docs/README.md
wtclaude c53cf9fce5 docs(link): protocol 7 -- what an event owns, and the split that carries it 
`link/v7.md` is the spec of record: one command family for five verbs, the
persisted ownership registry and why it is forced rather than chosen, the oracle
that reuses ServUO's own dialogue vocabulary without its command-scripting
field, and the decoration index.

`EVENTS_PLAN.md` splits Phase 12 into 12a and 12b (org lead, 2026-09-07), on the
line section G already draws between what an event OWNS and what it BORROWS. Ten
verbs, four repos and a protocol bump is one review and one walk too many, and
the halves prove different things. One protocol version across both, the 11a/11b
shape.

Three corrections the survey forced on `EVENTS.md`:

The config lease catalog does NOT grow in 12b, and the plan's promise of "the
rest of the allowlist" was written before anyone counted. Measured on ServUO
57.4: 156 non-Bridge `Config.Get` call sites; 82 sit outside a field
declaration, but all but four of those are inside a `Configure()` or a static
constructor and are cached at boot exactly as the field initialisers are. The
live, event-useful reads are `PlayerCaps.SkillCap` (11b shipped it) and vendor
bribe decay. So 12b's lease work is object-property leases.

Section G calls the seasonal toggle "a nine-value enum". `EventStatus` has THREE
values; it is `EventType` that has nine entries. The verb is a three-state
toggle over nine named events, which is a different form to author and to cap.

Section G costed the reopening at one protocol bump. It is two: the idempotency
guarantee had to land before the verbs that depend on it, which is v6's own
argument.

`README.md` gains rows for v6 and v7. v6's was missing -- the index has been one
protocol behind since 11a.

# 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 website core (Node/Express + MariaDB + React/Vite)
modules/ docs for installable game modules — one directory per module id
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 |
| [ARCHITECTURE.md](website/ARCHITECTURE.md) | The system diagram — how core, an installed module, the sidecar and the clients fit together |
| [TEAMS.md](website/TEAMS.md) | Teams as a platform primitive: roster, forums, notifications, Discord slash commands and voice — design of record |
| [ENGAGEMENT.md](website/ENGAGEMENT.md) | The engagement system: module-declared event triggers, rules, cooldowns, templates and the email / push / in-app delivery channels — design of record |
| [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 |
| [MODULE_SYSTEM.md](website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md) | Making the site game-agnostic: game logic becomes an installable module — design of record |
| [MODULE_API.md](website/MODULE_API.md) | The module ↔ core contract: `ctx`, the `register*` calls, the client registry and the loader's obligations |
| [UPGRADE_NOTES.md](website/UPGRADE_NOTES.md) | **Operator-facing, newest first** — the upgrades that need an operator to do something, or that change behaviour quietly enough to be discovered by accident |
| [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 |
| [TRUSTED_DEVICES_MFA.md](website/TRUSTED_DEVICES_MFA.md) | TOTP two-factor, trusted devices and recovery codes |
| [MODERATION_APPEALS.md](website/MODERATION_APPEALS.md) | Moderation actions, content reports and the appeals flow |
| [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) |
| [test-plan.md](website/test-plan.md) | The website's test strategy and harness |
| [API_V2_PLAN.md](website/API_V2_PLAN.md) | Router domain split + CSP hardening. The split is complete; only the CSP enforce step remains |
| [API_V2_SKELETON.md](website/API_V2_SKELETON.md) | **Superseded** — the `/api/v2` scaffold that was never built. Kept as the record of why the split was done in place instead |
| [PROJECT_TREE.md](website/PROJECT_TREE.md) | Auto-generated snapshot of the repo's tracked file layout |
### `modules/`
Documentation for installable game modules aggregates here rather than in each module's repo
([MODULE_SYSTEM.md](website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md) §2.10). The website core knows nothing about any
particular game; a module is what makes it a site *for* one.
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
| [uo/](modules/uo/README.md) | **module-uo** — the Ultima Online module: what it serves, what it owns, and what an operator needs |
| [uo/API.md](modules/uo/API.md) · [uo/SCHEMA.md](modules/uo/SCHEMA.md) | module-uo's own route surface and the tables it owns |
| [kit-acceptance.md](modules/kit-acceptance.md) | The Integration Kit acceptance run — building a module by following the kit alone, and what it found |
| [rust-dryrun.md](modules/rust-dryrun.md) | A written, deliberately unimplemented `module-rust` — the test that the module contract generalises past the game it was extracted from |
### `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 |
| [v4.md](link/v4.md) | Protocol 4.0 — guild membership on the wire (`guild.roster`, `guild.leave`) |
| [v5.md](link/v5.md) | Protocol 5 — three enrichments in one bump: `house.decay`'s decay schedule, `vendor.listing`'s fee state, and `account.login.result`. **The current protocol**, shipped 2026-09-01 as bundle 2026.09.01 (sidecar v2.1.0 + overlay v1.1.0) |
| [v6.md](link/v6.md) | Protocol 6 — idempotent commands, config leases with a shard-side deadline, and the run-scoped participation ledger. On `edge`; reaches `main` at the events cutover |
| [v7.md](link/v7.md) | Protocol 7 — the world verbs an event OWNS: creatures, bosses, oracle NPCs, temporary gates, decoration, and the persisted ownership registry behind them. On `edge` |
| [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 |

| [THEMING_AND_NAV.md](android/THEMING_AND_NAV.md) | The app's half of admin-configurable theming and navigation — build contract |
| [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 |
