) and a
  chapter that teaches something dangerous.

scripts/checkLinks.js
  Relative links resolve; anchors match a real heading; no link pins a reader to
  a commit snapshot of a moving document. Nothing is fetched — a self-hosted
  Gitea would fail on a credential-less runner and teach us to ignore red.
  Fences and code spans are stripped by a line walk, not a regexp.

  Its first run found a real one: a PR template's relative links resolve from
  the REPO ROOT, because that is where their text ends up when Gitea inlines
  them into a pull request body. Encoded, with the reason.

scripts/checkCoreApi.js
  The anti-rot check. Asserts template/module.json's `coreApi` EQUALS the pinned
  core's MODULE_API_VERSION — equality, not "satisfies", because a range check
  stays green across a contract bump and green would then mean "the template
  still loads" instead of "someone has re-read the book". Both failure branches
  and the pass were exercised against a real core checkout.

ci/core-ref.json
  The pin, same convention as Module-uo's. Points at `edge`: core's `main` has
  no server/src/modules/ until the cutover, and that pin is one of the things
  the cutover has to revisit.

.gitea/workflows/pr-checks.yml
  Two jobs. `links` always runs; `template` is conditional on
  template/module.json existing, so the repo is gated now and the job arms
  itself when slice 1 lands, with no edit to the workflow. Same guard Module-uo
  used through its planning phase.
