Document Federated Wiki mechanics (fork, journal, inverted browser model), Caulfield lifecycle concepts, and comparison with git-backed wikis, ActivityPub/XWiki, Xanadu patterns, and yawex REMOTE/VIRTUAL. Map findings to shard-wiki INTENT without equating fedwiki to orchestration.

SCOPE
One-Liner
Git-based Markdown wiki orchestrator and federation layer — early-stage scaffold with intent, research, and specification groundwork; domain model not yet implemented.
Mode Of Operation
Close the gap between this file and INTENT.md by exploring the problem space
(research/), reviewing inbound demand (demand/), refining specifications
(spec/), and implementing through registered workplans (workplans/).
Learnings update both SCOPE and INTENT where necessary.
Current Status
| Layer | State |
|---|---|
| Code | Python package scaffold (src/shard_wiki/, smoke tests only) |
| Intent | INTENT.md established; authorization-in-core amendments drafted |
| Research | yawex prior art; c2 origins; federation concepts; wikiengines overview (research/260608-*/) |
| Demand | NetKingdom integration asks captured, not yet negotiated |
| Spec | Architecture blueprint drafted; UseCaseCatalog 25 UCs from research; PRD/TSD scaffolds |
| Work | SHARD-WP-0001 active — 6 design tasks, all todo |
In Scope (today)
- Establishing repository documentation structure and specification groundwork.
- Federation design informed by yawex prior art (page resolution, namespaces, derived views, provenance, overlays).
- Authorization model design (delegated authentication, core authorization).
- Shard adapter contract and wiki page model (to be specified, then implemented).
- Git-backed coordination journal for information spaces.
- State Hub workplan registration and consistency sync.
Out Of Scope (today)
- A standalone wiki engine UI or rendering pipeline.
- Authentication, credential storage, or user directory implementation.
- Hard-coded editorial, sync, or conflict-resolution policy.
- Generic file mirroring independent of wiki-page semantics.
- Production deployment, multi-tenant operations, or enterprise IAM rollout.
Boundary Rule
shard-wiki orchestrates wiki-shaped content across heterogeneous shards. It
provides mechanisms (federation, projection, overlay, patching, reconciliation);
policy (canonical source, conflict preference, access rules) remains explicit and
configurable. Identity comes from pluggable providers; authorization decisions
live in core.
Current Planning
Design work is tracked in workplans/SHARD-WP-0001-yawex-requirements.md.
Specification outputs from that workplan land in spec/. Inbound integration
asks remain in demand/ until reviewed and promoted into spec or workplans.
