docs(modules): phase 6 as built — identity, and the sentence a player could not see

Protocol 3 in PROTOCOL.md §9, the identity walk in PLAYER_WALK.md, what an
operator needs in INTEGRATION.md, and PLAN.md §19.

Seven org-lead decisions (§19.0): /link is chat and its reply is private, codes
live in plugin memory as the UO bridge does, an alphabet with no O/0/I/1, a
Steam id another account holds is refused rather than moved, the website asks
EVERY server because a code does not say which one minted it, staff can sever a
link, and the activity-row overflow belongs to core.

§19.3 is the finding worth reading: a slot router is not registered under a tier,
so this repo own OpenAPI generator described two routes fewer than the module
serves — internally consistent, and wrong. The frozen-manifest job catches it,
which was verified by deleting the two paths and watching it fail.

§19.4 is what a browser found and 122 green tests did not. Core request
primitive reads data.message; this module has answered { error } since phase 1,
so every refusal this phase exists to write rendered as Service Unavailable.

The code-from-the-game half is written down rather than claimed: a code reaches
a player and nobody else, so no console can read one (D27).

Anything that disagrees with the table is a finding about the game or the framework rather than a
mistake in the table — record it, the same way phases 0, 1 and 2 recorded theirs.

## The identity walk (protocol 3, phase 6)
Added 2026-09-21, and here for the same reason as everything above: **a link code reaches a player
and nobody else**, so no console can read one. The site's own half was walked in a browser — the
refusals, the admin panel, staff unlink, the rate limit — and what needs a person in game is the
three steps below.
It takes two minutes, and it wants **two website accounts** — one you will link, one you will try to
link the same Steam account to.
| # | Do this | You should see |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | **In game, type `/link`** | A private reply with a six-character code and a five-minute deadline. Check it is private: a second player on the server must not see it. The code has **no O, 0, I or 1** in it — those glyphs are not in the alphabet, so one in your code is a finding |
| 2 | **Type `/link` again straight away** | *"Please wait a moment…"* — the thirty-second cooldown. The first code is now dead either way: a new request drops the old one, so only the newest ever works |
| 3 | **On the website, sign in and open `/player/rust`. Type the code** | The account appears, named as the game knows you, with the server it came from. Try the same code again: *"That code is unknown or has expired"* — it works once |
| 4 | **Sign in as the SECOND account and type a fresh code for the same Steam account** | Refused, naming the account that holds it: *"That Steam account is already linked to <name>. Run /unlink in game to release it."* The link must **not** move — it is what phase 7 grants permissions against |
| 5 | **In game, type `/unlink`** | The site's row disappears within one ingest tick (five seconds by default). Reload `/player/rust` to confirm — this is the frame arriving over the feed, not the page asking |
| 6 | **Type a code from a server whose sidecar you have just stopped** | *"One of the servers could not be reached… your code is still good — try again in a minute."* Distinct from step 3's refusal, and the distinction is the point: the code is fine and fetching another one would not help |
Step 6 needs a fleet of two, one of them down; on a single-server rig it reads *"The game servers are
unreachable right now"* instead, which is the same rule with nothing left to be unsure about.
**What counts as a pass here:** the code never appears anywhere but in front of the player who asked
for it (check the chat log and the sidecar's `/events?kind=account.link.requested` — the frame
carries the steam id, the name and a TTL, and **no code**), a Steam account belongs to one website
account at a time, and every refusal is a sentence that tells the player what to do next.
