wtclaude d33064e8d7 docs(website): add theming & nav build contract
Corrects the design doc against the current codebase and locks the open
decisions, in the same shape as HERO_EDITOR.md (locked decisions ->
corrections to reality -> phased build).

Blocking gaps found in the design doc:
  - no delete path exists for a settings row, which every "reset to
    defaults" in the feature depends on
  - editors/moderators/players have no endpoint to read their own nav
    overrides (GET /admin/settings is admin-only)
  - renderIndexHtml runs once at boot, not per request
  - settings values are JSON strings, not objects
  - getPublic().brand is a cross-repo contract the Android app and
    Discord embeds theme from; new keys would silently bypass it

Locked: effective values resolved server-side into getPublic().brand;
radius + shadow tokens only (spacing/border cut); radius tokens seeded at
today's real values so the promotion is a no-op; three dark presets in v1
with Parchment deferred; 12-option font shortlist across 8 web families
in one request; PNG-only favicons.

# 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`](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.
### `website/`
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
| [BACKEND_DESIGN.md](website/BACKEND_DESIGN.md) | API contract, DB schema, security model |
| [HERO_EDITOR.md](website/HERO_EDITOR.md) | Hero canvas editor feature spec |
| [THEMING_AND_NAV.md](website/THEMING_AND_NAV.md) | Admin-configurable theme, brand assets and navigation — build contract |
| [WIKI_UPGRADE.md](website/WIKI_UPGRADE.md) | Wiki subsystem upgrade notes |
| [SHARD_VISIBILITY.md](website/SHARD_VISIBILITY.md) | Who sees which shard data — the admin-configurable audience framework |
| [SPAWN_ATLAS.md](website/SPAWN_ATLAS.md) | The bestiary / spawn atlas: what the shard contains, parsed from its own ServUO tree |
| [CLILOCS.md](website/CLILOCS.md) | UO's id → name table: converting one from your client so items have names |
| [UOFIDDLER.md](website/UOFIDDLER.md) | **Operator runbook** — step-by-step extraction from your own UO client (cliloc table, creature art) |
| [MARKETPLACE.md](website/MARKETPLACE.md) | The player-vendor index: how it is gathered, what it costs, how to tune it |
| [website-README.md](website/website-README.md) | Snapshot of the website repo's README (setup/run reference) |
| [PROJECT_TREE.md](website/PROJECT_TREE.md) | Auto-generated snapshot of the repo's tracked file layout |
### `link/`
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
| [INTEGRATION.md](link/INTEGRATION.md) | How the website integrates with the uo-link sidecar |
| [PROTOCOL_2.md](link/PROTOCOL_2.md) | Protocol 2.0 / 2.1 design |
| [v3.md](link/v3.md) | Protocol 3.0 design — shard content/standings streams + the visibility framework |
| [ADMIN_CONTROLS.md](link/ADMIN_CONTROLS.md) | Staff write-plane (kick/ban/broadcast, page queue) |
| [SHARD_PREREQS.md](link/SHARD_PREREQS.md) | Shard-side prerequisites for the bridge |
| [PLAN.md](link/PLAN.md) | uo-link build plan |
| [RESEARCH.md](link/RESEARCH.md) | Research notes |
| [link-README.md](link/link-README.md) | Snapshot of the link repo's README |
| [PROJECT_TREE.md](link/PROJECT_TREE.md) | Auto-generated snapshot of the repo's tracked file layout |
### `android/`
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
| [PLAN.md](android/PLAN.md) | Android client build plan / milestones |
| [COVERAGE_PLAN.md](android/COVERAGE_PLAN.md) | Test-coverage rollout plan |
| [APP_LINKS.md](android/APP_LINKS.md) | Android App Links / deep-link setup |
| [theme-plan.md](android/theme-plan.md) | Theming plan |
| [TRUSTED_DEVICES_APP_HANDOFF.md](android/TRUSTED_DEVICES_APP_HANDOFF.md) | Trusted-devices app handoff notes |
| [PROJECT_TREE.md](android/PROJECT_TREE.md) | Auto-generated snapshot of the repo's tracked file layout |
### `installer/`
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
| [INSTALL.md](installer/INSTALL.md) | **Start here to set up a shard** — the installer deploys the plugin overlay and the uo-link sidecar, registers the service, and connects it to the website. Appendix A is the same thing by hand, still supported |
| [PLAN.md](installer/PLAN.md) | Installer design of record — phases, locked decisions, the bundle/compat-matrix model |
## Provenance
- `website/*` was extracted from `RunicGateway/website` via `git filter-repo`.
- `link/*` was extracted from `RunicGateway/link` via `git filter-repo`.
Commit history and authorship for each doc are preserved. The two source repos
retain a short pointer to this repo in their own READMEs; the authoritative copy
of each document now lives here.
