J3vbandClaude Fable 5 cbfcf702f9 docs(b2-7): plugin boundary — off twice, compiled out of releases, no API promise
docs/architecture/plugins.md records the experimental WASM boundary (BPR-080/
081, BG-17): disabled by build tag and by config, absent from release.yml and
Dockerfile builds, the HP-2 configuration audit (fresh, upgraded, Docker,
standalone), the beta release-notes wording, what exists today with its limits
and tests, the post-beta plugin candidates that stay in core during beta, and
the core concerns that never move. Linked from architecture/README.md,
architecture/server.md and docs/README.md.

OwnCord Architecture Blueprints

Verified against: commit 5630aa1, 2026-08-04 Companion audits: docs/audit-2026-08-04-docs-and-coverage.md (docs & coverage), docs/audit-2026-08-04.md (security), docs/audit-2026-07-19.md (architecture)

This directory is the curated architectural map of OwnCord — the "blueprints" for the whole system. Every diagram is a Mermaid fenced block (GitHub renders these natively) followed by a prose explanation and a Source of truth file list.

Doc Diagrams Covers
system-overview.md D1 System context, D8 Deployment topology All processes, trust boundaries, ports, single-instance constraints
server.md D2 Server package map, D3 REST request lifecycle Go package structure, DB-access styles, middleware chain
websocket.md D4 WS connect / replay / dispatch Real-time engine: auth handshake, 3-tier reconnect replay, backpressure, typed dispatch
data-model.md D5 Entity-relationship overview All 26 tables from migrations 001028, grouped by domain
voice-e2ee.md D6 Voice + E2EE flow LiveKit token flow, loopback TLS tunnel, ECDH key-holder relay
client.md D7 Client module map Tauri client: bootstrap, dispatcher, stores, Rust sidecars (structure, as-built)
ux/ UX flow + state diagrams Client behavior spec (target state): what every view does and how it reacts to events, permissions, and failure
platform-contracts.md Desktop/browser seam (target state): where native dependencies will be isolated, and the three that have no browser equivalent
plugins.md Experimental WASM plugin boundary: off twice and compiled out of releases, no API promise, post-beta candidates, core that never moves

Structure vs. behavior

client.md maps the client as-built (modules, stores, wiring). The ux/ set is the complementary behavior spec — prescriptive (to-be) flows for every view, with per-view state matrices and event→reaction maps. Where today's code diverges from the target, the UX docs carry dated ⚠ Current gap callouts, so the set doubles as a UX improvement backlog.

platform-contracts.md is a third kind again: a target seam map. It records where the desktop/browser boundary will be drawn and what crosses it, measured against today's code. The seam does not exist yet — B7 builds it — so read that document as a decision record, not as structure.

Maintenance rule

These documents are curated, not generated. The rule that keeps them honest:

If a PR changes the structure of anything listed in a diagram's Source of truth list (new package, new table, new message type, changed flow), that PR updates the corresponding diagram in the same change.

Diagrams reference stable identifiers (package names, table names, message-type strings) rather than line numbers wherever possible. Line-number evidence lives in the dated audit reports, which are point-in-time snapshots by design.

Relationship to other docs

  • docs/api.md, docs/protocol.md, docs/schema.md are the reference specs (request/response shapes, wire formats, DDL). These blueprints describe structure and flow, not payload shapes. Known drift between the specs and the code is catalogued in the dated audit reports (latest: audit-2026-08-04-docs-and-coverage.md).
  • docs/client-architecture.md is a redirect stub kept for old links; client.md is the client architecture document.
