Phase 11 was widened on 2026-08-31 to ship every ✅ row of §8.6 rather than a single rule, and the phase text asked for its 11a/11b split to be confirmed with the org lead before any code. Confirming it turned up five further questions the plan had not asked, three of which change what ships — so this records all six before implementation starts, on Phase 2's precedent. The three carve-outs all came from checking §8.6's rows against what the WEBSITE can address rather than against what the wire carries: • uo.guild.joined duplicates core's team.member.joined — a UO guild IS a Team and teamSync already emits on every roster reconcile, so an operator who enables the obvious two rules gets two mails for one join. `left` and `disbanded` still ship; core has no equivalent for either. • uo.link.requested has no addressable recipient by construction (the account is not yet linked) and a ~5-minute TTL no channel can beat. • uo.points.rank_changed ships `subscribers` only: points.board's top[] names a mobile serial and shard_account_links is keyed by account, so the personal half would reach some players and silently not others. The other three: • The lattice gains `admin`, as a child of `staff` — the operator-facing family is described as admin-audience everywhere and `staff` is admin/editor/ moderator, so ceilinging it there would mail the staff audit digest to every editor. It is the only genuine refinement in the tree, so permits/meet/ meetAll are untouched. MODULE_API_VERSION → 1.8.0. • §7.1 Q9 (news.post continuity): the emit REPLACES the raw tickle and core seeds the rule disabled — the Phase 6 precedent. News push stops on upgrade; the admin banner and the release note are the mitigations, and both are named as phase deliverables. • The split is confirmed and specified: 11a is declarations/mappings/ceilings, server only, no rule or template seeded; 11b is the seeded set and the live walk. Also records the threshold-trigger mechanism uo.vendor.expiring and uo.economy.milestone need — rule conditions compare against literals only, so "within 24 hours of dismissal" is not expressible as a condition and the crossing is tracked module-side — and names module-uo's first three registered audiences.

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 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 | API contract, DB schema, security model |
| ARCHITECTURE.md | The system diagram — how core, an installed module, the sidecar and the clients fit together |
| TEAMS.md | Teams as a platform primitive: roster, forums, notifications, Discord slash commands and voice — design of record |
| 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 | Hero canvas editor feature spec |
| THEMING_AND_NAV.md | Admin-configurable theme, brand assets and navigation — build contract |
| MODULE_SYSTEM.md | Making the site game-agnostic: game logic becomes an installable module — design of record |
| MODULE_API.md | The module ↔ core contract: ctx, the register* calls, the client registry and the loader's obligations |
| 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 | Wiki subsystem upgrade notes |
| SHARD_VISIBILITY.md | Who sees which shard data — the admin-configurable audience framework |
| TRUSTED_DEVICES_MFA.md | TOTP two-factor, trusted devices and recovery codes |
| MODERATION_APPEALS.md | Moderation actions, content reports and the appeals flow |
| SPAWN_ATLAS.md | The bestiary / spawn atlas: what the shard contains, parsed from its own ServUO tree |
| CLILOCS.md | UO's id → name table: converting one from your client so items have names |
| UOFIDDLER.md | Operator runbook — step-by-step extraction from your own UO client (cliloc table, creature art) |

| website-README.md | Snapshot of the website repo's README (setup/run reference) |
| test-plan.md | The website's test strategy and harness |
| API_V2_PLAN.md | Router domain split + CSP hardening. The split is complete; only the CSP enforce step remains |
| 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 | 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 §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/ | module-uo — the Ultima Online module: what it serves, what it owns, and what an operator needs |
| uo/API.md · uo/SCHEMA.md | module-uo's own route surface and the tables it owns |
| kit-acceptance.md | The Integration Kit acceptance run — building a module by following the kit alone, and what it found |
| 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 | How the website integrates with the uo-link sidecar |
| PROTOCOL_2.md | Protocol 2.0 / 2.1 design |
| v3.md | Protocol 3.0 design — shard content/standings streams + the visibility framework |
| v4.md | Protocol 4.0 — guild membership on the wire (guild.roster, guild.leave) |
| 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; built on edge, not yet released |
| ADMIN_CONTROLS.md | Staff write-plane (kick/ban/broadcast, page queue) |
| SHARD_PREREQS.md | Shard-side prerequisites for the bridge |
| PLAN.md | uo-link build plan |
| RESEARCH.md | Research notes |
| link-README.md | Snapshot of the link repo's README |
| PROJECT_TREE.md | Auto-generated snapshot of the repo's tracked file layout |
android/
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
| PLAN.md | Android client build plan / milestones |
| COVERAGE_PLAN.md | Test-coverage rollout plan |

| PROJECT_TREE.md | Auto-generated snapshot of the repo's tracked file layout |
installer/
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 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 design of record — phases, locked decisions, the bundle/compat-matrix model |
| PROJECT_TREE.md | Auto-generated snapshot of the repo's tracked file layout |
ci/
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
| SONARQUBE.md | The SonarQube setup: project keys, how analysis runs, and how to read a report |
