wtclaude be7e1a69ce docs(website): the spawn atlas API, the admin panel, and the delay-unit trap
Docs half of website #113 (Protocol 3.0 Part C, second website PR).

Carries the atlas rewrite that missed #67: that PR merged before the "derive
from the tree on every boot" commit was pushed, so `edge` currently describes
the build/import-artifact design that was rejected in review, not what shipped
in website #112. It lands here.

New in SPAWN_ATLAS.md: the six public routes and five admin ones, and three
behaviours that read as bugs unless they are written down — an unreadable tree
answers 200 with status "unavailable" rather than 500 (refresh reports outcomes
so boot is never blocked by a bad tree, and the contract is preserved at the
API), setting the ServUO path deliberately does not import, and `points` is a
count while `spawners` is the list.

Also the delay-unit trap: XmlSpawner stores MinDelay/MaxDelay in minutes OR
seconds per record, decided by that record's own DelayInSec flag, so a `5` is
five minutes on one spawner and five seconds on the next. Both are plausible
respawn times, which is what makes it silent. 170 of 6,455 stock spawners are
second-flagged. And PARSER_VERSION, which exists because hashing the tree alone
would strand an install whose maps never change on whatever an older parser
derived.

BACKEND_DESIGN.md gains the routes, the router-map entry, and the parser-version
rule. v3.md marks Part C done and records in 6.3 what the API half found.

api-route-inventory.json refreshed from the live manifest — it had drifted to
200 routes before this PR (real count was 204) and is now 215.

Provenance

  • website/* was extracted from RunicGateway/website via git filter-repo.
  • link/* was extracted from RunicGateway/link via git filter-repo.

Commit history and authorship for each doc are preserved. The two source repos retain a short pointer to this repo in their own READMEs; the authoritative copy of each document now lives here.
