Adds docs/rust-link/, the canonical spec for the Rust bridge: PROTOCOL.md (the
game link and the website API) and INTEGRATION.md (standing it up by hand, and
which of the three components is wrong when it does not work). A new top-level
directory mirroring link/, which is decision D1 below — it keeps the uo/link
symmetry and keeps module docs separate from bridge docs.
Records phase 1 in PLAN.md as section 13. Both criteria met: a server.hello
produced by the live Rust rig travelled game → sidecar → module → the public
website API, killing the sidecar left the game untouched, and all five guards are
green on the module skeleton.
Three org-lead decisions this phase needed, none settled by section 2:
* D1 — the bridge docs live at docs/rust-link/.
* D2 — loopback is the ONLY trust boundary on the game link, no token, exactly
as on the ServUO bridge. Argued the other way on the grounds that Rust servers
are far more often on GSPs; overruled, and the consequence is now written down
as the mistake rather than defended against.
* D3 — the plugin reads Oxide's own config file, so it lands inside the phase-7b
config editor for free. The argument against — that editing Host/Port from the
website could cut the link carrying the edit — becomes that phase's guard
rather than a reason for a second config mechanism.
Section 11.3 is corrected in place: it read module.json's "extensions" array as
held against reality by the loader in the way "mounts" is. Only half true. The
loader checks that a named slot EXISTS and never that the module filled it —
checkDeclared covers "mounts" alone — and only ONE of R13's two slots can be
declared there at all, because site.footer.status is a CLIENT slot and naming it
fails the load outright.
Section 13.3 records five defects a running server found that no test could,
including a bootId that regenerated on every plugin load rather than every server
start — which would have asked core to reconcile its whole ledger on every
oxide.reload, for a world that never moved.
