Register shard-wiki capabilities (7 wiki.* registry entries)
Adds capability.wiki.{shard-orchestration, adapter-contract, page-model,
coordination-journal, overlay, federation-models, engine-typed-extensions}
with honest D/A/C/R maturity vectors, relations, and shard-wiki spec/test
evidence; updates registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml. reuse-surface validate: ok.

id: capability.wiki.shard-orchestration
name: Wiki Shard Orchestration
summary: Present a union of pages across heterogeneous wiki-shaped shards while preserving each shard's provenance, capabilities, and history.
owner: shard-wiki
status: draft
domain: helix_forge
tags: [wiki, federation, orchestration, union, shard-wiki]
maturity:
discovery:
current: D5
target: D6
confidence: high
rationale: >
Grounded in 84 documented use cases and a twice-reviewed whole-system
architecture (CoreArchitectureBlueprint) derived from ~23 prior-art systems.
availability:
current: A2
target: A5
confidence: medium
rationale: >
InformationSpace orchestrator (attach -> resolve -> read, chorus on
ambiguity) works as a Python source module; network API and incremental
union are planned.
external_evidence:
completeness:
level: C2
name: Partial
confidence: medium
basis: scope_vs_intent_and_consumer_expectations
satisfied_expectations:
- attach folder shards and read a union page with layered provenance
- chorus presentation of equivalent-but-divergent pages (union without erasure)
broken_expectations:
- incremental union maintenance and equivalence index not yet built
- write-through federation transports not yet built
out_of_scope_expectations:
- hosting or replacing the underlying wiki engines
reliability:
level: R1
confidence: low
basis: consumer_quality_signals
known_reliability_risks:
- early implementation; 64 tests but no production exposure
discovery:
intent: >
Let independently stored, differently implemented wikis behave as one
coherent, versionable, inspectable information space without homogenizing them.
includes:
- union resolution across shards (identity-keyed)
- chorus / designated-canonical presentation of equivalent pages
- lazy replication projection of remote content with freshness
excludes:
- implementing a backend wiki engine (see capability.wiki.engine-typed-extensions)
- silent remote mutation
assumptions:
- canonical truth lives in shards + a git coordination journal; the union is derived
use_cases:
- "shard-wiki UseCaseCatalog UC-01..UC-07, UC-26..UC-33 (information space, federation, coordination)"

- resolution is recompute-on-read until the incremental tier lands

# Wiki Shard Orchestration
shard-wiki's core capability: orchestrate wiki-shaped content across heterogeneous *shards*
as a union of pages, preserving provenance, capabilities, and history per shard. Canonical
truth stays at the edges (shards + the git coordination journal); the union is a derived,
recomputable view (orchestrator, not engine).
## Assessment notes
### Discovery
Grounded by `UseCaseCatalog.md` (84 UCs) and the hardened `CoreArchitectureBlueprint.md`.
### Availability
`InformationSpace` provides attach/resolve/read today (source module); a network API is the
target availability step.
