A2 Wasp Warfare Developer Wiki

Developer documentation for rayswaynl/a2waspwarfare, an Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead 1.64 Warfare / CTI mission and server ecosystem.

This page is the front door. It should help you choose the right owner page quickly, not repeat the whole wiki.

Start Here

If you are...	Open first	Then
New human developer	Quickstart	Architecture overview, Mission entrypoints, SQF code atlas
New player / commander	Commander's Handbook	Upgrade costs, Unit/vehicle roster
AI assistant / LLM	LLM agent entry pack	llms.txt, agent-entrypoint.json, agent-context.json, AI assistant guide
Current work reviewer	Progress dashboard	agent-status.json, agent-collaboration.json, Agent worklog
Feature or bug triager	Feature status register	Dead/stale code register, Pending owner decisions
Gameplay implementer	Gameplay systems atlas	Construction/CoIn, Factory/purchase, Server runtime
Public-server hardening owner	Hardening roadmap	Server authority map, PVF dispatch playbook, Testing workflow
Upstream/community archaeologist	Community & Dev	Miksuu wiki import, Developer history, Upstream commit intel
Docs/platform maintainer	Navigation inventory	Wiki pruning ledger, Knowledge platform roadmap, Wiki mirror plan

Non-Negotiables

Rule	Why it matters
Source gameplay edits start in Missions/[55-2hc]warfarev2_073v48co.chernarus.	This is the source mission.
Treat Missions_Vanilla as maintained generated/copy output.	Propagate with Tools/LoadoutManager; do not hand-edit drift unless a release owner says so.
Treat Modded_Missions as divergent/stubbed unless tooling proves otherwise.	Current generation/package paths do not actively maintain those folders.
Use Arma 2 OA 1.64 scripting references.	Arma 3 assumptions are a common source of bad fixes.
Check Progress dashboard before claiming work.	It prevents duplicate Codex/Claude/agent lanes.
Keep docs/wiki and the GitHub wiki mirror in sync.	Humans use the wiki; agents use the repo mirror.

Current Work

Surface	Use it for
Progress dashboard	Human-readable current lanes, July update queue and recent published batches.
agent-status.json	Compact machine snapshot of active/watchlist/code-owner lanes.
agent-collaboration.json	Current claim/ownership surface. Historical lanes live in the worklog and event stream.
agent-events.jsonl	Append-only coordination events.
Agent worklog	Dated narrative notes and historical batch detail.

Validation

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File docs\validate-wiki.ps1

After meaningful docs or machine-file edits, also parse touched JSON/JSONL files, mirror touched wiki files, inspect diffs and keep gameplay source unchanged unless Steff explicitly asks for a code patch.

Navigation Notes

• Persistent navigation is in _Sidebar.md.
• Shared footer navigation is in _Footer.md.
• Page-status and hidden/support-page classification lives in Navigation inventory.
• Bloat, merge, archive and relevance decisions live in Wiki pruning and relevance ledger.
• The long-term docs platform recommendation lives in Knowledge platform roadmap.
