The client half's move: 35 files / 5,332 lines (the table said 51 / ~3,700 and is corrected, not re-derived to match). The seven-kit-members-plus-format claim held exactly, so the kit needed no additions. Contract, 1.2.0 -> 1.3.0, all additive: `icon` on a nav item, a third slot `player.invite.accepted`, and `api.BASE` — which §3.5 specified from the first draft and shared.js had never published, because nothing needed it until a module had to build an EventSource URL. §2.3's narrowing note said game-signup policy was core's business. It was wrong in both directions: the setting's help text names Bridge.cfg, and slice 1 had shipped a controller calling a function the narrowing does not expose, so POST /player/shard/account answered 500 for every caller until this slice. §3.7 gains the rule the invite slot needed: core may ask whether a slot is filled when the answer changes CONTROL FLOW, never when it changes decoration. Decoration goes inside `<Slot wrap>` — that is the footer-separator bug. §7.7 gains what running it against the real module found, rather than a throwaway: the unguarded portal icon, the relative-MODULES_DIR trap, and the two operational notes (a module needs its own npm ci; copy the directory, never symlink it). Also recorded: the nav-override cost is worse than "a hidden row may reappear" — the review instance had the nine UO rows gathered into a dropdown section, and the whole section is lost. And `api-route-inventory.json` was a slice stale at 228 routes; refreshed to the 158 core actually serves. 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.
