wtclaude cc6775e20b docs(events): Phase 0 — the eleven decisions, and the two documents they reach into
Closes the second half of EVENTS_PLAN.md Phase 0. All of EVENTS.md §N1–N11 were
answered by the org lead on 2026-09-01, before any code, which lifts the ⚠ gate
from P11 and P12 and unblocks P1.

Nine went the way §N recommended. Two did not, and each changes a phase:

- N2 — publishing a version and starting a run are `admin` only; a moderator
  keeps live control of a run already in flight (cancel, abort) and nothing
  more. Start and stop are deliberately not the same gate: starting commits the
  deployment to everything a definition contains, unattended, while cancelling
  is incident response. §K's table and the API surface table are updated, and
  P3 and P6 carry it.
- N4 — this deployment is single-instance and not planned to change, so P2 does
  not build the `--scale app=2` test. Every claim path in §E is built exactly as
  specified regardless — the unique index and the CAS equally protect a tick
  that overruns into the next one, and the lease and its reclaim recover a step
  whose process died mid-dispatch. §E records what to build first if this
  deployment is ever scaled.

N1 was taken in full, item grants included, which is a reversal of two separate
lines in ADMIN_CONTROLS.md §8 rather than one. §8's cut list names "item/gold
grants" explicitly and separately from world building, so the new §8a amendment
says both out loud rather than letting the grant ride along on the creation
reopening. §8's bullet is left standing verbatim — it is the decision that was
actually taken — with a pointer to the amendment, and §1's thesis paragraph gets
the same pointer. Loot-table changes and arbitrary [set / [get / [add stay
permanently excluded, along with the rest of the Tier-H moderation verbs.

N3 gives ENGAGEMENT.md §7.1 Q6's "no evaluator yet" an owner: the Event System
runner becomes the `kind: 'scheduled'` evaluator, built in that workstream's P2.
Nothing in the engagement contract changes.

One consequence was derived rather than decided and is flagged for review:
POST /admin/events/:id/verify moves to `admin, editor` rather than staying with
`start`. A dry run dispatches nothing, and the author who wrote the definition
is who should price it against the caps before asking an admin to publish.

Verified: every relative link and anchor in the four touched files resolves,
including the renamed §N anchor (#n--decisions) and the new #8a. The docs repo
has no CI workflow, so the plan's "docs CI link check" was run by hand.

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)
MARKETPLACE.md The player-vendor index: how it is gathered, what it costs, how to tune it
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
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)
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
APP_LINKS.md Android App Links / deep-link setup
theme-plan.md Theming plan
THEMING_AND_NAV.md The app's half of admin-configurable theming and navigation — build contract
TRUSTED_DEVICES_APP_HANDOFF.md Trusted-devices app handoff notes
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
