History / Documentation standards house style

Revisions

  • Mark Codec design committed and the house style an index - The codec is built on main, and the page describes it as built; it points at the message reference and the audit page - The house style holds rules for writing pages, as its parent does, and Home already lists it as an index

  • Name messages by opcode after the neutral rename No old message name exists in the code since bootstrap 86b7f28, so pages name each message by its opcode and describe it only where what it does is established: milestone one's table, the crowd-control pair, the codec's example and errata, the facts check's table, the irregular shapes. House style states the rule. Re-verified against 86b7f28, run 38851638578, 215 of 215.

  • Set the documentation format for building out the core Documentation-standards gains a system's page set (design, explanation hub, references, guides), generated reference for the code's registries, a Where the code lives table on every page with a ref badge and none on index pages, a path-based re-verify check, Home by area past twenty pages, and the three kinds of reader. Server-core-design gains the systems table that points at each system's current page. House style names messages with their opcode beside them. Home drops its ref badge; Running-the-tests, Codec-design and Roadmap gain their code tables.

  • Bring the core design up to one world, the gateway and public hosting Server-core-design takes the new names (message queue, gateway, write-behind queue, AOI, conflation, handoff, TCC), one world with no layering, routing by an opcode table with priorities, rate limits and kill switches, the realm as modules, pooled and dedicated map threads, tick and update interval per instance type, sleeping cells, AOI tiers, the gateway's login exchange, the hardened client ports, the two unsent-bytes limits, the write-behind sequencer and load workers, the private pack, the portal's recovery and source link, and a Hosting section. Roadmap drops public hosting from out of scope and states one world and public hosting as goals.

  • Carry over the documentation standards and house style - Adapt the status ladder and the ref badge to what's built on bootstrap and main. - Switch the wiki's commit format to the repository's: imperative headline, blank line.
