Phase 8 was scoped as docs, coverage and the cutover. The AC-5 walk turned it into a phase with code in it, which is the outcome the walk existed to produce - so the record is longer than a phase-8 note would normally be. THEMING_AND_NAV.md gains "Phase 8 as landed": what the walk confirmed, the two defects it found and why they are phase 2's trap repeating, the role sweep that says which Material roles are still unmapped and which of them have a reader, the coverage-glob narrowing, and the adb-reverse rig note for the next walk. The phase 2 note is amended where it claimed the card shadow was the milestone's only visible change to an untouched instance - it is now one of three, and the third (an untouched instance drawing a hero, because brand.hero carries the env default) is a correction to the record with no code behind it. PLAN.md's M12 entry stopped at phase 2; it now runs through 6, records phase 8 including the defects, and drops the same "one deliberate change" claim. COVERAGE_PLAN.md gains an amendment section explaining why the ui/theme/** directory glob became wrong the moment M12 put three pure resolvers behind it, and the general rule it suggests: prefer file globs to directory globs once a directory is mixed. Its own §5 already forbade excluding testable code. Pairs with Android-app phase 8. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
