tegwick 8941e131e8 research: UseModWiki deep dive (flat-file ancestor); SHARD-WP-0003 done
SHARD-WP-0003 T9 (final). Lineage dive: the flat-file ancestor (Clifford Adams
c.2000, from AtisWiki/CvWiki) that early Wikipedia ran on (MediaWiki Phase I).
No new capability -- reinforces the minimal flat-file floor (UC-82) and
CamelCase linking (UC-25); historical grounding that the file-store floor is
the field's common root. Enrichment-only: UC-01/40/25/36/41. Marks T9 done and
SHARD-WP-0003 complete (9/9). Feeds SHARD-WP-0002 T11.

# 260614 — UseModWiki deep dive
Deep dive on **UseModWiki**: the **flat-file ancestor** — a Perl CGI wiki (Clifford Adams,
2000) descended from AtisWiki/CvWiki, **CamelCase** linking, plain flat-file page + history
storage, and the **engine Wikipedia originally ran on** (MediaWiki Phase I). Origins/lineage
value: the minimal flat-file page+history model the whole field descends from.
- `findings.md` — the model, lineage, capability profile, INTENT mapping, enrichments (no new
UC — reinforces the minimal flat-file baseline UC-82), architecture notes, sources,
traceability.
Catalog yield: **enrichment-only** (reinforces UC-82) — enriched UC-01 (open wiki), UC-40
(flat-file store), UC-25 (CamelCase naming), UC-36/41 (flat-file history). Lineage noted for
the origins record. Feeds SHARD-WP-0002 T11 (minimal profile lineage).
