Cross-dive synthesis (research/260614-shard-spectrum-synthesis/) reading the two Nelson conceptual systems, four engines, and three modern tools across each other: a shard family matrix and eleven capability spectra (addressing, content identity, structure, history, native query, translation, attachment mode, operational envelope, access grant, write granularity, content types) — positions anchored at both ends by a real system, federation ops degrading by position. Through-lines: files-canonical/index-derived wins; fine-grained addressing is adoptable; transclusion=clone=embed is one primitive; structure/history federate iff in-text; attach mode is a per-binding choice; Notion proves the platform can enforce no-silent-mutation. Folded into SHARD-WP-0002: T11 reframed around the eleven spectra; T12 page model stretched four ways (prose + typed records + non-Markdown assets + query-defined); T13 adds Notion supplement; T14 rewritten as the three-mode attachment taxonomy (file-store / in-engine-host / external-API); T15 adds lossy-with-fidelity-report; new T16 (addressing, content identity, dimensional/query navigation). UC coverage UC-34-43 -> UC-34-59. Workplan now 16 tasks. No new UCs (synthesis only). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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 deep dives (research/260614-*/) |
| Demand | NetKingdom integration asks captured, not yet negotiated |
| Spec | Architecture blueprint drafted; UseCaseCatalog 59 UCs from research; PRD/TSD scaffolds |
| Work | SHARD-WP-0001 active (6 tasks); SHARD-WP-0002 active (16 tasks: T1–T10 federation + T11–T16 adapter contract) |
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). Specification outputs land in spec/. Inbound
integration asks remain in demand/ until reviewed and promoted into spec or
workplans.
