The docs half of RunicGateway/website#<n>. Three files.
**BACKEND_DESIGN.md** gains the six event tables, column by column, and the
eleven admin routes. Written where the other table groups are, in the same
shape, because the argument for a column belongs beside the column.
**EVENTS.md** records four things the build settled that §D and §F had left
open:
- `event_definitions.spec`, the working copy. §D's column list does not name
one because §D describes what a PUBLISHED event is made of — but "editing a
draft is free; no version exists yet" means the draft has to live somewhere,
and it cannot be an `event_versions` row: that table is immutable and a run
pins one, so a mutable unpublished row in it would be exactly what
versioning exists to prevent.
- A param's `example` is REQUIRED, on optional params too, the same rule
`registerEventTriggers` makes of a variable's example and for the same
reason: it is the authoring form's placeholder, one word at declaration
time and unreconstructable afterwards.
- The authoring side of dormancy. §F said what happens at DISPATCH; the save
path draws the same line one step earlier, in the shape `engagement_rules`
established — a saved step may keep an unregistered action, a new step may
not add one, and a dormant step blocks the publish rather than the save.
- Publish re-validates against the registries as they stand at that moment,
not from the save that wrote the spec.
Plus two routes the § API surface table did not name — `GET /admin/events/:id`
(the list serves a summary; the editor needs the tree) and `GET
/admin/events/series` (a form cannot offer a value it cannot enumerate) — and a
note stating which of that table's rows Phase 1 deliberately did not build.
**EVENTS_PLAN.md** marks Phase 1 complete, names those four settlements, and
states the two deliberate absences so a reviewer does not read them as gaps:
the live run controls are not stubbed, and core's three `perform()` bodies
answer `{ ok: false }` rather than `{ ok: true }` — `ok: true` on an action
that did nothing is a recorded world change that did not occur.
`api-route-inventory.json` is NOT resynced here. It has been stale since
engagement Phase 2 and is 47 routes behind; catching it up in this PR would
bury a 13-route change under an unrelated 47.
