The leg the first commit named as still owed is walked. Module-uo#34 cut v1.2.1, so the module could arrive the way an operator's does: core fetched the release MANIFEST over https from the allowlisted host, verified its sha256, and mounted it; the four values the installer printed then produced `status: connected`, `pluginConnected: true`, `protocol: 7`. Released core, released module, released sidecar, released overlay. That rig confirmed both Phase 16a fixes in the shipped artefacts rather than in a working tree -- the atlas imports off a stock tree, and a world verb's teardown leaves the shard answering `owned: [], pruned: 0`, which is the check the no-op teardown hid behind. It also found two more defects, both in the released bundle (Module-uo#35). The aggregator discarded the UniqueId, so `uo.options.spawners` was empty and no Phase 12b property lease was authorable at all -- while `PARSER_VERSION = 4`'s own note said a point keeps that field and named Phase 12b as the reason. And a landmark option value named 23 places at once: 558 landmarks under 320 distinct `facet/name`, resolved by `.find()`, so an author who picked "Entrance - Destard" got Blighted Grove with a successful run and no warning. Both are recorded as one class, because that is the useful part: an option source that answers empty, or answers with a value that does not identify one thing, disables a feature silently. Nothing errors; the form simply cannot express the thing, and a test that checks the parser, or the query, or the column in isolation passes throughout. Diff is 45/6, content only -- no CRLF rewrite (checked against --numstat).

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_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 |

| 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, shipped 2026-09-01 as bundle 2026.09.01 (sidecar v2.1.0 + overlay v1.1.0) |
| 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 | 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 | 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 |

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 |
