Two records, one milestone. Phase 7 (reading nav_admin / nav_player) is cancelled. Section 6.4 already made the case against it and scheduled it last so the call could be taken on its merits with the rest working: the two authenticated navs reach four app rows between them, which does not pay for a new authenticated fetch, a session-keyed cache and its teardown. The app therefore makes no authenticated settings call at all, and the player and staff drawer rows keep their coded -- and so localized -- labels, which is the one thing given up. Section 4's locked decision, section 3's endpoint row and section 5.5's lifecycle paragraph are amended to match so the doc does not contradict itself, and section 8 gains the standing "Phase 7, cancelled" note. Phase 0 (the contract and the appearance store) landed as Android-app#33, and its "as landed" notes record two departures from what section 8 specified: - `theme` is modeled as a raw JsonElement rather than Map<String,String>?. kotlinx fails the decode of the whole object on a value of an unexpected kind, and `theme` shares its payload with `brand` and `push` -- so one odd token would have blanked the branding and dropped the push relay URL, the opposite of section 2. It is coerced field-by-field instead. - A failed refresh keeps the last good appearance rather than falling back to NONE. Section 5.5 said best-effort; the distinction it did not draw is that a moment of no connectivity on resume must not repaint a themed shard back to the shipped defaults.

Runic Gateway — Documentation
Central documentation for the Runic Gateway platform. The docs here were extracted from the two code repositories (with full commit history preserved) so they live in one place, independent of either codebase.
Layout
website/ docs from the shard website (Node/Express + MariaDB + React/Vite)
link/ docs from the ServUO bridge (C# plugin + Rust sidecar + Node WS)
android/ docs from the native Android client (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose)
installer/ docs for the installer that deploys a shard's bridge components
ci/ cross-cutting CI/quality notes
Setting up a shard? installer/INSTALL.md is the operator guide, and
the installer is the supported path: one binary deploys the plugin overlay, installs the uo-link
sidecar as a service, and hands you the values the website needs.
