tegwick dbc42f05db research: git-forge wikis deep dive (Gitea/GitLab/GitHub); UC-76-77
SHARD-WP-0003 T5. The home case: a forge wiki is a separate .wiki.git repo of
Markdown -> page model, history, coordination journal map 1:1 with near-zero
adapter. git-clone universal across all three; wiki content API
capability-varying (GitLab/Gitea yes, GitHub git-only). git IS the canonical
store (not a mirror), so write-by-commit is safe -- resolves the UC-68/Q22
race for this case. UC-76 (clone .wiki.git attach), UC-77 (forge wiki API,
capability varies). Enriched UC-40/02/68/38. Marks T5 done.
Feeds SHARD-WP-0002 T14/T11.

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-*/); XWiki/TWiki/Foswiki deep dives (research/260613-*/); Xanadu + ZigZag + Roam + Obsidian + Notion + Joplin + Logseq + local-first workspaces (Anytype/AFFiNE/AppFlowy) + Trilium + Wiki.js + Federated Wiki + Wikibase + git-forge wikis deep dives & shard-spectrum synthesis (research/260614-*/)

Spec Architecture blueprint drafted; UseCaseCatalog 77 UCs from research; PRD/TSD scaffolds
Work SHARD-WP-0001 active (6 tasks); SHARD-WP-0002 active (16 tasks: T1T10 federation + T11T16 adapter contract); SHARD-WP-0003 active (9 engine dives); SHARD-WP-0004 active (8 computational-knowledge dives)

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 (yawex-derived resolution, namespaces, overlays) and workplans/SHARD-WP-0002-federation-architecture.md (federation architecture, decisions, tradeoffs). Research continues under workplans/SHARD-WP-0003-engine-dives-batch.md (remaining new-insight wiki engines + git-forge wikis + classic engines) and workplans/SHARD-WP-0004-computational-knowledge-systems.md (literate programming, computational notebooks, live-coding REPLs, image-based/moldable environments — the executable/computational page-model thread). Specification outputs land in spec/. Inbound integration asks remain in demand/ until reviewed and promoted into spec or workplans.
