Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.
Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:
127 live docs = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
104 stamped here
19 held operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
3 held the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
1 untouched docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1
Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.
Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:
1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
(title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
`status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.
2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
(docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
itself. Raised in the worklist.
A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.
Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.

# Developer Guide
|
|
|
|
> **Status:** Partially migrated. Architecture, lease-broker verification, and channel-adapter authoring pages are current; other contributor chapters remain unmigrated.
|
|
|
|
This book is the canonical home for architecture, package and application guides, local development, testing, contribution workflow, and integration authoring. User-facing procedures belong in [`USER-GUIDE/`](../USER-GUIDE/); operator procedures belong in [`ADMIN-GUIDE/`](../ADMIN-GUIDE/); API contracts belong in [`API/`](../API/).
|
|
|
|
## Start here
|
|
|
|
- [Documentation atlas](../README.md) — placement rules and source-of-truth boundaries.
|
|
- [Architecture index](architecture/README.md) — current architecture chapter scaffold.
|
|
- [Documentation audit](../reports/documentation/2026-08-10-docs-catalog-audit.md) — evidence-based migration inventory.
|
|
- [Product requirements](../PRD.md) — normative requirements, currently marked draft.
|
|
|
|
## Chapter map
|
|
|
|
| Chapter | Scope | Status |
|
|
| ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| [`architecture/`](architecture/README.md) | System model, components, data flow, security model, ADRs, and RFCs. | Partially migrated. |
|
|
| `packages/` | Package- and application-level contracts and guides. | Scaffold only. |
|
|
| `local-development/` | Safe local setup and development routes. | Scaffold only. |
|
|
| `testing/` | Test strategy, verification, and quality gates. | Lease-broker verification boundary is current. |
|
|
| `contributing/` | Contribution, review, and delivery workflow. | Scaffold only. |
|
|
| `integrations/` | Plugin, provider, and adapter authoring. | Channel-adapter authoring boundary is current. |
|
|
|
|
### Current contributor pages
|
|
|
|
- [Lease-broker operations and verification](testing/lease-broker-operations.md) — safe static/test commands plus explicitly held live operations.
|
|
- [Channel adapters](integrations/channel-adapters.md) — current shared contracts and Discord reference boundary; future adapter parity is draft.
|
|
|
|
Every promoted page must be added to this index and to [`SITEMAP.md`](../SITEMAP.md) in the same migration slice.
|
|
|
|
## Migration backlog — not current developer guidance
|
|
|
|
These are source candidates or stale records, not verified current instructions:
|
|
|
|
- [`archived TUI PRD`](../archive/tui/PRD-TUI_Improvements.md) — contradicted/stale; it references a missing `packages/cli`, while current TUI code is under `packages/mosaic`.
|
|
- [`archived TUI task ledger`](../archive/tui/TASKS-TUI_Improvements.md) — historical task ledger; its status and worktree claims require revalidation.
|
|
- `_old_structure/guides/dev-guide.md` — quarantined historical source; verify paths and commands before promotion. See the [documentation catalog](../reports/documentation/2026-08-10-docs-catalog-audit.md) for its disposition.
|
|
|
|
Do not make a legacy or archived page current by linking it from a chapter as if it were already promoted.
|
|
|
|
## Authoring boundary
|
|
|
|
New developer documentation belongs under one of the chapter directories above. Architecture decisions and RFCs must identify their status and authority; executable behavior must be checked against current code and tests.
