History / Explanation Choosing between FalcoInstance and InstanceContainer

  • docs: restructure the wiki along Diátaxis Seven pages carried all four modes at once. Anvil-Chunk-Loader opened with status, ran through usage, architecture, a comparison, measured tables and error handling in one file; Light-Engine, Benchmarking, Installation, Instances-And-Chunks and World-Migration had the same shape. Every paragraph was correct and no reader was ever in all four states at once. The four quadrants are now separate pages, encoded in the title because that is the only structure a wiki preserves: 1 tutorial, 10 how-tos, 9 reference pages, 15 explanation pages. Project-Status and the Research pages stay outside the four on purpose — they are the operational record, not documentation of the software — and so does the build documentation. Three things the split fixed rather than moved: - There was no tutorial anywhere. Tutorial-Load-your-first-world-with-Falco is the one guided path: empty Gradle project to a served world with light, one path, no alternatives. - Reference existed only as prose embedded in explanation. The nine pages now carry generator banners naming the source in the code repository, so the next step is a generator and a CI drift gate rather than proofreading. Reference-Exceptions-and-faults says outright that it is incomplete: the two Reason enums declare eleven constants and the wiki ever recorded two. - The measured tables were published twice. The four charts lived only in Benchmarking, their tables only in Measured-Results, and _Footer.md carried a rule about which source wins — the symptom, not the cure. The charts now sit with their tables on Reference-Measured-results and the duplicate block is gone; every figure in it was verified present first. Same for the reproduction command lines, which stood in two pages. Prose was moved, not rewritten. What is not carried over is the intros and tables of contents of the dissolved pages, and the duplicated headline block. All 195 cross-page links, their anchors and their link texts were rewritten to the new titles; nothing dangles. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
