* feat(b2-2): declare protocol_epoch in the schema and generate both constants protocol/schema.json gains protocol_epoch (1). genprotocol emits ws.ProtocolEpoch and PROTOCOL_EPOCH from it; the contract test pins the Go constant to the schema so a stale regeneration fails the required check. * feat(b2-2): check the client's protocol epoch in the auth handshake The auth payload gains epoch (absent = 0). Outside [minClientEpoch, ProtocolEpoch] the server answers one auth_error with code protocol_epoch_unsupported, the client/server/min epochs, and a message naming which side to update, then closes 1008 like every other handshake failure. minClientEpoch is 0 for epoch 1 only so alpha.4 clients keep connecting; the epoch-1 fixtures are unchanged. * feat(b2-2): send the protocol epoch and offer the update on a refused connect ws.ts sends epoch: PROTOCOL_EPOCH in the auth frame (contract test extended on purpose). On auth_error code protocol_epoch_unsupported with a newer server the dispatcher records the host in ui.store.updateRequiredHost and main.ts mounts the UpdateNotifier on the connect page, so a refused client gets the same Update Now banner it would have had on the main page. * feat(b2-2): withhold client releases newer than the server's protocol epoch The signed server-update manifest gains protocol_epoch (release.yml reads it from protocol/schema.json). Updater.ReleaseProtocolEpoch verifies the manifest and reads it; the client-update endpoint answers 204 when the release's epoch is newer than ws.ProtocolEpoch or the manifest does not verify. Releases without a manifest are epoch 0 and advertised as before. Docs: protocol.md Compatibility section, api.md, deployment.md, protocol README, CHANGELOG Unreleased. * docs(b2-2): record the slim B2-2 decision and evidence; fold B2-3/B2-4 into it * ci: prove the protocol_epoch manifest read on every PR, not only at tag time * fix(b2-2): offer the update on an already-mounted connect page and keep the credential on a protocol refusal Codex P1: on a first login or startup auto-login no overlay exists before auth_ok, so a refusal never re-rendered the connect page and the one-time read of updateRequiredHost missed it. The connect page now subscribes to it, and a later refusal replaces the banner. Codex P2: a refusal on reconnect went through the generic logout and deleted the stored credential although the token is still valid. clearAuth gets a protocol_epoch reason; main.ts keeps the credential on it (the skip-auto-login flag is still set and, being sessionStorage, does not survive the relaunch the update triggers).
Documentation index
Every document in docs/ is listed here. If it is not on this page it is not
current guidance.
Docs fall into four kinds, and the difference matters when you are deciding whether to trust one: guidance tells you how to do something, reference describes a contract the code actually implements, audits are dated snapshots that were true when written and were never updated, and plans record intent. Read an audit as history, not as status.

Guidance
| Document | Covers |
|---|---|
| quick-start.md | Getting a server running with the fewest steps. |
| deployment.md | Production deployment on Windows and Linux. |
| contributing.md | Environment setup, the branch and PR model, coding standards, how to run the checks CI runs. |
| security.md | How to report a vulnerability, and how findings are handled in public vs private. |
| livekit-setup.md | Standing up the LiveKit SFU for voice and video. |
| port-forwarding.md | Making a server reachable from outside the LAN. |
| tailscale.md | Remote access without port forwarding. |
| mcp-introspect.md | Dev-only MCP server for introspecting a running instance. |
Reference
These describe contracts the code implements. If one disagrees with the code, the code is right and the document is a bug.
| Document | Covers |
|---|---|
| api.md | REST API under /api/v1. |
| protocol.md | WebSocket protocol — frames, sequencing, reconnect. |
| schema.md | SQLite schema and migrations. |
| server-configuration.md | Every server configuration option. |
| credential-storage.md | What the desktop client persists, and where. |
| ../protocol/schema.json | Generated-code source of truth, at the repository root because it is owned by neither side. Server/ws/message_types.go and Client/src/lib/protocolTypes.ts are generated from it — never hand-edit either. See ../protocol/README.md. |
Architecture
architecture/README.md indexes the blueprints and carries the maintenance rule: each blueprint names its source-of-truth files, and a PR touching those updates the blueprint in the same change.
- system-overview.md, server.md, client.md
- data-model.md, websocket.md, voice-e2ee.md
- ux/ — target-state UX spec, per-view states and event→reaction maps
- platform-contracts.md — target-state desktop/browser seam: what has to move behind a contract before the client can run in a browser (B7)
client-architecture.md is a redirect stub; the live document is architecture/client.md.
Audits — dated, not maintained
Point-in-time snapshots. They are not updated as the code moves, and they are deliberately left alone when paths change, so links from commit messages keep resolving. Anything here may be stale; the ledger and the plan index carry current status.
| Audit | Scope |
|---|---|
| audit-2026-08-23-repository-layout.md | Repository layout and contributor experience (RL-01…RL-22). |
| audit-2026-08-23-repository-health.md | Full repository health. |
| audit-2026-08-19.md | Repo health. States "0 open findings" — untrue since; see the ledger. |
| audit-test-coverage-2026-08-19.md | Test audit (T-*, a separate register from the OC-* ledger). |
| audit-2026-08-04-docs-and-coverage.md | Documentation accuracy and UI/UX test coverage. |
| audit-2026-08-04.md | Security review. |
| audit-test-coverage-2026-07-25.md | Test-coverage audit. |
| audit-2026-07-19.md | Architecture and spec-conformance review. |
| audit-2026-04-07.md | First comprehensive audit. |
Plans
plans/README.md indexes every plan with a recorded state — active, partially implemented, design-only, or shipped — and is the authority over a plan's own header, which can drift.
Where status actually lives
Do not read a defect count, or a "what works" claim, out of a document on this page. Status has owners:
| Concern | Source of truth |
|---|---|
| Defect status | .superpowers/findings-ledger.json (FINDINGS.md is rendered from it) |
| Security-sensitive defects | Private GitHub Security Advisories |
| Phase order and gates | plans/repo-health-roadmap-2026-08-23.md |
| Current measured baseline | plans/b0-baseline-2026-08-25.md |
| Generated-code contracts | CLAUDE.md, "Generated code — never hand-edit" |
A CI job checks that documents on this page do not contradict the ledger's
counts. Adding a count to a document means adding it to that check's allow-list
in scripts/check-doc-counts.mjs.
