The last leg of the Asset Bridge (docs/link/v8.md §16, phase 9c). The cutover put
protocol 8 on `main` in every declaration site, which turned this repo red by
construction: `checkFacts.mjs` reads the protocol from `link`'s `main`.
Two checks were failing, and only one of them was expected.
**checkFacts (10)** — protocol 7 → 8 in all three reads (sidecar, overlay, bundle),
the bundle triple to 2026.09.15 / sidecar v2.3.0 / overlay v1.3.0, and the releases
to link v2.3.0, installer v0.2.0, Module-uo v1.3.0. `moduleApi` and the capability
list did not move: core's whole share of eight phases was a deletion.
**checkReference (9)** — nobody had planned for this one. `Bridge.cfg` grew nine keys
across phases 5, 6 and 7 and the reference page had gone on not mentioning them,
which is the failure mode that check exists for. They are listed as two new groups,
`Client assets` and `Spawn files`, because they are two separate consents.
## The prose the bridge changed
- **New page, Administration → Client files.** `Admin → Client files` is a screen an
operator has to press a button on and the site had no page for it. It carries the
rule nothing else states: **nothing here happens on a restart**, so a patched client
keeps serving the old artwork until somebody says so.
- **Protocol versions** said the most recent bump touched five repositories and named
`website`. Protocol 8 touched four and did not reach core — its absence is the
interesting half, and the page now says why. The store-migration paragraph gains 8,
which changed no line of the sidecar's store despite moving megabytes.
- **The bridge** said "two ways in". There are three: bulk reads go over the
request/reply path in pages, one in flight at a time, and the reason they must not
ride the event stream is structural rather than about speed.
- **Requirements** gains `libgdiplus` for Linux shard hosts, and the note that no game
client has to be installed for any of this — a ServUO shard cannot boot without one.
- **Troubleshooting** gains the failure mode that did not exist before: a bestiary with
no pictures, or items reading as numbers.
- **Maintenance** gains the button to press after patching a client, and **Verify the
whole stack** the `doctor` check that landed with it.
- The spawn atlas and the marketplace both carry artwork now, so both capability
descriptions say so, and `canonicalDocs` points at `link/v8.md`.
## Screenshots, retaken against the real thing
The atlas and marketplace shots predate the asset plane, so both were retaken on the
demo deployment against a real shard and a real sidecar, plus the new admin screen:
1,095 portraits imported in 2.1 s, 67,496 names in 1.4 s, 313 item pictures in 0.8 s.
Nothing here is a mock-up. The atlas shot moved 36px down its page because portraits
made the rows taller.
## One defect found on the way
`seedDemo.mjs` pinned the demo deployment at **protocol 4** with a comment explaining
a `module-uo` debt that has since been paid. Its default now comes from
`platform.json`, so the rig cannot drift two protocols behind the platform again.

Phase 16c of the events plan: `runicgateway.com`'s half of the workstream, now
that `main` carries the engine, the module, the app and the bundle.
The checks were already red and named their own answers:
* `checkFacts` — nine values had moved. Protocol 5 → 7 in all three declaration
sites, `moduleApi` 1.9.0 → 1.10.0, the bundle to 2026.09.10 with sidecar
v2.2.0 and overlay v1.2.0, `link` v2.2.0, `Module-uo` v1.2.2.
* `checkReference` — twenty-seven `Bridge.cfg` keys the site listed nowhere: the
events switch and its sweep, the ten caps, the oracle NPC, the two lease keys
and the seven participation keys. They are five new groups rather than an
appendix to an existing one, because `EventsEnabled` is a second consent
switch and belongs beside its own ceilings.
Two pages, matching the treatment Teams has:
* **Scheduled events** (Administration) — where it is and who sees it, authoring
and immutable versions, the switchboard that arrives off, caps as a condition
on an `UPDATE` rather than a role check, the dry run, the run console, what an
event owns versus what it borrows, generated cleanup, the shard's own switches,
and what a player sees.
* **Events architecture** — the two sentences it turns on, what is a table and
what deliberately is not, budgets in SQL, the ledger's two rules, at-most-once
on a wire that can lose an answer, the three layers, and the four omissions.
And the rest of the surface:
* `/privacy` gains **`deploy-events`** — the participation ledger is personal
data and no row named it. Scores and ranks against a module-opaque member key,
linked to an account where one is linked; the diagnostic log swept after 90
days on terminal runs only; the run, its steps and its participants not swept
at all, because they are the record of what was done to a shared world.
`deploy-game-data`'s citation moves from `link/v4.md` to `v7.md`.
* **Protocol versions** — the most recent bump touched *five* repositories, and
the `website` row is the interesting one: core is normally out of a protocol
bump's reach and this one reached it, because what changed was not a game noun
but the shape of a thing core owns the ledger for. The store-migration
paragraph now says four bumps' worth rather than two.
* Two capability entries, so `/`, `/features/` and `/modules/` stop omitting the
subsystem — an Administration item, and an **Event calendar** under Community
with `/site/events` as its deep link. Deliberately *not* `needsModule`: a bare
core can author and run an event, and only the world verbs need a module.
* **`reference/event-catalog` is retitled "Shard event catalog"** and says what
it is not. Two things in the docs were called an event catalog; the route is
unchanged, so nothing outside this repository breaks.
* `canonicalDocs` gains `website/EVENTS.md` and moves `link/v4.md` → `v7.md`.
No screenshots. Capturing the events surfaces means standing the whole rig back
up — game server, sidecar, core, module, a published event with a live run — for
two or three images that no check requires, and the engagement workstream's own
site leg added none either.
`npm run verify` green end to end, including `checkReference` against the
protocol spec that only reached `docs` `main` in RunicGateway/docs#232 — the
seventh cutover step, which 16b had left on `edge`.

ENGAGEMENT.md Phase 14. The deploy-engagement entry in the collection
inventory said "Kept until the operator removes them; nothing here expires
on its own" and, in its detail, "the delivery log, the suppression list and
the per-person rate limits have no retention sweep, so they are as long as
the site is old". That was the true answer until Phase 14 landed a sweep,
and it is the kind of sentence a Play reviewer reads.
It now describes what the code does: a nightly sweep with an
operator-settable horizon per table (180 days for the delivery log, 30 for
the queue and the rate limits), and the two things that deliberately do NOT
expire — an item still waiting to be sent, because it is a message the site
still intends to deliver, and the suppression list, because ageing an entry
out would mean mailing an address that already bounced.
PLAY_DATA_SAFETY.md is unchanged and check:datasafety stays green:
deploy-engagement is deployment-scoped, and the Play answers are generated
from the app-scoped entries, because Play asks what the app collects rather
than what a self-hosted deployment keeps.
All ten checks green, 42 tests pass.

The three checks that read another repository -- checkFacts, checkQuickstart,
checkReference -- fetched source files from the API's `raw` route, which answers
`Cache-Control: public, max-age=21600`. The CDN in front of Gitea caches that,
so the checks can read a blob most of a working day old.
It bit on cutover day. checkFacts reported
FAIL moduleApi
platform.json says : 1.9.0
website main:server/src/modules/version.js says : 1.6.0
against a `main` that says 1.9.0 -- the served copy was two weeks old
(`cf-cache-status: HIT`, `Age: 15713`, `last-modified: 18 Aug`). No edit in this
repository could have made it pass, and the same run reported a bundle triple
that had already been republished as still current: a stale read fails BOTH
ways, and the false pass is the dangerous one.
The `contents` endpoint answers `private, must-revalidate`, which the CDN
bypasses, so it is always the ref's current blob. The cost is a JSON parse and a
base64 decode. checkReference's canonical-document existence loop already used
it, which is why that half was never affected.
PLAN.md 12 records the finding next to the check it constrains.

Phase 13 landed while this branch waited: link/servuo-plugins/website/Module-uo
are all on main, the bundle was republished at 2026.09.01, and Module-uo cut
v1.1.0. These are the four values PLAN.md 12 said could not be written until the
republish existed, plus the two releases that moved with it.
Every one is the value checkFacts.mjs itself reports as the authority's answer:
bundle.tag 2026.08.19 -> 2026.09.01
bundle.sidecar v2.0.0 -> v2.1.0
bundle.overlay v1.0.0 -> v1.1.0
releases.link v2.0.0 -> v2.1.0
releases.Module-uo v1.0.2 -> v1.1.0
verifiedOn 2026-08-19 -> 2026-09-01
No page hardcodes any of them -- every quote is an interpolation of
platform.bundle.* or platform.releases.*, so there is nothing else to re-read.
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Engagement Phase 12b. **This branch is deliberately red and must not be merged until the
Phase 13 cutover has landed link and servuo-plugins on `main` and CI has republished the
bundle.** checkFacts.mjs fetches every value from the source repo's `main`, so it fails
today exactly as designed:
FAIL protocol (sidecar) platform.json 5 link main 4
FAIL protocol (overlay) platform.json 5 servuo-plugins main 4
FAIL moduleApi platform.json 1.9.0 website main 1.6.0
FAIL protocol (bundle) platform.json 5 installer bundles:current.json 4
Every other check is green on this branch: checkLinks 2503, checkReference 22, checkA11y,
checkCsp, checkSidebar, 42 tests.
moduleApi is **1.9.0**, not the 1.7.0 the plan named -- Phase 11 moved it twice after that
sentence was written (1.8.0 for the `admin` ceiling, 1.9.0 for the module seed API).
## Also: the one page whose whole subject is the protocol number was the one page that
## hardcoded it
platform.json's own header says no version number is ever hardcoded in prose, and
`architecture/protocol-versions.mdx` had `4` written out three times -- the headline
sentence and both declaration-site rows. It now imports platform.json like every other
page that quotes a fact, so it moves with the JSON and cannot say 4 while the JSON says 5.
Note the interpolation is OUTSIDE the code spans: MDX does not evaluate an expression
inside backticks, so `PROTOCOL_VERSION: u32 = {platform.protocol}` would have rendered the
braces literally. Verified in the built HTML -- "currently 5", and no `platform.protocol`
survives anywhere in the output.
The same page's "what a bump obliges" section said version 4 was the first bump to need a
store migration, which read as though every bump does. v5 needed none (it only widens
frames the store already keeps whole -- docs link/v5.md), so the sentence now says which
did and which did not, and v5.md joins v4.md under canonical documents.
## The fill-in step, at merge time
Three values are not knowable today because the artefact does not exist yet. After the
bundle republishes, run:
GITEA_TOKEN=<token> node scripts/checkFacts.mjs
and copy what it prints in the "says" column into src/data/platform.json:
* bundle.tag, bundle.sidecar, bundle.overlay -- from installer bundles:current.json
* releases.Module-uo -- if the cutover cuts a new module release
* verifiedOn -- the date you ran it
Then re-read `getting-started/connect-a-game-server` and `administration/the-shard-connection`,
which quote the bundle, before merging. The check is green when all 19 agree.

Engagement Phase 12a. The site had pages for where a message goes (Notifications and
email) and what it says (Message templates), and nothing at all for what makes one get
sent -- the four Engagement screens the workstream built.
New page: Engagement rules. Rules, Audiences, the trigger catalog and the send log on
one page, sitting between the two it joins up. Templates already has its own page and
Suppressions is in Troubleshooting, so neither is repeated here.
Two things it exists to state plainly:
* Every rule ships disabled, including the ones a module brings. "Installed" is not
"on", and an upgrade whose Team mail went quiet is the same fact.
* The ceiling is a TREE, not a ladder. The tempting reading -- a staff-only event
could obviously also go to one person -- is wrong, and the example is the argument:
"one person" for cheat detection is the player it was detected on.
Troubleshooting gains the symptom that page answers ("nothing is sent for one
particular event"): the rule is off, the rule is dormant, its own cooldown held it, or
the audience is empty.
Privacy: two rows the engagement work makes necessary, and one sentence it made false.
* app-content claimed "Nothing is cached for offline use". Phase 8 shipped a DataStore
snapshot of the inbox, so it was untrue -- and that row feeds the generated Play Data
Safety answers, which is a store-review matter rather than a doc nit. The snapshot now
has its own row and its own Play mapping (Messages / Other in-app messages; not
collected by us, stored on the device), and app-content's claim is narrowed to
everything else.
* deploy-engagement, for the deployment scope: an address is now used for more than
getting into an account, there is a delivery log holding a one-way hash of it, and
there is a suppression list. Its retention line says what is true rather than what a
reader assumes -- none of these tables has a retention sweep.
PLAY_DATA_SAFETY.md regenerated from the inventory; legal.lastUpdated moved with the page
it dates.
Verified: the whole `verify` chain green -- checkSidebar (plannedSidebar moved with the
live tree), checkFacts 19/19, checkQuickstart 59, checkReference 22, checkLinks 2605,
checkA11y, checkCsp, playDataSafety --check, 42 + 7 tests. Read in a browser as well, in
the served build.

ENGAGEMENT.md §6.0b assigns this repo the operator-facing half of Phase 9
(website#176 + docs#191). Two new sections, split along the line that actually
matters when somebody reports it.
"One person stopped receiving email" is the suppression case, and the three
things an operator gets wrong about it: they can still reset their password
(suppression scopes to engagement rules only, so that is the expected shape of
the problem rather than a contradiction); Not sent, Bounced and Failed in the
Send Log mean three different things and only one of them is about your
configuration; and no row at all means they were excluded before anything was
queued, by an opt-in or by the verification gate.
"Everyone stopped receiving email at once" exists to stop the wrong reflex. A
whole-deployment stop is never the suppression list — a wrong password never
suppresses anybody, only the receiving server naming a specific dead mailbox
does — and it says so before an operator starts clearing rows.
Also notes that lifting a suppression asks for the full address because
addresses are stored one way, so it reads as the privacy design rather than a
missing feature.

Engagement Phase 7 gives the platform a third notification channel — an inbox
on the site itself — so `notifications-and-email.mdx` gains a section for it:
what it is, that it is the one channel on by default, that its body is always
plain text, and that the nightly prune takes read items only.
Two corrections in the same file, both of which were already false before this
phase and would have become misleading with it:
- "Who receives what" said push was opt-OUT. Push stream subscriptions have
always been opt-IN, and engagement Phase 3 made that explicit in the channel
registry. Rewritten as three defaults plus the Team mute that overrides all
three, and pointed at the preferences grid the same phase gave the web.
- `capabilities.mjs` claimed "Web, push and email … push arrives by default".
The web channel did not exist until now and push has never arrived by
default. Reworded to name the on-site inbox as the opt-out one.
The push section now says what a tickle raised by an engagement rule carries,
and that it is still only a pointer.

The Teams page gains the section engagement Phase 6 owes it. The operator-facing
fact is the one that has to land first: Team emails used to send with no
configuration and now arrive switched off, so nobody gets them until a rule is
turned on in Admin → Engagement → Rules.
Also says what each of the four seeded rules sends and why the two roster ones
ship off, that a rule decides whether the site sends at all while members still
choose per Team, why a digest is re-read at send time, and that unsubscribe links
in mail already sent still work — now stopping the emails they came with without
also silencing that Team's push.

The operator half of engagement Phase 5b, which 6.0b of ENGAGEMENT.md assigns to
this repo: what the Templates screen is for, how a shipped default is edited in
place without an upgrade taking the edit back, why variables are clicked rather
than typed, the two halves of every message, draft vs published, the preview and
its dark-mode approximation, test sends, duplicating to make a new template, and
the send log.
Written for someone running a site, not someone reading the design document: it
explains what to do and why the refusals exist, and names no version numbers - the
facts check reads authority from each repo's `main`, and none of this is there yet.

Engagement Phase 1's share of this repo (docs/website/ENGAGEMENT.md
§6.0b). Four pages described a delivery path that no longer exists — one
of them under the heading "There is no SMTP option", which is now the
opposite of true.
notifications-and-email.mdx: the Email section is rewritten around the
three postures the org lead settled on (§7.1 Q5), leading with a relay
and naming smtp.gmail.com:587 with an app password as the migration off
OAuth2. Two cautions carry the failures that produce no error at all —
Implicit TLS left on for port 587, which hangs, and an operator-typed
sender the relay will not accept, which is an SPF/DMARC rejection that
looks like nothing. Send test is what proves both.
troubleshooting.mdx gains those two, plus the enabled toggle, which now
gates every message rather than some of them.
configuration.mdx loses the "set up Google first" ordering constraint,
which is gone with the borrowed client. system-architecture.mdx's
encrypted-at-rest list is corrected: the Gmail refresh token is replaced
by the transport credentials, which are write-only like the sidecar
token.
This lands on `edge`, so nothing here is published while `main` still
carries the Gmail flow. platform.json and capabilities.mjs are untouched
— they belong to Phase 12.

All three links under "Documentation" pointed at /docs/. Three labels — Getting
started, Administration, Building a module — and one destination, which is the
docs home and also what the header's Docs link already opens.
They now land inside the section they name:
Getting started /docs/getting-started/requirements/
Administration /docs/administration/configuration/
Building a module /docs/modules/building-a-module/
The docs home stays the header's link rather than becoming a fourth route to the
same page.
Eleven checks and two suites could not see this, and the reason is worth keeping:
the bug is not a broken link. checkLinks resolves every internal href against the
build and /docs/ resolves — three links to a page that exists are three valid
links. checkSidebar compares the docs tree to the planned tree and never looks at
the footer. checkA11y checks structure, and three correctly marked-up anchors are
correct markup. Nothing asserted that a link goes where its label says.
So the columns move to src/data/footer.mjs, beside legal.mjs and collection.mjs,
and test/footer.test.mjs asserts it: every destination in a column distinct, no
destination repeated across columns, each documentation link inside its own
section prefix, none of them the docs home, and the two Project links still read
from the brand. A column list inside an .astro component cannot be imported by a
test, which is the whole reason for the move.
Verified by reintroducing the bug: the suite fails with "Administration points at
/docs/, which is not inside /docs/administration/". Restored, npm run verify is
green — 42 tests, eleven checks, and the built index.html renders three distinct
hrefs.

D55 bound the published port to 127.0.0.1, on the reasoning that TLS terminates
at a proxy on the same host and nothing else has business reaching the container.
That is right for the host this ends up on and wrong for every step before it: a
loopback binding cannot be opened from a browser on another machine, which is the
first thing an operator wants to do — look at the site on the VM's own address,
before DNS exists, before the proxy exists, from a desktop or a phone.
The port line is now "${SITE_BIND_ADDR:-0.0.0.0}:${SITE_HOST_PORT:-4321}:4321",
so http://<vm-ip>:4321 answers out of the box, the way a normal bridge publish
behaves. Which addresses it answers on is a variable rather than an edit:
SITE_BIND_ADDR narrows it to one interface, or back to loopback, without touching
a file that `docker compose pull` replaces. That also retires the "change the port
line yourself" instruction DEPLOY.md had to give a proxy running in another
container or on another machine.
What is given up, said plainly in DEPLOY.md §3.1: on a host with a public address
the default answers on port 4321 from the internet, plain HTTP beside the proxy's
443, with no proxy in the path to set X-Forwarded-For — so signups arriving that
way share one rate-limit bucket. There is no login and no secret behind it, so it
is untidy rather than dangerous, and both remedies are named (firewall the port,
or narrow the binding).
Verified by running it, not only by reading it: `docker compose config` accepts
both bindings and resolves host_ip 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 respectively; the stack
came up healthy, `docker compose port site 4321` reported 0.0.0.0:4321, and the
site answered 200 on both 127.0.0.1 and the machine's LAN address, still carrying
its own per-page CSP.
Recorded as D59, amending D55. Count of record fifty-nine.

The merge that landed phase 12 built its image and could not publish it.
`docker push` answered 413 Payload Too Large on one blob and stopped, so the
registry stayed empty and `needs: build` meant the deploy never ran — the site
was merged and undeployed, and the log said only that a digest was too large.
The limit is Cloudflare's, not Gitea's: the instance is proxied, and Cloudflare
refuses a request body over 100 MB below Enterprise. A push uploads each layer
as one monolithic PUT, so the ceiling is per layer and the rejection happens at
the edge, where Gitea never sees it and no Gitea setting can lift it.
One layer was over, by nine megabytes: COPY node_modules at 108.8 MB compressed,
in a 188.6 MB image whose next largest layer is the 47.6 MB Node base. @pagefind
and @img (sharp's libvips) account for it and both are needed at run time — the
boot rewrite re-indexes the site and re-derives the brand images — so what could
move is where they land, not whether they ship.
The build stage moves them aside after `npm prune` and the runtime stage copies
them as their own layers: 46.8 + 50.5 + 11.5 MB, and the image is exactly the
same total size, the same bytes divided differently. Moving rather than copying
twice keeps the three disjoint, so a dependency added later needs no maintenance
here.
A split is a margin and not a guarantee, so the workflow now counts layers before
it pushes: docker save, re-compress anything over 8 MB the way the push would,
fail at 90 MB — not 100, the blob is not the only thing in the request — naming
the layer and what would have happened. Tested in both directions; on the broken
image it reports 108 MB, which is what the registry recorded.
Verified by running the built container, not only by measuring it: healthy in
~25s, the mounted brand rewritten across 51 files, 50 pages re-indexed by
pagefind, and the favicon served as `x-brand-source: derived:mount` — which is
sharp resolving from its new layer. npm run verify is green, all eleven checks
and both suites.
Recorded as D58; DEPLOY.md gains the symptom and what it means for the host
(nothing — the running container is untouched).
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The image measures 757 MB, not the ~600 MB the requirements table guessed. And
until the rgcom runner exists the deploy job simply queues, which is worth stating
in both the workflow and DEPLOY.md: build has already published the image by then,
so the manual pull works throughout and the queued job goes when the runner does.

PLAN.md §13 phase 12, the last one. Four decisions of record, D54–D57, taking the
count to fifty-seven; recorded in §6, "How phase 12 delivered it".
A two-stage Dockerfile, a pull-only docker-compose.yml carrying both bind mounts,
.env.example, the workflow that publishes and deploys, CONTRIBUTING.md, the
community-health files this was the only repository of the ten to lack, and
DEPLOY.md.
D54 — a merge deploys, amending D6. build-image.yml pushes
runicgateway-site:latest and :sha-<7>, then rolls the container over on the
`rgcom` runner out of /opt/runicgateway.com, and waits for the container's own
healthcheck rather than for `up -d` to return.
D55 — the site runs on its own host behind a generic reverse proxy, so DEPLOY.md
states the four requirements rather than one worked example, and the container
binds 127.0.0.1 so the safe configuration is the default.
D56 — @astrojs/node derives the request protocol from req.socket.encrypted and
never reads x-forwarded-proto, so behind a TLS-terminating proxy the browser sends
Origin: https://… while the container computes http://… and Astro's CSRF check
compares them for equality. Every beta signup, from every visitor, was answered
403. serve.mjs now normalises both forwarded headers, unconditionally — the image
should deploy and work. Two assertions in test/headers.test.mjs hold both halves.
D57 — DEPLOY.md rather than a README section; SECURITY.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
are pointers to the org's copies rather than copies, because a copy would hard-code
the contact address D13 confines to brand.json.
Verified: npm run verify green (eleven checks, 36 unit tests, 7 served tests,
astro check 0 errors). The image was built and run with both mounts — a mounted
brand reached 51 files and all 50 search pages, /brand/* fell back per file, a
proxy-shaped signup reached the store, and the export CLI wrote both Play files to
the host mount. docker compose config caught a YAML trap in the healthcheck: a
block sequence reads the `: ` in `r.ok ? 0 : 1` as a mapping.

The checks were green before this phase started and are green now. What found
anything was the part no script does: fifty pages at three widths in a real
browser, a signup walked against its store, and a full brand mount applied and
restarted.
D51 — the chrome and the head follow the mount; the consent sentence does not.
With a complete brand.json mounted, forty-nine pages came back rebranded and
/beta did not. applyBrand.mjs rewrites files in dist/client and /beta renders
per request, so its HTML never exists as a file to rewrite; liveBrand() was
there for exactly that and was used for betaOptInUrl alone. Everything around
the form — title, OG tags, header lockup, footer Source and Discord links —
came from the shared chrome, and the shared chrome was baked. renderBrand()
picks by Astro.isPrerendered, in one place, so the other forty-nine keep taking
the value the boot rewrite will replace. CONSENT_TEXT stays a constant: it is
stored verbatim in a person's row, so following a mounted name would change the
recorded text of a consent already given.
D52 — the documentation half gets phase 10's skip-link fix. Starlight's skip
link targets the page <h1>, which is no more focusable than the <main> phase 10
fixed, so following it moved the viewport and not the focus on forty pages. A
PageTitle override adds tabindex="-1".
D53 — no twelfth check. The external-link sweep (73 of 74 alive) and the
brand-mount walk stay throwaway scripts: one would make the build depend on
other people's uptime and the other needs Chrome on the runner.
Also recorded and deliberately not fixed: Starlight's heading anchor links
measure under 24px at 390, and are exempt under SC 2.5.8's Equivalent clause
because the mobile table of contents links to every one of the same anchors.
npm run verify green — fourteen steps, both suites, all eleven checks.

PLAN.md §13 phase 10, with four decisions of record — D47-D50, taking the count
to fifty. Three were straightforward; the CSP turned into the phase's real work,
because the thing meant to be a configuration flag was broken in a dependency and
broken silently.
D47 — search reaches the marketing pages, and the header gets a box.
Base.astro marks its <main> as a Pagefind body, so all ten join the index the
docs already query, and Search.astro opens it in a <dialog>. Nothing is fetched
until the dialog is opened (the bundle is 120 kB and these pages otherwise ship
almost no JavaScript). Pagefind titles a result from the first <h1>, and these
pages have editorial ones — "The app for a deployment you already use" — so the
index is given the page's short name instead. applyBrand.mjs now re-indexes after
a rewrite, closing a note phase 2 left for this phase.
D48 — the CSP is a real response header, sent by the container. Not a <meta>,
which ignores frame-ancestors, and not advice for someone's reverse proxy, which
puts the strictest promise in §6 outside what this repo tests. Three things
fought it, all the same shape — correct build, broken page, no error:
* Astro does not hash <script is:inline>, and Starlight ships six per docs
page, so the first build with CSP on had a strict header and a dead theme
switcher. The hashes are now generated into src/config/cspHashes.mjs and
checkCsp.mjs verifies every inline block against its own page's policy.
* Expressive Code writes ~3,700 inline style ATTRIBUTES, which cannot be
hashed, hence style-src-attr 'unsafe-inline' — scoped to that directive, so
script-src is untouched.
* @astrojs/node matched a request to a policy with pathname.includes(), a
substring test: /modules/ was served /docs/modules/building-a-module's
policy and rendered with its own stylesheet refused. scripts/serve.mjs keeps
the same _headers.json and matches by equality; test/headers.test.mjs starts
the server and reads the responses, because nothing that reads dist/ can see
this.
D49 — robots.txt allows everything and names the sitemap (there was no way to
find it: no robots.txt, and D9 rules out a search console). D50 — Organization
and SoftwareApplication, no ratings and no docs-wide Article markup.
checkA11y.mjs is the eleventh check: seven structural rules over all fifty pages,
verified by breaking each in turn. The walk at 390/768/1280 found no overflow
anywhere, the CSP violations above, a 17x17 consent checkbox (WCAG 2.2 SC 2.5.8
wants 24), and a skip link that moved the scroll but not the focus.
npm run verify is green: fourteen steps, both test suites, all eleven checks.

The org lead signed a character into the shard by hand — the step automation
could not reach — so shard-status and app-shard were retaken. The shard page
now reads 1 player online in Britain, and the app's card agrees.
Two things worth noticing in the retake. Presence reaches the public page as
counts and regions rather than names, which is the visibility framework working
unprompted. And the guild board's online column did not move: it refreshes only
when a guild's signature changes, which is the stale-roster defect wearing a
different hat.
A sixth defect, visible in the shipped phone capture: the app interpolates a
count into a fixed plural and says "1 players online". Raised, not fixed —
it wants a plurals resource in the app.

D4 asked for screenshots of the review stack rather than placeholders. Seventeen
of them: eleven of the site in a browser, six of the app on a phone, all from one
demo deployment wired to a running ServUO shard over a real sidecar, captured on
one day (D42).
The deployment is branded "Runic Gateway Demo" rather than a real community (D43),
and the captures sit beside the claims they support — the homepage, /features/, and
five of the administration pages phase 7 could describe but not show (D44).
The rig is committed rather than remembered (D45):
scripts/seedDemo.mjs content, by driving the site's own API — never SQL,
because a row the product could not have produced is
a screenshot of a product that does not exist
src/data/screens.mjs every capture: route, viewport, scroll, alt, caption
scripts/captureScreens.mjs npm run screens:capture
scripts/checkScreens.mjs the ninth check script, in CI
Shard-side dressing is servuo-plugins' scaffolding (D46), never deployed.
The rig found five things nothing else had. One is fixed upstream — a fresh
module-uo install pinned wire protocol 3 against a sidecar speaking 4, released as
v1.0.2, which this repo's own facts check then caught in platform.json. Four are
raised as product observations and worked around in the rig: a renamed guild
member never reaches the site, a guild deleted while the shard is down is a ghost
row forever, "Houses in danger" cannot show a house that was already collapsing,
and the app's news list prints raw ISO timestamps.
Players online reads 0. Logging a character in needs a UO client driven by hand,
and that is where this stopped — PLAN.md §10 says exactly why, and how to retake
the two frames that would change.

Twenty pages completing the tree section 10 planned: Modules (8), Architecture
(5) and Reference (7). Four decisions, D38-D41, recorded in PLAN.md section 10.
D39 is the one that shaped the phase. Section 1 forbids re-specifying a
contract, and a Reference section is exactly where that rule is most tempting to
break, so the line is drawn at names: every environment variable, config key,
installer command, visibility rung and canonical document is listed with one
terse line saying what it is FOR, while shapes, semantics and every "why" stay
in the canonical document.
That is only safe because the names are checked. checkReference.mjs compares six
enumerations against the repositories that own them, over the Gitea API, as set
comparisons in BOTH directions -- and the second direction is the one that earns
its keep, because a reference page does not usually rot by describing something
that vanished, it rots by quietly not mentioning what was added since.
The check went green on its first run, which is the least trustworthy possible
outcome, so it was verified by breaking it: seven mutations, all caught. The one
worth keeping is the visibility ladder REORDERED with its membership unchanged
-- it is a security boundary, and a set comparison alone would have passed it.
D41 turns plannedSidebar from a checklist into a checked invariant, and finding
out why was the phase's first defect: it had already drifted, because phase 7
added the Content page under D37 and never updated the list. Nothing failed,
because nothing read it. checkSidebar.mjs now asserts the two trees agree on
groups, labels and order -- order because the order of Getting started IS the
installation path.
Two more things the writing found. PLAN.md's page count was wrong and had been
since section 10 was written ("roughly 38, 37 planned" for a tree of forty).
And module.json's `mounts` and the SPA's paths are different mechanisms that no
single document stated plainly -- module-uo declares admin: ["/shard",
"/uo-link"] while its screen lives at /admin/uo/link, because API routes are
deliberately NOT namespaced while SPA routes are. That is precisely the
distinction the installer got wrong in v0.1.0, and it now has a named home.
D40: the docs link to /architecture/'s drawn diagrams rather than importing
them. Those components carry marketing chrome and depend on diagram.css, which
Starlight does not load; the docs use text diagrams, which paste into an issue.
npm run verify green: 40 pages across 5 groups agree with plannedSidebar, 2390
internal links resolve, 123 repository links point at a branch, 19 facts, 59
quickstart checks, 22 reference enumerations, astro check 0 errors, 36 tests.

Recovering installer's orphan tag published v0.1.1, which moved the platform
under this branch and turned checkFacts red -- the check working exactly as it
should, since a version this site quotes had changed.
FAIL release installer
platform.json says : v0.1.0
installer releases/latest says : v0.1.1
The 500 that orphaned the tag was a race with the tag push one second earlier,
not a structural failure: re-running the workflow took the built-in orphan-tag
recovery path and published all four assets unchanged.
So the stale-path Aside stops saying "v0.1.0 is still the current download",
which is no longer true, and says the durable thing instead -- v0.1.0 prints
the old path, v0.1.1 prints the real one -- which stays correct however many
releases follow. platform.json and the PLAN.md version table move to v0.1.1,
and the phase 7 findings record the pipeline defect as a fourth finding.

The three defects phase 7 found are fixed and merged: website#163
(SECRET_ENC_KEY missing from the root .env.example, plus BOT_INTERNAL_KEY in
the README's "set at least" list) and installer#22 + docs#174 (the handoff
printing /admin/shard).
website#163 turned checkQuickstart red here, which is precisely what the
declaration was built to do -- it fails the moment a declared key appears
upstream, so the note describing the omission cannot outlive the defect. The
SECRET_ENC_KEY entry is deleted and notInUpstreamEnvExample is now empty; the
export stays so the next divergence gets an entry rather than passing quietly.
The stale-path Aside on Connect a game server is pinned to v0.1.0 rather than
calling the installer permanently wrong, and now says WHY the old path is worse
than a 404: the SPA has no route for it, so it redirects to the dashboard and
the link looks like it worked.
v0.1.0 is still the current download, and not only because releases lag. The
release run for installer#22 built every artifact and pushed tag v0.1.1, then
took a 500 creating the release -- so the tag is orphaned and no binaries were
published. Raised on installer; nothing is worked around here.
This also recovers 084ee0b, which was pushed to feat/phase-7-docs after PR #10
had already merged f499f2b, and so never reached main.

Twenty documentation pages: Getting started (7) and Administration (13), the
journey no existing document owns end to end because the repositories are
organised by component and an operator is not.
Four decisions of record, taken before anything was written (D34–D37, PLAN.md
§10 "How phase 7 built the documentation journey"):
- D34 one PR for all twenty pages.
- D35 the install page is SELF-CONTAINED: it prints a complete Compose file and
a complete .env that an operator copies without visiting another repository.
That is a copy of somebody else's file, so it is checked rather than trusted —
scripts/checkQuickstart.mjs re-reads website main:docker-compose.yml and
main:.env.example over the Gitea API and fails on any disagreement, in both
directions: a value that drifts fails, and a service or variable that appears
upstream fails until it is either included or recorded as deliberately omitted
with a reason. Its first run found two stale entries.
- D36 every Administration screen was walked on a real deployment before it was
described — the rig being the quickstart itself, against the published image,
so one run proved the install page and produced the detail the admin pages
needed.
- D37 a thirteenth Administration page, Content, so that every admin nav row has
a home without organising the docs by the app's menu.
What the live deployment disproved, all three now documented:
- The documented Compose deploy does not boot. SECRET_ENC_KEY is required in
production (utils/secretBox.js throws at require time) and is missing from
website's ROOT .env.example — the file Compose reads. It is present in
server/.env.example, which is why dev never hits it. The quickstart carries it,
declared as an upstream omission so the check fails the day it is fixed.
- The installer points operators at a screen that no longer exists: it prints
<site>/admin/shard, and INSTALL.md §5 repeats it, but since the module cutover
the screen is /admin/uo/link. Both the binary and the guide are stale.
- The admin Restart button opens a window.confirm whose text is the honest
warning that a deployment with no supervisor does not come back — which is why
`restart: unless-stopped` is called out as load-bearing rather than left as
boilerplate.
And the defect only a look found, three phases running: the .env block's prose
promised that every highlighted line must be changed, while `mark` given the
variable names highlighted the names alone and left the values unmarked. Every
check passed on a page that was wrong about its own highlighting.
verify green: 890 internal links, 52 branch links, 19 facts, 59 quickstart
checks, 0 astro-check errors.

PLAN.md §9. Builds /privacy and /terms, links them from the footer on every page,
and generates the Play Data Safety notes from the same inventory the policy renders.
Four decisions taken by the org lead before either page was written, recorded in
§9 under "How phase 6 built the legal pages":
D30 DNS-only records, so the reverse proxy on the host keeps the only access
log. Described qualitatively — the retention belongs to the proxy, and a
policy that quotes a number the deployment does not enforce is worse than
one that does not.
D31 Eighteen or older. Above the children's-consent threshold everywhere in the
EEA, so consent works with no parental-consent machinery this form could not
honestly operate. Four surfaces render it from src/data/legal.mjs, and every
one says plainly that nothing verifies it.
D32 No governing-law clause. Nothing of value is contracted for here.
D33 PLAY_DATA_SAFETY.md is generated from src/data/collection.mjs and checked in
CI, so the published policy and the answers given to Google cannot drift.
/privacy is three separately-scoped sections because "we" means three different
parties: this site (one form, no cookies, no third-party requests), the Android app
(we operate no server it talks to — the rows are what the DEVICE holds), and a
self-hosted deployment (the operator is the controller, not us). Every row names the
file it was read out of, because a policy is the document most likely to be written
from a template and least likely to be re-read against the software.
/terms governs only what we run: this site, the beta list, and the APK we publish.
The software is governed by its licence, and a community's deployment by that
community — a terms page claiming authority over every install of a GPL program is
the thing a generated template gets wrong.
Also here:
- the age clause changed CONSENT_TEXT, so CONSENT_VERSION gained a suffix; rows
written from now on carry the new sentence and older rows keep theirs
- PLANNED_ROUTES is now empty — these were its last two entries, and its reverse
check is what forced the deletion; the list stays for phases 7 and 8
- test/legal.test.mjs asserts the structural promises no build check can see,
including that every mapped Play row still answers "not collected, not shared"
- --check normalises line endings: the repo has no .gitattributes and Windows
checkouts are CRLF, so a byte comparison would fail for every Windows developer
while passing in CI
Verified: npm run verify green end to end (tokens, brand, data safety, astro check,
36 tests, build, 214 links, 19 facts), both pages walked in a browser, and neither
overflows at 390px. One defect the checks could not see and a look could: the
retention line was being pushed to the foot of the tallest card in its row, opening
a void in the middle of the short ones.
