The data half of the extraction: 8 model directories, 13 utils, the shard
stream catalog and the 27-table schema fragment with its purge.
server/core.js is what makes the port a one-line import change per file rather
than a signature change per function. Ported code requires its dependencies at
file scope -- `const { query } = require('../../core')` -- which runs before
register() has been called and before any ctx exists. So every member is a
stable function that resolves ctx when CALLED, and nothing may be destructured
off ctx at init either, because core is free to hand over a getter.
Two helpers are vendored rather than taken from ctx, and the line between them
is the point. utils/excerpt.js is core's deriveExcerpt -- nine lines of pure
text handling. Core's sanitiser next to it was NOT copied: a second copy of a
security control diverges silently the moment either is fixed. announceLinks.js
vendors legError and articleUrl the same way, but baseUrl could not be: core's
reads APP_BASE_URL, and §2.7 forbids a module reading core's environment, so it
comes off ctx.site.baseUrl.
The schema fragment is core's 27 shard_*/uo_link_* statements, verbs CREATE,
ALTER and UPDATE only, every CREATE TABLE guarded. Two of its tables carry a
foreign key INTO users, which is allowed and is why the replay order matters --
core's schema is in place before this runs. The reverse never occurs and must
not: it would make core unable to boot without a module installed.
One real port bug caught by the integration run, not by tests: the atlas art
map resolved `../../../db/data`, which pointed at core's tree when this file
lived there and points outside server/ now. A path that happens to resolve is
exactly what survives a green suite, because the absent-file branch returns {}
and looks like the normal case.

The first real module. It registers nothing, deliberately: what slice 0 proves
is the delivery path itself, end to end, before a single UO file moves into it.
Server half: module.json, an entry point that takes (ctx, api) and registers
nothing, a test suite built on a fake ctx, and scripts/checkImports.js -- the
MODULE_API.md §5.1 boundary check. Client half: the Vite library build, four
shims re-exporting react / react-dom/client / react-router-dom / jsx-runtime
from window.__rg, an entry that verifies each is identity-equal to core's copy,
and scripts/checkExternals.js. 29 server tests, 9 client tests, both new.
Verified against a real core: the module loads, mounts its zero routes, runs to
`started`, and is published by /api/v1/public/modules. Its chunk serves from
the entry's directory with `Cache-Control: no-cache` while the module's server
source, module.json and package.json all 404. In Chrome, under the enforced
`script-src 'self'`, the chunk evaluates and reports all four shared
dependencies OK, with zero CSP reports and no console errors.
Three findings, each of which had produced a green build that was wrong.
MODULE_API.md §3.6 shows `external` alongside the aliases and they do not
compose. Rollup asks `external` BEFORE Vite's alias resolver runs, so a
specifier in both is marked external and never aliased -- the chunk then ships
bare `import "react"`, which no browser can resolve without an import map, and
CSP forbids one. Built cleanly and emitted exactly that; checkExternals caught
it. So: alias only, `external` empty, and vite.config.js grows a resolution-time
guard that fails the build if a shared dependency resolves into node_modules.
That guard was wrong twice before it worked. Written against Rollup's `load`
hook it never ran -- `load` is first-wins and an earlier plugin had already
claimed the module -- so a deliberately-broken alias produced a 24 kB chunk with
react-router welded in, and a green build. And its forbidden-package list was
derived from the alias list "so the two cannot disagree", which meant deleting
an alias also deleted the guard against what that alias prevented. It states the
contract now, and a test asserts the aliases stay inside it.
checkImports failed on its own documentation the first time it ran: the comment
naming require("../../etc/passwd") as an example of what to catch, and index.js
explaining why the module must never require("express"). A boundary check that
cannot survive being described is one people stop writing comments around. It
strips comments and template literals with a character walk rather than a
regexp, because a URL in a string contains a comment opener and a comment
contains quotes -- and it has its own test suite, since a check never shown to
fail is a check nobody knows the state of.
