CLILOCS.md and SPAWN_ATLAS.md each explain WHY the operator has to supply
something out of their own client, but neither says how. UOFIDDLER.md is the
missing procedure: where to get UOFiddler, which two files in the zip matter,
which runtime it needs, where Cliloc.enu actually lives, the conversion, how to
point the site at the result, and how to confirm it took.
Verified end to end on a stock Windows box: UOFiddler 4.22.2 (Ultima.dll is
net10.0), .NET SDK 9.0.312 building the net8.0 converter, RollForward carrying
it onto runtime 10.0.8, and the site's own parser reading the output back.
Corrects one claim while doing it. CLILOCS.md said a UOFiddler GUI export
"works equally well"; it does not. Its Cliloc tab writes `Number;Text;Flag` --
three columns, flag LAST -- and parseClilocText splits on the first separator
only, so the flag is absorbed into the name and every item renders as
`quarter staff;0`. The parser already handles `number,flag,text` with the flag
in the middle, but a trailing `;0` is indistinguishable from a name that
genuinely ends that way, so this stays a documented `sed` on the operator's
side rather than a heuristic that would corrupt real names.

Documents order 5b across the four repos, and records what building it changed
about §8 as designed.
- NEW website/MARKETPLACE.md — the operator guide: what the pages must say out
loud and why, the privacy contract (the player's in-game Vendor Search toggle
wins, and no admin setting overrides it), the Bridge.cfg knobs and how they
trade against each other, and the measured sweep costs.
- INTEGRATION.md — catalog entry for vendor.listing / vendor.listing.remove with
its six consumer gotchas, and the GET /market REST section (the sidecar's only
paged read, and why it orders by serial rather than shop name).
- BACKEND_DESIGN.md — shard_vendors / shard_vendor_items, the routes, and the
marketplace search as the only rate-limited public read.
- SHARD_VISIBILITY.md — why the market's fields default to Everyone (the in-game
gump already shows exactly that set), why location is one setting covering
four things, and why hiding the owner name without the owner id achieves
nothing.
- PLAN.md — the amortized round-robin as the one sweep pattern the bridge did not
previously have, and an update to §7's cliloc note: pushing name resolution to
the plugin was never an option, because ServUO cannot read a modern client's
compressed cliloc files either.
- v3.md §8.8 — the four things the build settled differently, chief among them
that §8.1's FLAT location payload would have made Part A's pre-wired
market.location rule inert, exactly like the characterName miss one part
earlier.

Protocol 3.0 Part A. Admin-configurable, per-feature and per-field
audience control over every shard-derived surface, replacing the static
PUBLIC_KINDS allowlist that used to be the whole boundary.
- SHARD_VISIBILITY.md (new): the admin-facing guide - the ladder, what
each of the ten features exposes, the defaults, the two rules that are
code rather than configuration, and worked examples.
- BACKEND_DESIGN.md 6.5 (new): the same thing as a security contract -
the ladder and how viewerLevel resolves it, the locked acct/webId rule,
the fail-closed kind map, the asymmetric ladder fallbacks, and the
three enforcement points. Plus the shard_feature_visibility schema, the
/public/shard/features route, and the adminOnly tier on
/admin/shard/visibility.
Defaults reproduce pre-3.0 behavior everywhere, with one deliberate
exception which is the leak Part A was written to close: guilds and
governors previously returned the raw stored payload, whose leader and
governor actors carry acct and webId, to anonymous callers.

Surveys the live ServUO tree against everything the bridge already
surfaces and records the full gap list (17 items), then specs the four
features scoped for 3.0.
3.0 has three scope areas:
- A: the visibility framework. Admin-configurable, per-feature and
per-field audience control over all ten shard-derived surfaces (the
four new ones plus the six that already ship), on an
anonymous -> logged_in -> player -> staff -> admin ladder. Every
default reproduces today's behavior, so the retrofit is a no-op until
an admin changes something. Two rules an admin cannot override: acct
and webId are admin-only always, and an unmapped event kind is never
broadcast below admin. This also fixes a verified leak - guild leader
acct/webId are readable today on the anonymous /public/shard/guilds.
- B: three new wire streams - world.ruleset, points.board, and
vendor.listing/vendor.listing.remove.
- C: the spawn atlas, built from static ServUO data files with no wire
involvement.
Visibility lives entirely on the website; the sidecar stays a dumb
forwarder that defines no access parameters and advertises no
capabilities.
PROTOCOL_VERSION goes 2 -> 3 once, at the end: every part PRs into an
edge branch per repo, and the coordinated edge -> main merge is the
cutover. A schema migration moves uo_link_config.protocol so operators
don't have to.

Add auto-generated project-tree snapshots for the website, link, and
Android-app repos under docs/<repo>/PROJECT_TREE.md, and link them from
the README (adding a previously-missing android/ section). These files
are maintained going forward by the sync-project-tree CI workflow in each
source repo, which opens a PR here whenever the tracked layout changes.
