-monorepo:
+API, the Dashboard and display shell, and the public `@ekklesia/*` module-development packages — built
+as a strictly layered pnpm/TypeScript monorepo:

+  imports a feature module, a surface, or an app.
-- **Modules** (`modules/*`, template at `templates/module`) are independently versioned product
+- **Modules** are independently versioned product packages. First-party modules live in **their own
-  packages. They own their own data and migrations, declare capabilities/permissions through
+  repositories** (Signage is `Zayin/Signage`), build against the published `@ekklesia/*` packages
-  `@ekklesia/contracts` and `@ekklesia/module-sdk`, and must never import Core, another module, or a
+  (ADR 0053), and reach an installation as a Module Package (ADR 0049) installed into module storage
-  surface directly. Per ADR 0021 a module owns its UI; manifest v7 permits independently optional
+  outside the image (ADR 0048). No module source lives in this repository; `templates/module` is the
-  primary and full-viewport display artifacts, authored in React against the same role-neutral
+  example, and `modules/` is only an optional, ignored local installed-modules directory. A module owns
-  `@ekklesia/module-ui-sdk` ABI. Ekklesia mounts each through a separate surface role, while

+  authored in React against the role-neutral `@ekklesia/module-ui-sdk` ABI; database access is the
+  Module Database ABI v1 (ADR 0050).
 - **Surfaces** (`surfaces/*`) own the containing application shell, navigation, and every
-  presentation concern a module does not. They consume public API/client contracts only, never Core
+  presentation concern a module does not. The shell **hosts** module UI through the generic loader;
-  or module internals directly.
+  it never rebuilds a module's domain screens. Surfaces consume public API/client contracts only.
 
 These boundaries are enforced by `pnpm boundaries` (`scripts/check-boundaries.ts`), not just
 documented. Read `docs/architecture/repository-boundaries.md` and
 `docs/architecture/platform-architecture.md` before proposing any change that crosses a layer.
 
+## Product direction lives beside this repository
+
+The current roadmap and product/interface design contract are `ROADMAP.md` and `DESIGN.md` in the
+parent development directory (`../ROADMAP.md` and `../DESIGN.md` from a checkout in the standard
+`~/development/ekklesia/` layout). They are deliberately **not** committed here; do not copy them into
+this repository to make them available. They are authoritative for product direction: read the
+relevant stages and sections before designing a change. If this repository's documentation disagrees
+with them, flag the conflict, correct the repository-local documentation where appropriate, and never
+silently follow the stale text. Architectural decisions still change only through ADRs (below).
+
+Rules from those documents that every change here must respect:
+
+- **Ownership.** Modules own their domain data, behaviour, and UI. Shared resources — displays and
+  devices, accounts and identity, roles and authorization, branding, mail, push, storage providers,
+  and module installation/lifecycle — belong to the platform, and modules consume them.
+- **Branding.** Normal user-facing UI never hard-codes "Ekklesia"; product identity comes from
+  installation branding (ADR 0046). Package names, diagnostics, logs, and developer tooling may.
+  Existing hard-coded shell strings are known debt for Stage 1, not a pattern to copy.
+- **Visual direction.** Simple, minimal, and calm; responsive for phone, tablet, and desktop; light,
+  dark, and system modes. Normal UI colours come only from the shared design tokens
+  (`@ekklesia/design-tokens`, ADR 0039) — never a hard-coded colour.
+- **No browser-native dialogs.** `window.alert`, `window.confirm`, and `window.prompt` are prohibited
+  in product UI. Destructive actions use in-product confirmation proportional to their impact.
+- **Displays are transitional.** Displays are platform-owned. Today's device pairing (the Dashboard
+  sidebar's *Display devices* panel) and Signage's own display roster are a transitional
+  implementation that Stage 1 migrates to **Settings → Displays**. Fix defects in them, but do not
+  build the Stage 1 Settings, global Displays, theme editor, module installer, or responsive shell
+  redesign early, and keep existing paired displays working across any change.

+                       Version 3, 19 November 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
+cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
+with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
+you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
+and/or modify the software.
+
+  A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
+improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
+receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
+incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and
+encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of
+software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
+The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
+letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
+source code to the public.
+
+  The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
+ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
+to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to
+provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
+users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
+a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
+code of the modified version.
+
+  An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
+published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is
+a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
+released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
+this license.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
+Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
+interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
+supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
+Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
+from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
+means of facilitating copying of software.  This Corresponding Source
+shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
+of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
+following paragraph.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
+3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions
+will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.

+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
+network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
+get its source.  For example, if your program is a web application, its
+interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
+of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different
+solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
+specific requirements.
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

+/**
+ * Core's Module Database ABI v1 executor (ADR 0050).
+ *
+ * A module hands Core SQL text, ordered parameter values, and a row mode; Core hands back decoded
+ * rows, column metadata, and stable errors. No ORM, driver, pool, client, or connection object ever
+ * crosses in either direction. The executor is built over the one pool the API already owns
+ * (ADR 0016) and never closes it.
+ *
+ * This is a correctness and compatibility boundary, **not a security sandbox**: a trusted module can
+ * still send any SQL its database role permits. Nothing here inspects table names.
+ *
+ * ### Connections and session state
+ *
+ * Every ABI operation, a top-level statement or a whole transaction, borrows a connection from the
+ * pool, pins the session settings the ABI's decoding depends on, does its work, and resets the
+ * session with `DISCARD ALL` before returning the connection. So no setting, temporary table,
+ * listener, advisory lock, prepared statement, or role change a module makes survives the operation
+ * that made it, and nothing the ABI pinned reaches the pool's other users. A connection that cannot
+ * be reset cleanly, or that is not idle when the operation ends, is destroyed rather than returned.
+ * `DISCARD ALL` also deallocates named prepared statements; Core uses none on the shared pool.
+ *
+ * ### One statement per `query`
+ *
+ * Every ABI statement is sent with PostgreSQL's extended query protocol, forced with the driver's
+ * `queryMode: "extended"` even when there are no parameters. PostgreSQL itself refuses a Parse
+ * message holding more than one statement (SQLSTATE 42601), using its own SQL grammar, so comments,
+ * quoted literals, and semicolons inside them are never mistaken for a second statement. Core does
+ * not parse SQL. A statement text that holds no statement at all is refused after PostgreSQL reports
+ * it empty.
+ *
+ * ### Transaction control belongs to the callbacks
+ *
+ * Transaction-control SQL (`BEGIN`, `START TRANSACTION`, `COMMIT`, `ROLLBACK`, `SAVEPOINT`,
+ * `RELEASE SAVEPOINT`, `PREPARE TRANSACTION`, and their aliases) is forbidden through `query`: a
+ * conformance rule for trusted module code, not a security guarantee. Core cannot refuse such a
+ * statement beforehand without parsing SQL, which it does not do, and it cannot undo one PostgreSQL
+ * has already executed: a `COMMIT` sent through a transaction's `query` has committed by the time
+ * Core sees it. What Core does is detect the violation afterwards, from what PostgreSQL itself
+ * reports (the statement's command tag, and the protocol's transaction status), and fail safely:
+ * the call rejects, an enclosing transaction is never committed by Core and rejects too, and the
+ * connection is destroyed rather than returned to the pool. The commit and rollback guarantees of
+ * the transaction API apply to conforming use.

+ * The per-test timeout for Core's import-safety tests, and only those.
+ *
+ * Each of these tests proves that importing a module does nothing (no I/O, no connection, no output)
+ * by performing a cold dynamic `import()` of a large Core source graph inside the test body. Vitest
+ * transforms and evaluates that whole graph on demand, and that work is CPU-bound. An ordinary test
+ * file's own top-level imports run before its tests start and fall under no per-test timeout; these
+ * deliberately do not, so the cost lands inside Vitest's default 5-second test timeout.
+ *
+ * Alone they take about 0.7–1.2 s. During a full `pnpm verify`, Turbo runs every package's suite at
+ * once and the CPU is saturated. Reproduced locally (six cores, Core's suite alongside five other
+ * packages' suites), the same tests took 3.0–5.4 s, and so timed out intermittently.
+ *
+ * 30 seconds is about five times the slowest time measured under load, which leaves room for slower
+ * shared CI runners. It matches the repository's integration-test timeout. It is still bounded, so a
+ * module that genuinely hangs while being imported, for example on a network call, still fails. The
+ * assertions themselves are unchanged: these tests fail on what an import does, never on speed.

+# Setting up a display kiosk
+
+A display is a screen — a television with a small computer, or a mini PC on a wall — that opens one
+module's display page full screen and keeps it open unattended. This guide sets one up so it starts
+on boot, stays paired, recovers from network and server outages on its own, and never opens a second
+copy of itself.
+
+Pairing and display identity belong to the platform (ADR 0036). Today an administrator approves a
+screen in the Dashboard sidebar's **Display devices** panel; a later release moves this to
+**Settings → Displays**. Nothing below changes when that happens.
+
+## What the screen needs
+
+- Chromium or Google Chrome, current stable. The display page is tested against Chromium.
+- A **dedicated, persistent browser profile directory**. The device credential is an HttpOnly cookie
+  in that profile; it is what keeps the screen paired across reboots. Never use a guest, incognito, or
+  "clear data on exit" profile, and never share the profile with a person's browsing.
+- Network access to the installation's **API hostname** (the display page, its realtime stream, and
+  its module requests) and to the storage hostname that serves images.
+- A clock that is roughly right. Playback follows the server's clock, but TLS does not tolerate a
+  wildly wrong one.
+
+## The address
+
+Every display-capable module has one display page on the API hostname:
+
+```text
+https://<api-hostname>/display/<module-id>
+```
+
+For Signage that is `https://<api-hostname>/display/signage`. The Signage **Displays** tab shows the
+exact address under **Copy setup address**. Open it on the screen itself; opening it on an
+administrator's own computer only previews the display (and that browser appears in the roster as a
+*Signed-in browser*, which can be removed once it is offline).
+
+## Launching the browser
+
+Run exactly **one** launcher, and launch the page as an app window with a fixed profile:
+
+```bash
+chromium \
+  --user-data-dir=/var/lib/display-kiosk/profile \
+  --app=https://<api-hostname>/display/signage \
+  --kiosk \
+  --no-first-run \
+  --noerrdialogs \
+  --disable-session-crashed-bubble \
+  --hide-crash-restore-bubble \
+  --disable-features=Translate \
+  --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required \
+  --check-for-update-interval=31536000
+```
+
+- `--app` opens the page with no tab strip and no address bar. `--kiosk` makes it full screen.
+- `--user-data-dir` is the persistent profile that holds the pairing. Keep it on persistent storage
+  and back it up with nothing: if it is lost, the screen simply shows a new pairing code.
+- Do **not** add `--restore-last-session`, and do not also start the browser from a desktop autostart
+  entry. Chromium allows one process per profile; a second launch hands its URL to the running
+  process, which opens a **second window or tab** of the display. That is the usual cause of
+  "duplicate" displays. One launcher, one profile, one window.
+
+### Start on boot and restart on exit (systemd)
+
+Run the browser as an unprivileged user in that user's graphical session, from a single user unit:
+
+```ini
+# ~/.config/systemd/user/display-kiosk.service
+[Unit]
+Description=Display kiosk
+After=graphical-session.target network-online.target
+Wants=network-online.target
+PartOf=graphical-session.target
+
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/chromium --user-data-dir=%h/.local/share/display-kiosk --app=https://<api-hostname>/display/signage --kiosk --no-first-run --noerrdialogs --disable-session-crashed-bubble --hide-crash-restore-bubble --disable-features=Translate --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --check-for-update-interval=31536000
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=5
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=graphical-session.target
+```
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+systemctl --user enable --now display-kiosk.service
+loginctl enable-linger <kiosk-user>   # with the desktop set to log this user in automatically
+```
+
+`systemctl --user stop display-kiosk` closes the browser cleanly, which is what keeps its profile —
+and the pairing cookie — intact. Avoid cutting power to a running kiosk when you can: a clean shutdown
+is always safer for a browser profile.
+
+## Pairing
+
+1. Start the kiosk. With no credential it shows a **six-digit pairing code**.
+2. In the Dashboard, enter the code under **Display devices**, give the screen a name, and approve.
+3. Within a few seconds the screen collects its credential and starts showing content.
+4. In Signage → **Displays**, name the display and choose its group and audience.
+
+A paired screen stays paired across browser restarts and reboots, and for as long as it is in use:
+its credential is renewed each time it checks in, and only expires after **180 days without being
+used** (ADR 0056). A screen that is switched off and stored for longer than that, or that is revoked,
+returns to its pairing code and is paired again the same way.
+
+## What happens when things go wrong
+
+| Event | What the screen does |
+| --- | --- |
+| Network drops for seconds | Nothing visible. The display keeps running; the realtime stream reconnects. |
+| Network or API down for longer | Keeps playing what it has cached, with a small corner note; recovers by itself when the server is back. No remount, no reload. |
+| API restarted or upgraded | Reconnects by itself. A new module version is picked up within five minutes and swapped in. |
+| Browser crashes or is restarted | systemd restarts it; the same profile is still paired. |
+| Machine reboots | Starts on boot and resumes. If the server is not up yet, the screen retries on its own (every few seconds, backing off to once a minute) until it is. |
+| Display revoked in the Dashboard | Stops showing content within seconds and returns to its pairing code. |
+| Display moved to another group or audience | Switches content within about one heartbeat (≈12 s), no reload. |
+
+**Offline cold start is not supported yet.** A screen that is already showing content survives an
+outage. A screen that *boots* while the server is completely unreachable can load its cached page but
+cannot mount the module until the server answers, because the authorization it needs is never cached
+(ADR 0043, Signage ADR 0006). It shows a short message and retries on its own until the server is
+reachable — nobody needs to touch it.
+
+## Checklist for a new kiosk
+
+- [ ] One systemd unit, no desktop autostart entry, no second launcher.
+- [ ] `--user-data-dir` on persistent storage, not shared, not cleared on exit.
+- [ ] Automatic login of the kiosk user, and screen blanking/power saving disabled.
+- [ ] Paired and named; assigned in Signage.
+- [ ] Unplug the network for a minute: content keeps playing, then the note clears on reconnect.
+- [ ] Reboot: the screen comes back paired without anyone touching it.

+
+## Context
+
+ADR 0016 gave module code database access through `ModuleDatabase`, which is
+`Pick<NodePgDatabase, "select" | "selectDistinct" | "selectDistinctOn" | "insert" | "update" |
+"delete" | "execute" | "transaction">`. Core implements it as a frozen object whose eight methods are
+bound to Core's own `drizzle(pool)` instance.
+
+ADR 0048 then took modules out of the platform image, and ADR 0049 made each module release a
+self-contained package that bundles its own copy of Drizzle. The two copies now meet at run time,
+and an investigation of the current code (Drizzle 0.45.2) found the coupling runs deeper than a
+type:
+
+- **Module objects cross into Core's ORM.** A module builds queries from table, column, and `SQL`
+  objects made by its own Drizzle copy. Core's Drizzle instance then compiles and decodes them.
+  This only works while the two copies agree on internal symbols and entity kinds, which is why ADR
+  0049 records the module's Drizzle version under `transitional.databaseRuntime` and refuses a
+  mismatch.
+- **Core's ORM objects cross into the module.** `transaction` hands module code Core's live
+  `NodePgTransaction`. At run time that object is a full Drizzle database: its session, dialect,
+  relational query builder, and `rollback()` are all reachable, whatever the `Pick` type says. A
+  reference kept after the callback settles still points at a connection that has returned to the
+  pool.
+- **Result decoding is split between two ORMs.** Core's Drizzle session overrides `pg`'s parsers
+  for each query, so temporal values arrive as raw text. Then the module's column objects convert
+  them. Neither half is an Ekklesia contract. `pg`'s default parsers are also process-global and
+  mutable, and some lose information: `jsonb` numbers beyond double precision, and `numeric[]`
+  elements, are parsed to JavaScript numbers.
+- **Errors are ORM and driver shapes.** A module that needs to recognize a PostgreSQL condition
+  reads it from whatever object Drizzle or `pg` throws. Drizzle 0.45 wraps driver errors in its own
+  error type, whose message carries the SQL text and the parameters.
+- **Schema validation needs Drizzle objects.** Module validation, Doctor, and the package verifier
+  import a module's schema entrypoint and inspect it with Drizzle's `is(…, PgTable)`,
+  `getTableConfig`, and `PgColumn`. That is the same cross-copy dependency, at validation time. Core
+  extracts only plain facts from it: table names and foreign-key target tables.
+
+Two findings show the dependency is unnecessary:
+
+- **Migration execution is already independent of the ORM runtime.** Migration discovery reads SQL
+  files and JSON metadata, and the runner executes SQL text. Neither imports Drizzle. Drizzle Kit
+  snapshots are validated metadata; they are not needed to apply a migration.
+- **The module side can compile to SQL alone.** Drizzle and Kysely both compile a query to
+  PostgreSQL text with `$n` placeholders and an ordered parameter list. Drizzle 0.45.2's own
+  `pg-proxy` driver, given only a callback that receives SQL text, parameters, and an array-or-object
+  row mode, ran `select`, `update`, and `insert … returning`, and decoded `timestamptz` and `int8`
+  text with the module's own column definitions. That driver has no transactions, which a
+  module-side adapter has to supply.
+
+Signage 0.1.2, the first production module, uses `select`, `insert`, `update`, `delete`,
+`transaction`, one `returning`, and SQL expressions in `set` clauses. It uses no `execute`, joins,
+row locks, isolation options, or result row counts. None of its usage needs a Core ORM object. It
+recognizes a uniqueness conflict by reading SQLSTATE `23505` from the thrown error. A stable,
+Ekklesia-owned place for that code is desirable regardless of which ORM either side uses. (This
+paragraph is motivation, not part of the decision.)
+
+## Decision
+
+### The goal: the ORM is an implementation detail on both sides
+
+Ekklesia defines a stable, Ekklesia-owned **Module Database ABI** between Core and modules.
+
+- **The boundary is PostgreSQL itself.** Exactly these concepts cross it:
+  - SQL text;
+  - ordered, bound parameter values;
+  - result rows and their metadata;
+  - transaction scopes that Core controls.
+- **Core never receives or depends on a module's ORM or query-builder object.** That includes:
+  - Drizzle tables, columns, `SQL` objects, query builders, and transactions;
+  - Kysely objects;
+  - any other third-party ORM or runtime object.
+- **Modules never receive Core's ORM objects, driver objects, or connections.**
+- **Each side chooses its own tools.** A module may use Drizzle, Kysely, raw SQL, or any module-side
+  query builder that produces PostgreSQL text and parameters. Core may keep Drizzle, or replace it,
+  without any module noticing.
+
+This ADR defines **Module Database ABI version 1**. The TypeScript names below are illustrative; the
+concepts and the semantics are the contract.
+
+### A correctness boundary, not a security boundary
+
+**The Module Database ABI is a correctness and compatibility boundary. It is not a security
+sandbox.** Installed modules remain trusted backend code running inside the API process with its
+database role (ADR 0006, ADR 0016, ADR 0048).
+
+Nothing in this ADR claims, and nothing built from it may claim, that the following can stop
+malicious module code from reaching data that is not its own:
+
+- the ABI itself;
+- parsing or inspecting SQL;
+- checking table prefixes when statements execute;
+- `SET ROLE`;
+- PostgreSQL roles.
+
+A module sends arbitrary SQL by design, including SQL that changes its role back. It also runs
+in-process, where it can reach the network and the environment without the ABI.
+
+Table ownership remains what ADR 0007 made it: a static correctness check of declared tables and
+foreign keys, run during validation. The ABI keeps that check honest by removing the ORM objects it
+used to depend on. It adds no runtime enforcement.
+
+### Declaring the ABI: manifest version 8
+
+A module opts into the ABI explicitly, in its static manifest. The manifest is strict and changes by
+hard cutover (ADR 0006, ADR 0014, ADR 0021, ADR 0029), so the declaration arrives with
+**manifest version 8**. Conceptually:
+
+```json
+{
+  "manifestVersion": 8,
+  "database": { "abi": 1 }
+}
+```
+
+- **`database.abi: 1`** means the module receives a Module Database ABI v1 executor. It never
+  receives the legacy facade.
+- **No `database` field** means the module receives ADR 0016's legacy `ModuleDatabase` facade
+  during the deprecation window.
+- **Any other ABI value** fails validation. A platform that does not implement a declared ABI refuses
+  the module rather than guessing.
+- **Version 8 is a hard cutover, like every manifest version before it.** Core parses exactly one
+  manifest version; it never parses version 7 and version 8 side by side.
+  - An existing source module moves to version 8, and repacks, without changing any database code.
+  - A package already built with a version 7 manifest must be rebuilt.
+  - Module Package v1 has only just landed, and no published ecosystem depends on version 7
+    packages, so this costs a rebuild and nothing more.
+
+In this ADR, a **legacy module** means a module with a version 8 manifest and no `database`
+declaration, which therefore uses the legacy facade. It never means a module with a version 7
+manifest.
+
+Because the declaration is static, Core, the packager, and the verifier know a module's database
+contract without loading its code. Because Core enforces it, an ABI v1 module cannot reach the
+legacy facade, so nothing at run time can depend on Drizzle agreement.
+
+The rest of manifest version 8 (field placement, validation messages, the template, and the
+cutover itself) is an implementation detail of the change that introduces it.
+
+### The executor
+
+An ABI v1 module's database service is an **executor**. Conceptually:
+
+```ts
+query({ text, values, rowMode }) → { command, rowCount, rows, fields }
+transaction(callback, options)   → the callback's result
+```
+
+- **`text`** is exactly one PostgreSQL statement, using `$1 … $n` placeholders. **One `query` call
+  runs one statement.** This is a correctness and API rule, not a security boundary.
+  - The implementation upholds it with a reliable driver or protocol mechanism where one exists,
+    such as PostgreSQL's extended query protocol, which accepts a single statement per request.
+  - It does not require, and must not grow, an Ekklesia SQL parser.
+  - If an implementation cannot reliably uphold this rule, the implementing change stops and reports
+    the conflict. It does not weaken this ADR silently.
+- **`values`** is the ordered list of bound parameters (see
+  [Parameters](#parameters)). Values are always bound and never interpolated into the text.
+- **`rowMode`** is `"object"` or `"array"`.
+  - `"object"` rows are keyed by column name.
+  - `"array"` rows are positional, in `fields` order. An ORM that selects the same column name twice,
+    as joins do, needs this mode.
+  - Duplicate column names are invalid in object mode. Core rejects such a result rather than
+    silently dropping a column.
+  - With the current PostgreSQL and driver execution path, the result's shape is only known once
+    the statement has run. So a mutating statement can already have had its effects when the
+    result-shape error is reported.
+  - This is not a security guarantee. A caller that needs atomicity runs the mutation inside an ABI
+    transaction, where the error rolls the mutation back with everything else.
+- **`command`** is PostgreSQL's command tag word, such as `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE`.
+- **`rowCount`** is the number of rows PostgreSQL reports as processed, or `null` when it reports
+  none.
+- **`rows`** are the result rows, decoded as in [Results](#results). `RETURNING` rows are ordinary
+  rows.
+- **`fields`** are the ordered column metadata, present even when there are no rows: at least each
+  column's name and its PostgreSQL type OID.
+
+The executor contains no ORM type, AST, query object, or schema object, and accepts none.
+
+**One executor per module.** Each ABI v1 module receives its own executor, bound to its module id.
+The module's `start` and `stop` hooks and its route handlers all receive that same object, which
+keeps ADR 0016's guarantee that lifecycle code and handlers share one database service. Different
+modules get different executors, so Core can attribute every statement to the module that issued it.
+
+**Observability belongs to Core.** Core may record per-module timings, command tags, row counts, and
+error codes. It never writes SQL text or parameter values to logs, diagnostics, Doctor output, or
+HTTP responses.
+
+**Session state is not part of the ABI.** Top-level `query` calls are separate autocommit statements
+that may run on different pooled connections. A module must not rely on session-level state, and
+must not change it. That includes:
+
+- session `SET`;
+- temporary tables;
+- named prepared statements;
+- `LISTEN`;
+- session advisory locks.
+
+Settings that must hold for one unit of work use `SET LOCAL` inside a transaction. Core may reset or
+discard a connection that a module changed. `COPY`, cursors, streaming results, and named prepared
+statements are not part of v1.
+
+### Parameters
+
+The ABI deliberately accepts a small set of PostgreSQL wire-safe values:
+
+| Value | Sent as |
+| --- | --- |
+| `null` | SQL `NULL` |
+| `boolean` | `true` / `false` |
+| `number` | its JavaScript decimal text; `NaN`, `Infinity`, and `-Infinity` as PostgreSQL's `NaN`, `Infinity`, and `-Infinity` |
+| `bigint` | its decimal text |
+| `string` | the text, unchanged |
+| `Uint8Array` | `bytea` |
+| arrays of the above | a PostgreSQL array, nested for more dimensions |
+
+Everything else is refused with a sanitized error before anything reaches PostgreSQL, rather than
+being coerced. In particular:
+
+- **`Date` is not an ABI parameter.** A JavaScript `Date` is an instant. Whether it should become a
+  `timestamp` or a `timestamptz`, and in which time zone, depends on a column type the ABI cannot
+  see. The module-side adapter converts it to explicit text first; for example, Drizzle's timestamp
+  columns already send ISO-8601 text.
+- **Plain objects are not implicit JSON.** A module or adapter encodes JSON explicitly, as a string,
+  and the SQL casts it where needed.
+- **Identifiers are never parameters.** Table and column names are part of the module's compiled
+  SQL text. The ABI provides no identifier interpolation.
+
+### Results
+
+Core owns one documented decoding table for ABI v1. It does not depend on `pg`'s global parser
+registry, which module code could change, or on any ORM. Values that a generic conversion could
+change, or change silently by time zone, arrive in a stable raw form:
+
+| PostgreSQL type | Arrives as |
+| --- | --- |
+| any `NULL` | `null` |
+| `bool` | `boolean` |
+| `int2`, `int4`, `oid` | `number` |
+| `int8` | `string`, its exact decimal text |
+| `float4`, `float8` | `number`, including `NaN` and `±Infinity` |
+| `numeric` / `decimal` | `string`, its exact text (`NaN` included) |
+| `text`, `varchar`, `bpchar`, `name`, `uuid` | `string` |
+| `date`, `timestamp`, `timestamptz`, `time`, `timetz`, `interval` | `string`: PostgreSQL's ISO text output |
+| `json`, `jsonb` | `string`: the JSON text, not parsed |
+| `bytea` | `Uint8Array` |
+| arrays of any of the above | JavaScript arrays (nested for more dimensions), each element decoded by the same rule, with `null` elements as `null` |
+| any other type | `string`: PostgreSQL's text output |
+
+- **Temporal text is fixed for every module.** Core fixes the session's `DateStyle` (ISO),
+  `IntervalStyle` (`postgres`), and `TimeZone` (UTC) on every connection that serves the ABI. The
+  same instant therefore always produces the same text, whatever the server's or the host's local
+  zone.
+- **`bytea` has one representation.** A value is a `Uint8Array`. A module must not rely on it being
+  any particular subclass.
+- **Higher-level conversion belongs to the module side.** Converting text to `Date`, `numeric` to a
+  decimal type, `int8` to `bigint` or `number`, and JSON text to values is the adapter's job, or the
+  module's. The Drizzle column types Signage uses already accept exactly these raw forms.
+
+Changing how any type arrives, including decoding a type that arrives as text today, requires a new
+ABI version.
+
+### Errors
+
+Every failure the executor reports is a Core-owned, sanitized **`ModuleDatabaseError`**.
+Conceptually:
+
+```ts
+ModuleDatabaseError { code, sqlState? }
+```
+
+The two fields mean different things:
+
+- **`code`** is always present. It is a stable, Ekklesia-owned error **category**, meant for
+  programmatic handling. Its categories cover at least:
+  - PostgreSQL rejected the statement;
+  - a parameter value was refused;
+  - a transaction option was refused;
+  - the scope was closed or used incorrectly;
+  - the transaction could not be completed.
+
+  This ADR does not freeze the complete set or the exact names. Once published, a code keeps its
+  meaning.
+- **`sqlState`** is optional. It is the five-character SQLSTATE that PostgreSQL itself reported, such
+  as `23505` (unique violation), `23503` (foreign-key violation), or `40001` (serialization failure).
+  It is present only when the database supplied one, and Core never invents one.
+  - Failures that the ABI detects itself have a `code` and no `sqlState`: a closed scope, an
+    invalid parameter type, or an invalid transaction option.
+  - Modules branch on `code` for ABI failures and on `sqlState` for PostgreSQL conditions.
+- **It never carries:**
+  - SQL text or parameter values;
+  - the driver's message, detail, hint, constraint, table, or column names;
+  - a stack, a cause, connection details, or any Core, `pg`, or Drizzle object.
+- **Modules recognize it structurally** (its name and its `code`), never with `instanceof`. A module
+  bundles its own copy of the SDK (ADR 0049), so class identity across the boundary is not a
+  contract.
+
+This replaces modules depending on `DrizzleQueryError`, `pg`'s `DatabaseError`, or any other driver
+or ORM error shape. An uncaught `ModuleDatabaseError` in a route handler is sanitized at the
+handler boundary exactly as before (ADR 0015, ADR 0016).
+
+### Transactions
+
+Transactions are **callback-scoped**, and Core owns the connection throughout:
+
+```ts
+transaction(async (tx) => { … }, { isolation, readOnly })
+```
+
+- **Starting.** Core takes a connection from its pool and begins a transaction with the requested
+  options. It then calls the callback with `tx`, a Module Database ABI v1 executor scoped to that
+  transaction alone. No `pg` client and no Core ORM transaction is ever exposed.
+- **Commit and rollback.** Core commits only when the callback's promise resolves and no operation
+  launched through `tx` is still outstanding. When the callback rejects, Core rolls back, and the
+  transaction call rejects with the callback's error. There is no `rollback()` method: to roll back,
+  the module throws.
+- **All work is awaited inside the callback.** Module code must await every database operation it
+  starts through `tx` before its callback returns. What happens when work is still outstanding
+  depends on how the callback settled:
+  - **Resolved with work outstanding.** The module forgot an `await` and has used the scope
+    incorrectly. The transaction is never committed: Core rolls it back, and the transaction call
+    rejects with the scope-usage `ModuleDatabaseError`. A forgotten `await` therefore fails. It never
+    quietly changes what the transaction contains.
+  - **Rejected with work outstanding.** The callback's own rejection stays the transaction's error.
+    Core rolls back and does not replace that error, a PostgreSQL failure included, with the
+    scope-usage error just because sibling work was still settling. This is what happens when one
+    query in `await Promise.all([tx.query(a), tx.query(b)])` fails while the other is still running.
+  - Either way, outstanding work never leads to a commit.
+  - Core may let operations that already started finish, or settle, before it rolls back and releases
+    the connection, so that a pooled connection is never handed on mid-operation. Waiting for them
+    never turns into a commit.
+- **Transaction control belongs to the callbacks.** Transaction-control SQL is forbidden through
+  `query`: `BEGIN`, `START TRANSACTION`, `COMMIT`, `ROLLBACK`, `SAVEPOINT`, `RELEASE SAVEPOINT`, and
+  every other statement that starts, ends, or marks a transaction. Modules control a transaction's
+  lifecycle only through the `transaction` and `savepoint` callbacks.
+  - This is a conformance rule for trusted module code, not a sandbox or a security guarantee.
+  - Core does not parse SQL to enforce it. Such a statement is valid PostgreSQL, so PostgreSQL
+    executes it before Core can see its result.
+  - Core detects a violation where the driver and protocol make that possible: from the statement's
+    command tag, and from the connection's transaction status. It then fails safely:
+    - the call rejects;
+    - the transaction's scopes refuse every later statement without sending it, because it would
+      otherwise run outside any transaction;
+    - Core never commits the enclosing transaction itself, and that transaction rejects too;
+    - the connection is destroyed rather than reused.
+  - Core does not claim to undo a transaction-control statement PostgreSQL has already executed. A
+    `COMMIT` sent through a transaction's `query` has already committed the work before it.
+  - The commit and rollback guarantees in this section apply to conforming use of the ABI.
+- **Revocation.** When the callback settles, `tx` is revoked, and it stays revoked once the scope has
+  finished. Any later call on it fails with the
+  closed-scope `ModuleDatabaseError` and sends nothing to PostgreSQL. A `tx` that escapes its
+  callback can never run a statement on a connection that has gone back to the pool.
+- **Options.** `isolation` is `read committed`, `repeatable read`, or `serializable`. `readOnly` is a
+  boolean. An unknown option or value is refused, never ignored. `deferrable` is reserved for a
+  later version.
+- **No automatic retries.** Core never retries a transaction. A callback may have side effects
+  outside the database, so retrying on `40001` is the module's decision.
+- **Failed statements.** PostgreSQL semantics apply unchanged. After a failed statement the
+  transaction is aborted, and later statements fail until the scope ends. A module that wants to
+  continue after a failure uses a savepoint.
+
+**Savepoints** are callback-scoped too:
+
+```ts
+tx.savepoint(async (sp) => { … })
+```
+
+- **Naming.** Core generates every savepoint identifier. Modules never provide one.
+- **Release and rollback.** A resolved callback releases the savepoint. A rejected one rolls back
+  to it, releases it, and rejects with the callback's error.
+- **Outstanding work.** The awaiting rule for transactions applies unchanged.
+  - A savepoint callback that resolves with operations still outstanding is a scope-usage error.
+    The savepoint is rolled back, never released, and the call rejects with that error.
+  - A savepoint callback that rejects keeps its own error. The savepoint is rolled back as for any
+    rejection.
+  - Either way, outstanding work never leads to a release.
+- **One active scope.** Only the innermost open scope may run statements. While a savepoint is
+  open, its parent executor refuses statements and new savepoints, so savepoint scopes can never
+  overlap.
+- **Revocation.** `sp` is revoked when its callback settles, exactly like `tx`.
+
+Nested transactions are savepoints. No nested-transaction API exposes a driver or ORM object.
+
+**Timeouts and cancellation stay with Core.** The existing per-statement bounds of the pool
+(`statement_timeout` and `query_timeout`) apply to every ABI statement. Core may also bound how long
+a transaction stays open. Modules cannot change Core's timeout policy through the ABI. `AbortSignal`
+and module-initiated cancellation are not part of v1.
+
+### Module-side adapters
+
+The ABI is ORM-neutral. The Module SDK may ship adapters **on the module side**, bundled into each
+module like the rest of the SDK (ADR 0049):
+
+- **A Drizzle adapter.** It turns the executor into a Drizzle database the module's own tables work
+  with. It may use Drizzle's `pg-proxy` driver, mapping row-array queries to `rowMode: "array"` and
+  the rest to `"object"`. It supplies `transaction` by opening an ABI transaction and binding a fresh
+  Drizzle instance to `tx`.
+- **A raw-SQL helper.** A tagged template that turns interpolations into placeholders and values.
+- **Later, a Kysely adapter.**
+
+Adapter types and query-builder types are not part of the ABI. Core never learns, and never needs
+to learn, that a module used Drizzle. A module may bundle any Drizzle version its adapter supports.
+
+### Schema metadata
+
+For an ABI v1 module, Core validates table ownership from **plain, Ekklesia-owned metadata**, not
+from ORM objects. Conceptually:
+
+```yaml
+tables:
+  - name: care_team_members
+    foreignKeys:
+      - table: care_team_teams
+```
+
+- **What it is.** Plain data: strings, arrays, and records, with no functions or class instances.
+  Core validates its structure strictly.
+- **What Core checks.** It is enough for the checks ADR 0007 already makes:
+  - the module namespace and identifier rules;
+  - uniqueness;
+  - foreign keys that stay within the module and target its declared tables;
+  - atomic, deterministic aggregation with sanitized issues.
+- **What Core never does.** For ABI v1 modules, Core does not call Drizzle's `is(…, PgTable)`,
+  `getTableConfig`, or `PgColumn` checks on module-provided objects, and does not import an ORM to
+  understand the metadata.
+- **How a module produces it.** A Drizzle helper in the Module SDK may derive it from the module's
+  own Drizzle tables, on the module side. A Kysely or raw-SQL module may write it by hand or produce
+  it another way.
+- **What it promises.** The metadata is a declaration checked for consistency. It is exactly as
+  strong a correctness check as today's, and no stronger: the database enforces columns when the
+  migration runs.
+
+Legacy modules keep the existing Drizzle-object path while legacy support exists. Where the metadata
+lives (in the schema entrypoint's default export or in a static file) is decided by the change that
+implements it. Either way, it must be readable without Core importing an ORM.
+
+### Migrations are unchanged
+
+Migration discovery, validation, and execution stay as ADR 0008, ADR 0009, and ADR 0048 define
+them. The runner already executes SQL without an ORM runtime. Migrations stay forward-only and
+explicit, and history is retained for absent modules.
+
+The Drizzle Kit migration file format (journal, snapshots, and `_ekklesia.json`) remains the module
+migration contract. Whether that build-tool format should become Ekklesia-owned is a separate
+question, and this ADR does not change it.
+
+### Module Package v1
+
+ADR 0049's `packageFormat` stays **1**. For a module that declares ABI v1:
+
+- **Drizzle is allowed in the bundle.** It is a module-side implementation detail, for example of
+  the adapter.
+- **The packager omits `transitional.databaseRuntime`.** Core requires no Drizzle runtime agreement.
+- **The verifier checks the ABI declaration and the plain schema metadata instead.** It refuses an
+  ABI v1 package that carries `transitional.databaseRuntime`. Such a package was made by a packager
+  that did not know the module's database contract.
+
+A legacy module's package keeps today's `transitional.databaseRuntime` recording and validation for
+as long as the legacy facade exists.
+
+This needs no new package format. ADR 0049 already lets a format 1 package carry no `transitional`
+facts. A platform from before this change cannot misread an ABI v1 package either: it refuses the
+version 8 manifest.
+
+### Compatibility and deprecation
+
+The deprecation window applies to the **legacy database facade**, not to manifest version 7.
+
+1. **Phase 1.** Core serves both contracts: the legacy facade to version 8 modules without a
+   `database` declaration, and an ABI v1 executor to modules that declare `abi: 1`.
+2. **Phase 2.** The Module SDK and the module template use ABI v1. First-party modules move over
+   independently, each in its own change.
+3. **Phase 3.** After at least one documented deprecation window, ending in a breaking Module SDK
+   release, the legacy facade may be removed. Its removal date, and how the manifest then expresses
+   the database contract, belong to that later decision.
+
+The legacy facade is transitional. It is not part of the permanent module contract, and it keeps
+its current behaviour until it is removed.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A module's ORM, and its version, no longer has to match Core's. Core can upgrade or replace its
+  own Drizzle without rebuilding any ABI v1 module.
+- `transitional.databaseRuntime`, recorded in ADR 0049 as an implementation constraint, disappears
+  for ABI v1 packages, as ADR 0049 anticipated.
+- Modules get one stable error shape with SQLSTATE, and one documented result encoding that loses
+  no precision and does not depend on time zones.
+- A transaction object can no longer outlive its callback or reach a pooled connection afterwards.
+- Every module moves to manifest version 8. Already-built version 7 packages must be rebuilt.
+  Database code changes only when a module opts into ABI v1.
+- An ABI v1 module bundles an adapter. Its Drizzle code mostly stays as it is: the query builders
+  are its own.
+- Core takes on a documented decoding table, transaction scoping, savepoint management, and error
+  mapping that Drizzle did implicitly before. Each needs live PostgreSQL test evidence.
+- Core must serve two database contracts during the deprecation window.
+- None of this is a sandbox. A trusted module can still do anything the API's database role can.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+- **An ORM AST or query-object ABI.** Rejected. Anything richer than SQL text and parameters is one
+  ORM's internal representation, so it would tie the ABI to that ORM and its release cadence. The
+  only part worth keeping, the row mode and field metadata, is already in the executor.
+- **An Ekklesia-owned query DSL.** Rejected. It would cover less of PostgreSQL than Drizzle or
+  Kysely, cost more to maintain than either, and still force every module to rewrite its queries.
+- **A permanent, versioned Drizzle facade.** Rejected as the permanent contract. It would make Drizzle
+  version agreement a permanent install-time constraint. Core's transaction object would keep
+  reaching module code. Core could never change its ORM. It remains only as the transitional legacy
+  facade.
+- **Exposing the pool, a client, or a connection string.** Rejected, as in ADR 0016. Connection
+  lifecycle, timeouts, and transaction cleanup belong to the platform.
+- **SQL parsing or execution-time prefix checks as a security boundary.** Rejected. SQL can name
+  tables in too many ways, and a trusted module can send any SQL, so a parser would be bypassable
+  and a false promise. ADR 0016 rejected the same idea.
+- **`SET ROLE` or per-module PostgreSQL roles as a security boundary.** Rejected. Any SQL the module
+  sends can reset the role, and in-process code can reach the database without the ABI. Roles in a
+  module's CI, as a test aid, would be a correctness tool, not a boundary.
+- **`Date` as a direct parameter.** Rejected. Its meaning depends on the target column's type, which
+  the ABI cannot see. Adapters convert it explicitly.
+- **`pg`'s default parsing as the result contract.** Rejected. It is process-global and mutable, it
+  loses precision for `jsonb` numbers and `numeric[]` elements, and it is not an Ekklesia contract.
+- **Parsing manifest versions 7 and 8 side by side.** Rejected. Manifest versions are hard cutovers,
+  and the deprecation window is about the database facade, not the manifest.
+
+## Deferred
+
+- The implementation: Core's executor, decoding table, transactions, savepoints, errors, and their
+  tests.
+- Manifest version 8's exact mechanics, and the template and fixture cutover.
+- The Module SDK's Drizzle adapter and raw-SQL helper.
+- A Kysely adapter.
+- The legacy facade's removal date and the release that removes it.
+- Redesigning the migration file format.
+- SQL cancellation and `AbortSignal`.
+- Stronger process or database isolation for modules.
+- Moving Signage to ABI v1.

+# 0051: Module packages declare their own license and carry its text
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-10-07
+- Amends: [0049](0049-module-package-v1.md) — every Module Package v1 artifact gains an
+  authoritative package-level license declaration and a `LICENSE` payload. `packageFormat` stays 1.
+- Related: [the repository license](../../../README.md#license),
+  [ADR 0048](0048-generic-image-and-installed-module-storage.md),
+  [ADR 0050](0050-module-database-abi-v1.md)
+
+## Context
+
+ADR 0049 makes a module release one immutable, self-contained package and already requires
+`THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` for code bundled from third-party dependencies. It deliberately says that no
+package is a distributable release until license and notice collection is proven. The implemented
+packager now generates those notices from the dependency code it actually bundles, but Module
+Package v1 still does not declare the module's own license or carry the module's license text.
+
+Those are different obligations. `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` excludes both the module itself and bundled
+Ekklesia-owned packages. The source module's development `package.json` is not copied into the
+package: the packager generates a minimal runtime `package.json` instead. Consequently, an archive
+can preserve every third-party notice and still lose the authoritative declaration and text for the
+work being distributed.
+
+The repository and its workspace packages declare `AGPL-3.0-or-later`, and the repository carries
+the GNU AGPL version 3 text in `LICENSE`. The canonical module template also declares
+`AGPL-3.0-or-later` in its source `package.json`. Official Ekklesia modules use that license today,
+but a packager cannot assume that every module has the platform's license. A module release must say
+what license its own publisher actually declared and must carry the corresponding material.
+
+The current `ekklesia.package.json` contract is strict: a reader refuses unknown fields. Adding a
+required field therefore makes pre-change and post-change readers reject one another's artifacts.
+That is intentional here, not a reason for `packageFormat: 2`. ADR 0049 has not admitted a
+distributable v1 release without proven license handling; this decision completes that still-open v1
+requirement before real modules are distributed. The packager and verifier must adopt the tightening
+together, and strict readers fail closed during that cutover rather than silently misreading a
+package.
+
+## Decision
+
+### The package declares the module's own license once
+
+Every Module Package v1 `ekklesia.package.json` has a required top-level `license` field containing
+the module's SPDX license expression:
+
+```json
+{
+  "packageFormat": 1,
+  "module": { "id": "example", "version": "0.1.0" },
+  "license": "AGPL-3.0-or-later"
+}
+```
+
+`ekklesia.package.json.license` is the authoritative package-release declaration. The expression is
+not repeated in `ekklesia.module.json` or in the generated runtime `package.json`. The module's
+source `package.json` is a packaging input, not release metadata inside the finished artifact.
+
+The source module must explicitly declare its license in its own project metadata. The canonical
+packager reads the normal string `license` field from the source module's `package.json`, validates
+it as a supported SPDX license expression, and preserves that declaration in
+`ekklesia.package.json`. It refuses a missing, empty, `UNLICENSED`, legacy object-shaped, malformed,
+or unsupported declaration. It never substitutes the Ekklesia platform's license and does not try
+to decide whether a publisher chose an appropriate license.
+
+For official Ekklesia modules today the declaration is `AGPL-3.0-or-later`, matching the repository
+license. This is a fact about those modules, not a default the packager invents for other modules.
+
+### The package carries the applicable license material
+
+Every distributable Module Package v1 contains a regular file at this canonical path inside the
+module directory:
+
+```text
+LICENSE
+```
+
+`LICENSE` contains the license material applicable to the module release. It is an ordinary payload
+file under ADR 0049:
+
+- it appears exactly once in the strict `files` list in `ekklesia.package.json`;
+- its byte size and SHA-256 are recorded there;
+- the archive SHA-256 covers it and the metadata that records it;
+- it is immutable for that release and changes only by producing a different archive.
+
+The license bytes must be available as an explicit source or build input. The canonical source is a
+module-owned `LICENSE` file at the module source root. Tooling may also accept an explicitly named
+license-text input when a workspace layout needs one, but it must place those bytes at the package's
+canonical `LICENSE` path. It must not search ancestor directories and silently adopt a repository
+license, generate project-specific license material, or download text from the network. The
+in-repository template implementation may later add its own `LICENSE` input or explicitly select
+the repository's AGPL text; this ADR does neither.
+
+The packager validates that both inputs exist: the declared SPDX expression and the applicable
+license text. It preserves the supplied text as deterministic package input. It is not a license
+compatibility engine and does not offer legal advice.
+
+### `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` remains a separate concern
+
+`THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` continues to describe third-party packages actually bundled into or included
+with the module: their identities, versions, declared licenses, uses, and required license and notice
+texts. It is not the module's own license file and cannot satisfy the `LICENSE` requirement.
+
+The module itself is not added to `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES`. A first-party module is not duplicated there
+merely because it uses the same AGPL license as Ekklesia. `LICENSE` and `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` both
+remain required because they describe different parts of the release.
+
+### Bundled Ekklesia code
+
+A module package may bundle Ekklesia-owned SDK, contracts, database adapter, UI, and related code.
+`incorporates` continues to record the exact versions of those Ekklesia components. It is an
+inventory and compatibility fact, not a second authoritative declaration of the module's license.
+
+Today's official module packages and the Ekklesia components they incorporate are all
+`AGPL-3.0-or-later`. Their package `LICENSE` therefore carries the applicable AGPL text once. The
+package does not need one identical copy per incorporated Ekklesia component, and those components
+do not move into `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` merely to obtain duplicate text.
+
+This ADR does not decide every future combination of a community module's license with differently
+licensed incorporated code. Publishers remain responsible for their choices and obligations. The
+packager preserves declared information and required material; it does not judge broad license
+compatibility.
+
+### Packaging and verification fail closed
+
+The implementation that follows this ADR must make the packager refuse a module when:
+
+- its source project has no acceptable explicit SPDX license expression;
+- its license-text input is missing or is not a regular file;
+- producing the package would omit `LICENSE` from the strict payload.
+
+The package verifier must refuse an artifact when:
+
+- `ekklesia.package.json.license` is missing, malformed, or outside the expression syntax the
+  contract supports;
+- the `LICENSE` payload is missing;
+- `LICENSE` is absent from the exact `files` list; or
+- its listed size or SHA-256 does not match its bytes, as with every other payload file.
+
+This ADR does not implement those checks. The contracts, packager, verifier, fixtures, template,
+and package proofs must change together in the implementation PR.
+
+### Determinism and runtime metadata
+
+`LICENSE` introduces no timestamp, generated host path, network lookup, or other environmental
+input. The deterministic archive rules in ADR 0049 apply to it unchanged.
+
+The generated runtime `package.json` remains minimal and is not authoritative for licensing. There
+is no runtime need to add a `license` field there. `ekklesia.package.json` is the release metadata,
+while the source module's `package.json` only supplies the publisher's declaration to the packager.
+
+### Package format remains 1
+
+`packageFormat` remains **1**. This is an additive tightening that completes ADR 0049's licensing
+requirement before the first distributable Module Package v1 release. It does not change the archive
+encoding, safety rules, target model, installation layout, or meaning of any existing field.
+
+The strict metadata schema is preserved. A verifier that predates this decision refuses the new
+unknown `license` field; an updated verifier refuses an old package that lacks it or lacks `LICENSE`.
+Both outcomes are safe. There is no installed or published v1 release compatibility promise to
+preserve because ADR 0049 explicitly withheld distributable-release status pending this work.
+
+ADR 0050's database ABI decision is unaffected. Whether a package uses database ABI v1 or the legacy
+database facade has no bearing on its license declaration or payload.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A Module Package v1 release is self-describing about the module's own license and carries the
+  corresponding material without consulting its source repository or the network.
+- Operators can audit the release declaration in `ekklesia.package.json`, the module's license in
+  `LICENSE`, and dependency obligations in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` without conflating them.
+- Module publishers must make both the SPDX declaration and license text explicit packaging inputs.
+- The template and every package fixture must be updated before packaging succeeds, but only in the
+  later implementation PR.
+- Existing development artifacts produced before this tightening are intentionally rejected and
+  rebuilt; none was a distributable v1 release under ADR 0049.
+- Identical AGPL text is carried once for today's official module and incorporated Ekklesia code.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+- **Use only `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES`.** Rejected: it describes third-party dependencies and explicitly
+  excludes the module itself and Ekklesia-owned incorporated packages.
+- **Make the generated runtime `package.json` authoritative.** Rejected: it is deliberately minimal
+  runtime discovery metadata, and copying the declaration there would duplicate release metadata.
+- **Copy the platform's license automatically.** Rejected: the platform cannot declare a module's
+  license for its publisher, and a community module may make a different declaration.
+- **Search parent directories for `LICENSE`.** Rejected: the chosen file would depend on checkout
+  layout and could silently apply an unrelated repository's terms. An out-of-tree input must be
+  explicit.
+- **Download standard license text while packaging.** Rejected: builds must remain offline,
+  deterministic, and independent of a mutable remote source.
+- **Duplicate the AGPL text for every incorporated Ekklesia package.** Rejected: identical copies
+  add no information. `incorporates` records component identity and version; one applicable text is
+  sufficient for today's official packages.
+- **Create `packageFormat: 2`.** Rejected: v1 has not crossed its own distributable-release boundary,
+  strict readers fail safely, and no archive or installation mechanism changes.
+- **Make the packager decide license compatibility.** Rejected: preserving declarations and material
+  is mechanical; judging every present and future license combination is a broader legal and policy
+  problem.
+
+## Deferred
+
+- Implementing contract, packager, verifier, fixture, template, and package-proof changes.
+- The exact set and version of SPDX expression syntax accepted by the implementation, beyond the
+  requirement that unsupported expressions fail closed.
+- Broad policy for future mixed-license community modules and incorporated code.
+- Container-image license distribution.
+- Marketplace, installer, publisher verification, and package-signing policy.

+# 0052: Reviewed license supplements cover redistributed dependencies whose packages omit required material
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-10-07
+- Extends: [0049](0049-module-package-v1.md), in one respect only. ADR 0049 left exactly how licence
+  and notice material is collected to the packager's implementation. That implementation, and the
+  module development guide, then took material only from a redistributed package's own files, or
+  from a predefined standard licence text that needs no project-specific lines. This ADR adds one
+  further source: a reviewed supplement. Everything else in ADR 0049 is unchanged, as is
+  `packageFormat`.
+- Related: [ADR 0048](0048-generic-image-and-installed-module-storage.md),
+  [ADR 0051](0051-module-package-license-material.md),
+  [ADR 0055](0055-corresponding-source-artifacts.md) (decides the source-obligation policy deferred
+  below)
+
+## Context
+
+ADR 0049 requires every Module Package v1 to carry `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES`: the licence and notice
+material that redistributing its third-party code requires. It also states that no package is a
+distributable release until licence and notice collection is proven. The canonical packager collects
+material from two places:
+
+- the licence, copying, copyright, and notice files a redistributed package ships at its root;
+- the standard text of the package's declared licence, but only when that text is complete without
+  project-specific lines (Apache-2.0 today).
+
+A package that has neither stops packaging. That is fail-closed by design: an MIT or BSD package
+without its file is refused, because its copyright line exists only in that file.
+
+The first native-target module package needs a dependency that this rule cannot handle.
+`@img/[email protected]` is the prebuilt libvips that `sharp` loads on Linux x64 with
+glibc. It declares `LGPL-3.0-or-later`. The package itself, like its latest release 1.3.4, contains
+only these files:
+- `README.md`
+- `versions.json`
+- `lib/index.js`
+- one glib header
+- one shared library
+
+That shared library includes about 29 libraries. Its README names each one and the licence it is
+used under, mostly with a link:
+- LGPL components, such as libvips, glib, and pango;
+- cairo, under MPL-2.0;
+- many BSD-, MIT-, zlib-, IJG-, and FreeType-licensed libraries.
+
+The package ships no licence text and no copyright notice for any of them. No standard text can stand
+in for that material: it includes per-project copyright notices and several different licences.
+
+Options that were ruled out before this decision:
+- **Downloading material while packaging.** Packaging must stay offline and deterministic (ADR 0049,
+  ADR 0051).
+- **Inventing material.** A packager that guesses notices produces artifacts that look compliant and
+  may not be.
+
+Ekklesia needs a way to carry material that a dependency's own package omits. It has to be reviewed
+by people, tied to exactly the bytes it was reviewed for, and fail closed whenever that tie breaks.
+
+Some of these licences may also impose obligations beyond carrying text: the LGPL and the MPL can
+require recipients to be able to obtain corresponding source. Whether and how such an obligation is
+met for a particular redistributed binary is a legal and compliance determination. This decision
+does not make that determination.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Package-provided material stays the preferred source
+
+The licence, copying, copyright, and notice material that a redistributed package ships remains the
+primary source, collected exactly as it is today. Nothing in this ADR removes, replaces, or rewrites
+package-provided material. A supplement only adds to it.
+
+### A reviewed supplement fills what a package omits
+
+When a redistributed dependency omits material that redistribution requires, the canonical Ekklesia
+packager may use a **license supplement**: a checked-in, reviewed record of that material for one
+exact dependency.
+
+- **Where supplements live.** In the Ekklesia repository, as part of the canonical packager's own
+  versioned inputs. A supplement enters only through Ekklesia's normal reviewed change process, and
+  the change that adds it is its review. A given packager version therefore always carries the same
+  supplements.
+- **What that review is.** Repository review of a supplement is project and code review of a build
+  input: whether its content, its exact match, and its provenance are what the change says they are.
+  It is not legal review, and it does not prove that any redistribution obligation is satisfied.
+- **What a supplement may contain:**
+  - licence texts;
+  - copyright and attribution notices;
+  - provenance: where each piece of material was obtained, and which upstream component versions it
+    covers;
+  - corresponding-source information, such as where upstream source for the exact build is
+    published;
+  - other material that accompanies the dependency's redistribution.
+- **Generic by construction.** Supplements are data. The mechanism contains no package-specific code
+  and treats every supplement identically, whether it is for libvips or for any other dependency.
+
+### A supplement matches one exact package, or it fails closed
+
+A supplement names exactly one redistributed package:
+
+- its package name;
+- its exact version;
+- an integrity value for the package's contents: a digest the packager computes from the package's
+  redistributed files.
+  - **Deterministic.** It covers exactly each redistributed file's normalized relative path within
+    the package and its bytes, combined in an order defined by the paths themselves.
+  - **Host-independent.** It excludes filesystem metadata, timestamps, ownership, permissions, and
+    the order in which files were extracted or listed. The same package contents always give the
+    same digest, wherever and however they were installed.
+  - **Documented.** The implementation defines and documents the exact algorithm, which does not
+    depend on any package manager.
+
+The packager uses a supplement only when all three match the package it is about to redistribute.
+
+- **A mismatch on any of the three fails packaging.** This covers, for example, a supplement whose
+  name and version match but whose integrity differs. It never falls back to a nearby version, and
+  it never silently skips the supplement.
+- **Every match is used.** A supplement that matches is always merged into the notices, including
+  when the package also ships some material of its own.
+- **Gaps still fail.** If a dependency lacks required material and no exact supplement matches, the
+  packager stops, exactly as it does today.
+
+### Supplements are immutable build inputs
+
+- **Immutable.** A supplement is never edited in place to cover a different build. A changed
+  package, a new version, or different contents need a new supplement, reviewed again.
+- **No network.** Packaging reads supplements from the packager's own inputs and never downloads
+  anything. Assembling a supplement's content is a separate, offline-reviewed curation step done
+  when the supplement is authored, never during packaging.
+
+### Merging is deterministic and labelled
+
+The notice generator merges package-provided material and supplement material deterministically. The
+same packager version and the same inputs still produce a byte-identical `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES`
+(ADR 0049).
+
+- **Order.** Within a dependency's entry, package-provided material comes first, then supplement
+  material.
+- **Labelling.** Supplement material is marked as supplied by Ekklesia's reviewed supplement, never
+  presented as if it came from the package.
+- **No other change.** Dependencies are still sorted, line endings normalized, and each dependency
+  keeps its own entry, exactly as before.
+
+### A supplement never changes a dependency's declared licence
+
+`THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` keeps reporting the licence the dependency itself declares.
+
+- **No override.** A supplement can add material about the components a dependency contains, but it
+  cannot replace, override, or rewrite the dependency's declared licence.
+- **Consistency check.** A supplement records the declared licence it was reviewed against. If that
+  disagrees with the package's actual declaration, packaging fails.
+
+### Legal and compliance determinations are not made here
+
+A supplement can record corresponding-source information, but this ADR does not decide what
+satisfies any licence's source obligation, and neither does the mechanism:
+- the mechanism never asserts that a written offer, a source URL, a mirror, or any other arrangement
+  satisfies a licence;
+- carrying a supplement shows that the reviewed material is present in the package. It does not
+  certify that the package is compliant;
+- for every redistributed binary under the LGPL, the MPL, or any other licence with source or
+  similar obligations, the determination of whether and how those obligations are met is deferred.
+  It must be made, and verified, separately.
+
+ADR 0049's release gate still applies. A package that redistributes such a binary does not become a
+distributable release just because its supplement was merged. It becomes one only once that
+binary's compliance determination has been made and verified.
+
+### Scope
+
+- **Third-party code only.** Supplements apply only to redistributed third-party dependencies,
+  whether bundled or copied into the package. They never apply to the module's own licence or
+  `LICENSE` (ADR 0051), or to incorporated Ekklesia packages.
+- **No package format change.** `packageFormat` stays **1**. A supplement changes only the content of
+  `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES`, which is already a listed, digested payload file. No metadata field, archive
+  rule, or verifier contract changes.
+
+### The motivating case
+
+`@img/[email protected]` is the first dependency expected to need a supplement. This ADR
+does not curate it. Its supplement will be assembled, reviewed, and merged separately, together with
+the native-target packaging work that redistributes it. The source-obligation determination for its
+LGPL and MPL components remains open, as above.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A dependency whose package omits required material can be redistributed after review, offline and
+  deterministically, instead of making native packaging impossible.
+- Each supplement is tied to exact package bytes, so a changed or unexpected dependency fails
+  packaging rather than inheriting material reviewed for something else.
+- Ekklesia takes on reviewing and maintaining supplements. Every version bump of a supplemented
+  dependency needs a new reviewed supplement before packaging works again.
+- `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` can now contain material that did not come from the dependency's package. It
+  is always labelled.
+- Carrying material and meeting obligations stay separate. Source-availability questions remain open
+  until they are determined per binary.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+- **Download licence material while packaging.** Rejected: packaging must stay offline,
+  deterministic, and independent of a mutable remote source (ADR 0049, ADR 0051).
+- **Extend the standard-text list.** Rejected: standard texts only work when the licence needs no
+  project-specific line. Bundled native libraries need per-project copyright notices, and several
+  different licences.
+- **Match supplements by name and version alone.** Rejected: identical versions can differ in content
+  across registries or rebuilds, and the material was reviewed for specific bytes.
+- **Fall back to the nearest supplemented version.** Rejected: material reviewed for one build says
+  nothing reliable about another.
+- **Let a supplement restate a dependency's licence.** Rejected: the declaration belongs to the
+  dependency's publisher. A supplement that could override it could misrepresent what is being
+  redistributed.
+- **Per-package special cases in the packager** (for example, code that knows about libvips).
+  Rejected: every supplemented dependency would need new code, and review would be split between
+  code and data.
+- **Treat a recorded source URL or written offer as satisfying copyleft obligations.** Rejected for
+  this ADR: that is a legal determination that has to be verified per binary, not assumed by a build
+  mechanism.
+- **Supplements provided by module authors.** Not adopted now: the canonical packager uses only
+  supplements reviewed into Ekklesia. Whether module repositories may contribute their own reviewed
+  supplements is deferred.
+
+## Deferred
+
+- Implementing the mechanism in the canonical packager: the supplement format and storage location,
+  the integrity algorithm, the matching, the merge, and the tests.
+- Curating and reviewing the supplement for `@img/[email protected]`.
+- The legal and compliance determination of source obligations for each redistributed binary, and
+  how a determination is recorded.
+- Whether the packager should refuse, or flag, packages whose supplements note an open determination.
+- Supplements provided by module repositories.
+- Recording which supplements were used in `ekklesia.package.json`, should that ever be needed.

+  0049 decided.

+
+## Context
+
+Modules are independently versioned products in their own repositories (ADR 0021). Yet no module can
+be built outside Ekklesia's monorepo today. Signage's continuous integration clones the platform at
+a pinned commit, places Signage under `modules/signage`, and installs and builds inside that
+workspace, because its Ekklesia dependencies exist only as `workspace:*` packages.
+
+An investigation of the current packages found the following.
+
+- **One coordinated version.** Every `@ekklesia/*` package, and the platform, is version 0.1.2. The
+  release process already bumps them together. The platform reports its Module SDK version, which
+  manifests' `compatibility.moduleSdk` ranges are checked against (ADR 0006), by reading
+  `@ekklesia/module-sdk`'s own package version.
+- **The tarballs already stand alone.** `pnpm pack` rewrites `workspace:*` ranges to exact versions,
+  and each tarball carries only its built `dist`, declarations, and `LICENSE`. But every package's
+  `prepack` runs a command at the monorepo root, and `@ekklesia/typescript-config` is marked
+  `private`.
+- **The SDK exposes everything.** `@ekklesia/module-sdk` re-exports the whole `@ekklesia/contracts`
+  barrel. That includes contracts no module needs, such as authorization and identity, and the
+  legacy Drizzle `ModuleDatabase` type. `@ekklesia/contracts` depends on `drizzle-orm` for that type,
+  so every module install pulls Drizzle in.
+  - Neither the module template nor Signage imports `@ekklesia/contracts` directly.
+- **Frameworks are declared twice.** `@ekklesia/ui` lists `react`, and `@ekklesia/module-sdk` lists
+  `drizzle-orm`, as both a dependency and a peer dependency. That invites a second copy of a runtime
+  that must be single within one module bundle.
+- **The canonical packager assumes the monorepo**, in two ways:
+  - it finds the module's Node.js range only through an enclosing `pnpm-workspace.yaml`;
+  - it decides that an Ekklesia package is the platform's own, not third-party, because its real
+    path does not contain `node_modules`.
+
+  An `@ekklesia/*` package installed from a registry would therefore be treated as third-party.
+  Packaging would omit it from `incorporates` and skip the Module SDK compatibility check.
+- **The registry and its hosts.**
+  - The current private host is a Gitea 1.27.2 server. Its npm registry is enabled for the
+    organization, and that endpoint and the repositories are currently readable anonymously.
+  - pnpm leaves a tarball URL out of its lockfile only when the URL has the canonical
+    `<registry>/<name>/-/<name>-<version>.tgz` form. Gitea advertises another form, so lockfiles
+    produced against Gitea name the Gitea host.
+  - The integrity hashes in those lockfiles are independent of the host.
+
+## Decision
+
+### The npm registry protocol, not a provider
+
+Ekklesia's module-development packages are distributed over the **standard npm registry protocol**,
+and modules install them with ordinary pnpm or npm commands.
+
+- **No provider is part of the architecture.** Not Gitea, GitHub, npmjs, or any other. A module
+  repository depends on the protocol and on a scope-to-registry mapping in normal npm/pnpm
+  configuration.
+- **Gitea may host the private phase.** It is a host for this phase, not a permanent decision.
+- **No host-neutral lockfile or Ekklesia proxy is required.** Moving to another registry may need a
+  one-time change of a module's registry configuration and a regeneration of its lockfile. The
+  integrity hashes keep verifying the package content across such a move.
+
+A module repository's registry configuration is, for example:
+
+```ini
+# .npmrc, committed: where the @ekklesia scope lives, and nothing secret.
+@ekklesia:registry=https://<registry endpoint>/
+```
+
+```ini
+# User or CI configuration, never committed: the credential, from the environment.
+//<registry endpoint>/:_authToken=${EKKLESIA_PACKAGES_TOKEN}
+```
+
+### The public package set
+
+Only packages a module author needs are published. Nothing is published merely because it exists in
+the workspace.
+
+| Category | Packages |
+| --- | --- |
+| Author API | `@ekklesia/module-sdk`, `@ekklesia/module-database`, `@ekklesia/module-ui-sdk`, `@ekklesia/design-tokens` |
+| Tooling | `@ekklesia/module-ui-build`, `@ekklesia/module-pack`, `@ekklesia/typescript-config` |
+| Pre-1.0 component API | `@ekklesia/ui`: publishable, explicitly unstable before 1.0 |
+| Implementation dependency only | `@ekklesia/contracts`: may be published because the packages above depend on it, but it is **not** a supported direct module-author API |
+| Never published | `@ekklesia/core`, the applications, `@ekklesia/module-ui-host`, `@ekklesia/module-template`, and every other platform internal |
+
+### A curated SDK surface
+
+Before the first external publication, the author-facing SDK is narrowed.
+
+- **A curated API.** `@ekklesia/module-sdk` exposes what a module author needs, and no longer
+  re-exports the complete `@ekklesia/contracts` barrel.
+- **No forced Drizzle.** The stable SDK root does not make Drizzle a dependency of modules that do
+  not use it.
+- **No legacy database contract.** The legacy Drizzle database contract (ADR 0016's facade type) is
+  not part of the standalone author-facing surface. Core still serves the legacy facade for its
+  deprecation window (ADR 0050). This decision only keeps its type out of what new standalone
+  modules build against.
+- **Drizzle support lives in one place.** Drizzle-specific helpers belong to the
+  `@ekklesia/module-database` Drizzle adapter (ADR 0050).
+
+### Dependency rules
+
+These rules apply to the published packages:
+
+- **React and ReactDOM** are peer dependencies of the public UI packages, plus development
+  dependencies for those packages' own builds and tests. This does not change ADR 0023: a module UI
+  artifact still bundles React. The peer only ensures there is one React in that bundle, the
+  module's own.
+- **Drizzle** is an optional peer dependency only where the Drizzle adapter needs it.
+- **Real implementation dependencies,** at run time or build time, remain normal dependencies.
+
+These rules apply to a module repository:
+
+- **Runtime and module-code packages** go in `dependencies`: the Author API packages, `@ekklesia/ui`,
+  React, and the module's ORM if it uses one.
+- **Build tooling and configuration** go in `devDependencies`: `@ekklesia/module-ui-build`,
+  `@ekklesia/module-pack`, `@ekklesia/typescript-config`, and type packages.
+
+### Versioning
+
+- **One coordinated version during 0.x.** Every public Ekklesia module-development package uses one
+  release version, equal to the platform release version. The version the platform reports for
+  `moduleSdk` compatibility is therefore the version of the packages a module was built with.
+- **No mixed trains.** Within a published train, Ekklesia-owned dependencies name the coordinated,
+  tested version, never a version from another train.
+- **Ranges in source, exact artifacts in lockfiles.** A module may declare compatible ranges in its
+  source `package.json`; its lockfile pins exact artifacts with their integrity hashes.
+- **`@ekklesia/module-pack` is pinned exactly.** A module repository pins it in its source
+  `package.json`, not only in its lockfile, because its version affects the package it produces.
+- **Independent package versions are deferred.**
+
+### Standalone packaging
+
+- **No monorepo checkout.** A standalone module builds and packages from its own repository and its
+  installed dependencies.
+- **Its own Node.js range.** The module declares its own Node.js compatibility, preferably in
+  `engines.node`, and the canonical packager reads it from there or from an explicit option. It
+  never requires an enclosing `pnpm-workspace.yaml`.
+- **Ekklesia packages recognized by identity.** The canonical packager recognizes Ekklesia-owned
+  installed packages by explicit package identity and metadata, never by workspace path. So
+  `incorporates` and the Module SDK compatibility check (ADR 0049) work the same whether a package
+  came from the monorepo or from a registry. Ekklesia packages are never reported as third-party
+  software (ADR 0051).
+- **No monorepo-root commands at install time.** Publishing workflows for the public packages run
+  their build in the platform's release pipeline. Nothing in a published package runs a
+  monorepo-root command when a consumer installs or packs it.
+
+### Supply chain
+
+- **Immutable versions.** A version is never republished with other content, and never withdrawn to
+  be reused.
+- **Lockfiles.** pnpm lockfile integrity is part of the reproducibility model: modules install with a
+  frozen lockfile.
+- **Release CI proves the tarballs before publication.** It must:
+  1. build and pack the public package set;
+  2. inspect every tarball: only the intended contents, a `LICENSE`, and no `workspace:` range;
+  3. install those tarballs into a clean standalone module fixture, outside any monorepo;
+  4. prove there that the fixture builds, packages with the canonical packager, and verifies.
+
+  Only then are the versions published.
+- **Signing and provenance are deferred.**
+
+### Registry access and the private phase
+
+- **No secrets in module repositories.** Registry configuration for the scope is normal npm/pnpm
+  configuration.
+- **Credentials from the environment.** Read and publish credentials come from environment or user
+  configuration: a read credential in module CI where reads need one, and a publish credential only
+  in Ekklesia's release pipeline.
+- **No permanent provider.**
+- **Verify access before the first publication.** Check the chosen registry's actual private and
+  read-access behaviour first. Ekklesia's packages must not be published unintentionally to a
+  registry that serves them anonymously while Ekklesia is not public.
+
+### The release workflow
+
+During 0.x, public package releases form a **coordinated SDK train** associated with platform
+releases:
+
+1. build;
+2. pack;
+3. standalone tarball smoke (see [Supply chain](#supply-chain));
+4. publish immutable versions;
+5. downstream module CI installs and tests those versions.
+
+### Signage
+
+The intended result is a normal standalone Signage repository:
+- versioned `@ekklesia/*` dependencies;
+- its own lockfile;
+- continuous integration that installs, builds, packages, and verifies on its own.
+
+That CI must not clone Ekklesia or place Signage under `modules/`. The migration itself is a separate
+change.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A module repository is an ordinary pnpm project. Clone it, install, build, and package it with the
+  canonical packager, with no Ekklesia checkout.
+- Module authors see a smaller, deliberate API, and the platform can change its internal contracts
+  without breaking them.
+- One coordinated version keeps compatibility simple: SDK version X is what platform version X
+  reports and accepts. The cost is republishing unchanged packages with each platform release.
+- A registry move costs each module a configuration change and a lockfile regeneration, but no
+  source change. Package content stays verifiable by integrity hash throughout.
+- Before the first publication, the SDK surface must be curated and the packager's two monorepo
+  assumptions removed. Both are breaking for code that relied on them.
+- ADR 0047, still proposed, assembles a module into the platform workspace to test it. Before it is
+  accepted it must instead consume published packages and canonical module packages, consistent with
+  this decision and with ADR 0048.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+- **Git URL, tag, or commit dependencies.** Rejected: they tie modules to one Git host, need a build
+  on every install because `dist` is not committed, and cannot express version ranges.
+- **Release-asset tarball URLs.** Rejected: each dependency becomes a host-specific URL, and ranges
+  cannot be resolved.
+- **OCI artifacts for packages.** Rejected: npm and pnpm cannot install from them. (A harness image
+  is a different matter; see ADR 0047.)
+- **Vendoring Ekklesia packages into each module repository.** Rejected: the copies drift, updates
+  are manual, and there would be no single canonical SDK.
+- **Requiring host-neutral lockfiles, or an Ekklesia registry proxy that rewrites tarball URLs.** Not
+  required: a one-time lockfile regeneration on a registry move is an acceptable cost, and integrity
+  hashes already keep content verifiable. Ekklesia may still choose a stable endpoint later.
+- **Publishing `@ekklesia/contracts` as a direct author API.** Rejected: it holds platform-wide
+  contracts. Modules get a curated surface through the SDK packages.
+- **Externalizing React from module UI bundles to share one runtime.** Rejected again: ADR 0023's
+  reasoning stands, and peers only prevent duplicates within one bundle.
+- **Independent versions per package now.** Deferred: during 0.x a coordinated train is simpler for
+  module authors and matches how the platform reports its SDK version.
+
+## Deferred
+
+- Provisioning a registry, and its credentials.
+- Public publication on npmjs or any other public registry.
+- Package signing and provenance.
+- Independent package versioning.
+- Dashboard and UI redesign.
+- The Signage migration itself.

+# 0054: Ekklesia's module-development packages are publicly readable before launch
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-10-08
+- Supersedes (partial): [0053](0053-standalone-module-development-packages.md) — only where it
+  describes the package phase before launch as private: "Gitea may host the private phase", the
+  read credential for module CI in "Registry access and the private phase", and its requirement
+  that packages not be served anonymously while Ekklesia is not public. Every other part of that ADR
+  remains accepted and unchanged: the npm registry protocol, the public package set and its
+  boundaries, the curated SDK, the dependency rules, the coordinated package train, exact release
+  artifacts, standalone module builds, provider portability, supply chain and immutability, and the
+  credential handling for publishing.
+- Related: [ADR 0049](0049-module-package-v1.md)
+
+## Context
+
+ADR 0053 decided how Ekklesia's module-development packages (`@ekklesia/*`) are built, released, and
+distributed over the npm registry protocol. It assumed that the phase before Ekklesia's public
+launch would be private: module CI would carry a read credential where reads needed one, and the
+first publication had to make sure the registry would not serve the packages anonymously.
+
+Checking the chosen host before the first publication showed what keeping the packages private would
+take:
+
+- Gitea 1.27.2 decides package read access by the package **owner's** visibility, never a
+  repository's. The `River_of_Glory_Church` owner is a public organization, so its packages are
+  readable anonymously.
+- That organization's repositories, Ekklesia's source among them, are already publicly readable.
+- The instance allows self-registration, so "limited" visibility, readable by any signed-in user,
+  is readable by anyone who creates an account.
+- Private packages would therefore need a separate private package owner, plus reader accounts and
+  read tokens for every module repository, every module's CI, and every developer.
+
+The project owner has decided that Ekklesia is not secret. Its source is public; the project is
+simply not being launched or promoted yet. Hiding the packages built from that public source would
+protect nothing, and would still cost every module author an account and a token.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. **Ekklesia's module-development packages may be anonymously readable before the project's public
+   launch.** This covers the public package set of ADR 0053: search, metadata, and download.
+2. **Readability is not a launch, and promises nothing more.** Public readability does not mean:
+   - that Ekklesia has been publicly launched;
+   - that the APIs are stable beyond the project's pre-1.0 SemVer policy;
+   - that third-party production use is supported;
+   - that a marketplace or public module ecosystem exists.
+3. **Reading needs no authentication in this phase.** Installing `@ekklesia/*` needs no account,
+   reader account, read token, or authenticated install workflow. A module repository configures only
+   the scope's registry.
+4. **Publication stays authenticated and tightly controlled.** Only Ekklesia's release process
+   publishes, with one dedicated publisher credential that holds nothing beyond package write
+   access, used only by that process, as ADR 0053's credential handling for publishing already
+   requires.
+5. **Published versions stay immutable by Ekklesia policy.** A published version is never deleted or
+   republished with other bytes, whatever the registry technically allows.
+6. **The current Gitea owner is an acceptable host.** The `River_of_Glory_Church` package namespace
+   on the current Gitea may host this phase, as long as publishing permission stays restricted to
+   the publisher. No private package organization is needed.
+7. **A public launch is a separate decision.** Launching or promoting Ekklesia publicly, and anything
+   that changes for its packages then, is a product and release decision this ADR does not make.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **Module authors and module CI need no Ekklesia credential.** The committed `.npmrc` scope mapping
+  is the whole registry configuration. ADR 0053's example of a read credential in user or CI
+  configuration is no longer needed in this phase.
+- **ADR 0053's pre-publication access check changes meaning.** It now confirms that anonymous reads
+  work as intended and that publishing is refused without the publisher's permission, rather than
+  that reads are private. The disposable-registry suite proves both, and the publication tool can
+  require an anonymous download to match each published artifact.
+- **Restricting publishing is now the whole access boundary**, so the publisher credential's scope,
+  where it is held, and who can reach it matter all the more.
+- **Making the packages private again would be a new decision.** Package names, versions, and
+  contents already published stay public, because a published version is never deleted.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **A private package organization on the same Gitea.** Rejected: it hides nothing that is not
+  already public in the source, and it requires reader accounts and tokens for every module
+  repository, its CI, and every developer.
+- **"Limited" package visibility.** Rejected: with self-registration open, anyone can read anyway,
+  while the configuration suggests otherwise.
+- **Requiring sign-in for the whole instance.** Rejected: it would also hide the public
+  repositories.
+- **Another registry for a private phase.** Unnecessary once reads are public.

+# 0055: Native redistributable packages carry corresponding-source artifacts
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-10-09
+- Extends: [0049](0049-module-package-v1.md). ADR 0049 withholds distributable-release status from a
+  package until its licence handling is proven. This ADR adds what proving it means for a native
+  package that redistributes copyleft code: a sibling corresponding-source artifact, and a
+  fail-closed gate for public distribution. Module Package v1 is unchanged, and `packageFormat`
+  stays **1**.
+- Decides: the item [ADR 0052](0052-reviewed-license-supplements.md) deferred, "the legal and
+  compliance determination of source obligations for each redistributed binary, and how a
+  determination is recorded", as a project policy. Reviewed supplements are unchanged in purpose
+  and format.
+- Related: [ADR 0051](0051-module-package-license-material.md), whose rules for a module's own
+  licence are unchanged.
+
+## Context
+
+A native Module Package (ADR 0049) copies native dependencies into its `node_modules` exactly as
+built. The first one, the packager's native proof with sharp, redistributes
+`@img/sharp-libvips-linux-x64`. That is one shared object with about 29 libraries built into it.
+Several are under the GNU LGPL, and cairo and some Rust crates are under the MPL.
+
+ADR 0052 made the licence and notice side work. A reviewed supplement adds the licence, copyright,
+and notice files the package omits, with the exact upstream source each came from. But ADR 0052 was
+explicit that carrying material is not meeting obligations. The LGPL and the MPL also oblige whoever
+distributes the binary to make the corresponding source available. For a library linked into a
+larger work, that includes what a recipient needs to rebuild the library and use a modified version.
+Recording upstream URLs does not do that: URLs move, tags are rewritten, and a mirror is somebody
+else's promise.
+
+Until this was decided, every native package containing such components was blocked from public
+distribution, and the blocker had no defined way to be lifted.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Native packages may contain copyleft native dependencies
+
+A native Module Package may redistribute native dependencies under the LGPL, the MPL, or a similar
+licence with source obligations. It may be **distributed publicly** only when it is released
+together with a **corresponding-source artifact** that meets this ADR. A package whose artifact
+cannot be produced and verified is not approved for public distribution.
+
+This is Ekklesia's **project compliance policy**: a conservative rule the project holds itself to.
+It is not legal advice, and it is not legal certification. Repository review of the artifact, its
+inputs, and its instructions is project and code review. It does not replace professional legal
+review, and nothing built from this ADR may claim that it does.
+
+### Supplements and source artifacts do different jobs
+
+- **A reviewed supplement (ADR 0052)** identifies and verifies the licence and notice material for a
+  redistributed binary. It travels inside the package, in `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES`.
+- **A corresponding-source artifact** carries the source, patches, build definitions, and rebuild
+  and relink instructions for the covered native components. It travels beside the package, as a
+  separate release artifact.
+
+A supplement alone never satisfies the source-availability policy. A source artifact never replaces
+the supplement or `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES`.
+
+### What the artifact contains
+
+For each covered native dependency the package redistributes, the artifact contains:
+
+- the exact source the binary was built from, as bytes, not as references:
+  - its build definitions;
+  - the source archive of every library compiled into it;
+  - every patch the build applied;
+  - every source package a language package manager resolved for the build;
+  - the source of any runtime library the toolchain linked into it;
+- the licence and copyright material: the reviewed supplement, and the files inside the sources;
+- **instructions** that are technically actionable. They name what the artifact corresponds to and
+  its target, and say how to apply the patches and rebuild the covered library. They also say how a
+  rebuilt or modified library replaces the redistributed one in the installed module, and which
+  toolchain and configuration to use, or point to the included build definitions;
+- a deterministic, machine-readable manifest of every component and file, each with its digest,
+  plus the human-readable provenance.
+
+Components that are not part of the binary are left out, each with its reason recorded: build-only,
+test-only, or another platform's. The exception is a build-time input needed to rebuild the covered
+library, such as a source package a build script requires. That is included and marked as
+build-only. Host system libraries and general-purpose build tools are not redistributed, and the
+instructions name the versions they need.
+
+### It is tied to exact inputs, and verified before it is written
+
+- **Bound to the binary.** An artifact names each covered dependency by package name, version, and
+  the content digest a supplement is matched by (ADR 0052). It names the module identity and target
+  of the package it accompanies. An artifact for one version of a binary never satisfies another.
+- **From reviewed inputs only.** The inputs come from a checked-in, reviewed **source recipe** per
+  covered dependency version. The recipe records each component's name, version, origin,
+  relationship to the binary, and licence material, and each source file's and patch's size and
+  SHA-256.
+- **Acquisition is separate from construction.** Obtaining the recorded bytes may use the network,
+  in an explicit preparation step that stores them in a local cache keyed by content digest.
+  Constructing the artifact is offline. It reads only the cache and checked-in files, verifies every
+  byte against the recipe before writing anything, and never fetches or trusts a current upstream
+  response.
+- **Deterministic.** The same inputs produce the same artifact, byte for byte, in any working
+  directory: normalized relative paths, fixed ownership, modes, and timestamps, sorted entries, and
+  no machine-specific path.
+
+### Binary and source are linked by recorded digests
+
+A public release of a native package with covered components consists of sibling artifacts:
+
+- the Module Package archive and its SHA-256 (ADR 0049);
+- the corresponding-source archive and its SHA-256;
+- machine-readable **redistribution metadata** recording:
+  - the package archive's name and SHA-256;
+  - the module identity and target;
+  - each covered dependency's name, version, licence, and content digest;
+  - the supplement and recipe it was assembled from;
+  - the source archive's name and SHA-256, and the SHA-256 of its manifest;
+- a **release notice**, displayed alongside the binary wherever it is offered. It says, in
+  substance, that the release includes third-party software under licences including the GNU LGPL
+  or the MPL, and that corresponding source and build and relink materials for the covered native
+  dependencies are in the accompanying artifact, named by its exact file name and SHA-256.
+
+A reviewer can therefore tell exactly which source artifact corresponds to which redistributed
+binary, from digests, without guessing from file names. The source archive is never placed inside
+the Module Package. `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES` stays as it is, and never duplicates the source.
+
+### Public distribution fails closed
+
+Building and testing packages stays unrestricted: the packager produces native packages exactly as
+before, for development, CI, and private use. **Public redistribution approval** is a separate gate.
+For a package intended for public distribution, the gate requires that:
+
+- the package's native dependency inventory is known;
+- every covered dependency has its reviewed supplement and source recipe;
+- the corresponding-source artifact is present;
+- every digest matches;
+- the artifact's manifest validates against the recipe and the archive's own contents;
+- the release notice names the exact artifact.
+
+If any requirement fails, approval fails. Bundled (not copied) code under such a licence is not
+handled by this mechanism, so the gate refuses it rather than approving it.
+
+### Retention, and no rewriting history
+
+- Ekklesia keeps a release's corresponding-source artifact for as long as it distributes, or
+  supports access to, the matching binary release. Nothing deletes one automatically while that
+  binary remains available.
+- The bytes of a source artifact for an existing binary release are never replaced under the same
+  identity.
+- A correction is a new release, or an explicitly versioned compliance artifact that the
+  redistribution metadata names. History is never silently replaced.
+
+### What this ADR does not do
+
+- It does not change any module's own licence, or ADR 0051's rules for it. The module's own source
+  obligations are met by the module's own repository, as before.
+- It does not make **runtime downloading** an acceptable workaround. Fetching a copyleft library at
+  run time instead of redistributing it moves the obligation rather than meeting it, makes
+  installations depend on a third party, and breaks ADR 0048's self-contained installed modules. It
+  is not the preferred path.
+- It does not change Module Package v1, the verifier's acceptance of a package, or the content of
+  existing supplements.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Native modules that need copyleft native libraries, starting with sharp's libvips, can be
+  distributed publicly under a defined, checkable policy, instead of being blocked indefinitely.
+- Each covered dependency version needs a reviewed source recipe, as it needs a reviewed supplement.
+  A dependency bump needs both before public distribution works again.
+- Releases carry an artifact many times larger than the package itself (about 200 MB for libvips
+  1.3.4, against a 9 MB package), and Ekklesia commits to retaining it.
+- Constructing the artifact needs the verified source cache. Acquisition happens once per recipe,
+  not on every build.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+- **Treat supplements, source URLs, or a written offer as sufficient.** Rejected: URLs and offers
+  depend on third parties and on time. This policy requires the source itself, retained with the
+  release.
+- **Put the source inside the Module Package.** Rejected: installations would store hundreds of
+  megabytes they never need, and the package format would change for a distribution concern.
+- **Download sources while constructing the artifact.** Rejected: a release would depend on mutable
+  remote responses. Acquisition is explicit and verified, and construction is offline.
+- **Download native libraries at run time.** Rejected, as above.
+- **Per-dependency special cases in code.** Rejected for the same reason as in ADR 0052: recipes are
+  reviewed data, and the mechanism knows no particular library.
+
+## Deferred
+
+- Hosting and serving source artifacts for published module releases, and the release CI that runs
+  the gate and keeps the verified source cache.
+- Corresponding source for bundled copyleft code, if a module ever needs it.
+- Recipes provided by module repositories, alongside the question ADR 0052 deferred for supplements.

+# 0056: A device credential lasts while the device is in use
+
+- Status: Accepted
+- Date: 2026-10-12
+- Supersedes: the "Session lifetime" section of [0036](0036-managed-device-identity-and-pairing.md).
+  Everything else in ADR 0036 — the device as its own principal, pairing, revocation on every
+  request, re-pairing as a new identity — is unchanged.
+
+## Context
+
+ADR 0036 gave a device credential a fixed 180 days from pairing. The intent was that a screen on a
+ceiling should not need re-pairing on a short cycle, and that an abandoned screen should eventually
+stop being an identity.
+
+A fixed horizon does the second and fails the first. Every screen in the building expires on the
+anniversary of its pairing whether or not it was in use the day before, and drops to a pairing code
+in front of the congregation until someone with Dashboard access walks to it. For screens paired
+together, that is every screen at once. Nothing about a working, unrevoked screen is less trustworthy
+on day 181 than on day 179; only the calendar changed.
+
+## Decision
+
+**The 180 days are an idle window, not a lifetime.** A device credential is accepted while the
+device was last seen less than 180 days ago (or, if it has never been seen, was paired less than 180
+days ago). `lastSeenAt` already moves forward on authenticated device requests (throttled to one
+write per 15 minutes), so the server-side window slides with use and needs no new column or
+migration.
+
+**The browser's copy is renewed by the host, not rotated.** The display descriptor —
+`GET /api/v1/module-displays/<module>`, which every display requests when it starts, when it
+reconnects, and periodically while it runs — re-issues the device cookie that authenticated the
+request with a fresh 180-day `Max-Age` and the same attributes as at pairing (`HttpOnly`,
+`SameSite=Strict`, host-only, `Path=/`, `Secure` on https). The value is unchanged.
+
+Renewal happens only for a request that already resolved to a live, unrevoked device. A revoked,
+expired, or unknown credential is anonymous, as before, and is never renewed; a person viewing a
+display never receives a device cookie.
+
+**Revocation remains the boundary.** It is still checked on every request, and an administrator's
+revoke still takes effect immediately.
+
+## Why not rotate
+
+Rotation (issue a new value, invalidate the old) would bound how long any one stolen value works and
+could reveal a cloned credential. For an unattended screen it trades that for a new way to strand
+the display: a renewal response lost to a network drop, a power cut, or a browser that never
+persisted the new cookie leaves the screen holding a dead credential and showing a pairing code,
+which is the failure this decision exists to remove. A refresh-token scheme with overlap windows
+could avoid that, at the cost of real complexity in the one place mistakes are invisible until a
+wall goes dark. That is not justified while revocation is immediate and a device principal can only
+read the displays it was paired for.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A screen that is used at least once every 180 days stays paired until an administrator revokes
+  it. An abandoned screen still stops being an identity 180 days after it was last seen.
+- Existing credentials need no migration. A screen paired under the fixed rule is renewed the next
+  time it requests its descriptor, provided its browser still holds the cookie.
+- A stolen device credential stays usable for as long as anyone keeps using it, until it is revoked.
+  Under ADR 0036 it was usable for at most 180 days from pairing. The exposure is bounded by what a
+  device may do — the display permissions of the module it was paired for, never a person's access
+  — and by revocation. Operators can see each device's last-seen time and revoke anything
+  unexpected.
+- A credential is not bound to a browser or network. Like a human session cookie, whoever presents
+  it is the device.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+- **Keep the fixed 180 days.** Rejected: every in-use screen fails on a schedule, and screens paired
+  together fail together.
+- **Never expire.** Rejected: an abandoned or forgotten screen would remain an identity forever, and
+  its credential would never stop working without someone remembering to revoke it.
+- **Rotate on renewal.** Rejected for now; see above.
+- **Renew on every authenticated response.** Rejected: principal resolution happens deep in shared
+  middleware that never writes responses. One endpoint every display already requests periodically
+  is enough, and keeps the behaviour in one visible place.

+## Context
+
+The Dashboard had exactly one URL. `apps/api` served the page at `/` and nowhere else, both
+reference proxies forwarded only `/` to it, and the shell kept "which module is open" in React state.
+Opening a module never changed the address bar, so a refresh always returned to the first module,
+nothing could be bookmarked or shared, and the browser's Back button left the Dashboard entirely.
+ADR 0026 rejected a client router *for that pass* — "a selected-module state is sufficient" — and
+ADR 0027 deferred client routing and deep links.
+
+The product contract now requires them. DESIGN.md §2.7 says the URL represents the current place in
+the product: a refresh returns to the same page, deep links work, Back and Forward behave
+predictably. §5 makes an **Overview** the Dashboard's landing page, and §12.6 says a disabled module's
+routes stop behaving as active routes. Everything else Stage 1 builds — the sidebar, Settings, the
+account area, platform Displays, a module's own pages in the sidebar, and returning to the workflow a
+Settings deep link came from — needs stable addresses to hang from, so this is the first slice.
+
+A route that works in the shell but not on refresh is worse than no route, because it looks like it
+works. Refresh is a server and proxy concern before it is a browser one: the API had to serve the
+page at the new paths, and the proxies had to forward them.
+

+A module is a first-class top-level destination, addressed by its id, exactly as Settings and the
+Account area are. "Module" is an implementation concept — how the platform packages a product — and
+it does not appear in the addresses people see, bookmark, and share. A module id is lowercase
+kebab-case and Core-validated, which is what makes it usable as a path segment with no further
+encoding.
+
+### Platform-owned top-level names are reserved, and Core enforces it
+
+Sharing one namespace means a module must never be able to take a name the platform uses.
+`RESERVED_MODULE_IDS` (`core/src/modules/reserved-ids.ts`) is the complete set the platform serves
+at the top level **today**, taken from what is actually registered rather than from guesses:
+
+| Name | Owned by |
+| --- | --- |
+| `api` | the API: identity, principal, health, Core resources, module routes, module UI artifacts, display descriptors, realtime |
+| `assets` | the Dashboard's and display host's scripts |
+| `display` | the display host's pages and service worker |
+| `settings` | the Dashboard's Settings pages |
+| `account` | the Dashboard's account area |
+
+Discovery refuses a module that declares one (`MODULE_ID_RESERVED`), so the check covers API
+startup, `pnpm modules:validate`, and Module Package verification — before a module is installed,
+not only when it is served. Exact names only: `settings-sync` or `displays` are ordinary ids.
+
+The set is held to reality by tests in `apps/api` rather than by review: every top-level segment the
+composed API registers is a reserved name or a module page, the display host's and Dashboard
+script's path constants all start with a reserved name, and every Dashboard page the shell
+interprets is reserved. Adding a new top-level platform route therefore fails a test until its name
+is reserved. Reserving a name later is a **breaking change** for any installation with a module of
+that id, so the set grows only deliberately, and only for a real route.
+
+The rule lives in Core's discovery rather than in the module manifest grammar
+(`@ekklesia/contracts`), because it is the Ekklesia host's URL space, not a property of a module: a
+standalone host (ADR 0021) has no Settings page to protect. A module built against the current
+public packages is unaffected unless it uses one of these five names.
+
+### The server serves one page, unchanged, at every real Dashboard address — and nowhere else
+
+`createDashboardHostRoutes` answers `GET` (and Hono's implicit `HEAD`) at `/`, at `/settings` and
+`/account` and everything below each (`DASHBOARD_PLATFORM_PAGES`, exported by the shell as
+`@ekklesia/shell/dashboard-routes`, so the server and the shell's router read one list), and at
+`/<module-id>` and everything below it for **each module this process discovered that declares a
+Dashboard UI**. Every answer is the same frozen bytes, the same strong `ETag`, and the same security
+headers as `/`: the path selects a page inside the shell, never a file on the server. Nothing from
+the request is composed into a lookup, no directory is exposed, and the script and source map remain
+reachable only at their own literal paths.
+
+The module set is the boot snapshot's discovered inventory, fixed at startup like every other
+module-derived route, and it deliberately **includes disabled and blocked modules**. A bookmark to a
+module an administrator turned off still opens the Dashboard, which says the module is unavailable;
+that is more useful than an address that suddenly looks like it never existed. A module that is not
+installed, or that has no Dashboard UI (a display-only module, ADR 0033), has no page.
+
+Everything else stays the sanitized `404`: an arbitrary root path (`/definitely-not-a-real-module`),
+a look-alike (`/settings-old`, `/signages`), another method, `/index.html`, and so on. The routes
+also refuse to compose if handed a module page that is not a valid module id, is a reserved name, or
+appears twice — discovery already guarantees all three, and the routes do not trust it.
+
+Serving `/<module-id>` before sign-in means an anonymous request can learn whether a module with a
+Dashboard UI is installed, by its `200` or `404`. That is accepted: it is the same disclosure the
+display host already makes at `/display/<module-id>` (ADR 0033), a module id names a product rather
+than any data, and the alternative — a page at every module-shaped root path — is exactly the
+"arbitrary path becomes a Dashboard page" this decision rejects. The authenticated module inventory
+and every module route keep their authorization unchanged.
+
+### The proxies forward module-shaped names and let the API decide
+
+A proxy cannot know which modules an installation has, and a proxy configuration listing them would
+have to be edited on every install. Both reference Caddyfiles therefore forward every top-level path
+whose first segment has a module id's shape, `^/[a-z][a-z0-9]*(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*(?:/.*)?$`, and the API
+answers it with the page or its sanitized `404`. Anything not shaped like one — `/favicon.ico`,
+`/.well-known/…`, an uppercase name — is still refused by the proxy without reaching the API. In the
+split topology (ADR 0045) the Dashboard hostname forwards module-shaped names but still refuses
+`/api`, `/display`, and `/assets`, and the API hostname still serves no Dashboard page. The
+development server falls back to the page for any path with no file.
+
+### The shell's router is host-owned, small, and deliberately not a library
+
+The address bar is the source of truth for which page is open. The shell reads it through a
+four-method `HostHistory` (`pathname`, `push`, `replace`, `subscribe`); the browser implementation is
+built in the entry point from `window` and handed down, so the entry point remains the only file in
+the package that touches a browser global, and every routing behaviour is tested against an in-memory
+history whose entries a test can inspect. No state object is ever stored in a history entry — the path
+alone is meaningful — so nothing put into history can be read back as authority.
+
+`react-router-dom` is not adopted. Modules are refused it because routing belongs to the host
+(ADR 0022, `pnpm boundaries`); the shell's own pages are a handful of host screens plus one mounted
+module; and adopting a library now would prejudge how a module's own pages are addressed, which is
+a separate decision (see **Deferred**).
+
+### What each path shows
+
+- `/` is the **Overview**. The shell no longer opens the first module for the person: the Overview is
+  the landing page. Until modules can contribute cards to it, it says plainly that it has nothing to
+  show yet.
+- `/<module-id>` mounts the module whose navigation entry has that id, through the unchanged generic
+  loader and the unchanged keyed frame, so a stale load still cannot reach a newer page. The server's
+  navigation is the only authority on what is mountable. An id it does not list — a disabled or
+  blocked module whose address the server still serves — shows *This page isn't available* and loads
+  nothing; the page never echoes the address back. This is what makes a disabled module's routes stop
+  behaving as active routes, with no new server state.
+- `/settings…` and `/account…` are the platform's own pages and are never read as module pages. They
+  have no content yet, so they show *Page not found* for now.
+- Everything below `/<module-id>/` belongs to that module's own pages. It is served by the API today
+  and shows *Page not found* in the shell until the module page contract exists. The shell never
+  guesses, and never shows a module's first page for an address the module never defined.
+- One trailing slash is tolerated and corrected to the canonical spelling in place (`replace`, no new
+  entry), so what is bookmarked next is the one canonical address.
+
+### Navigation is real links
+
+Every navigation item is an `<a href>` with its canonical address and `aria-current="page"` when it
+is open, marked by weight as well as colour. An ordinary click opens the page in place and adds one
+history entry; a click with a modifier key or the middle button is left to the browser, so a page can
+be opened in a new tab. Clicking the open page's own link adds no entry. The browser's Back and Forward
+walk exactly the pages that were open.
+
+### Page changes behave like page loads for assistive technology
+
+After an in-place page change the shell moves focus to the page's `<main>` (named after the page) as
+a full load would have; the first page shown after a refresh or sign-in is left alone. The entry point
+names the browser tab after the open page ("Overview", the module's display name, or the error page's
+title, and "Sign in" while signed out) — never "Ekklesia", in keeping with ADR 0046. The static page's
+own `<title>` is unchanged here; it belongs to the branding work.
+
+### Sign-in is unchanged, and still has no return URL
+
+ADR 0034 holds exactly. The sign-in form still replaces the application in place at the current URL,
+so a deep link opened while signed out lands on its own page once the person signs in — with no
+`return`, `next`, or callback value, no redirect, and no script-driven navigation off the
+Dashboard's own paths. The shell only ever moves between its own canonical paths. Emailed
+verification and reset links still land on `/` with a query (ADR 0038).
+
+## Alternatives
+
+- **Module pages under a prefix (`/modules/<id>`).** Rejected: it exposes an implementation concept
+  in every address people see, and makes a module a second-class destination beside Settings. The
+  collision it avoided is handled instead by reserving the platform's names in Core.
+- **Hash routing (`/#/signage`).** Rejected: every address is one page to the server, the proxy, and
+  any analytics; fragments never reach the server, so no server-side decision about a path is
+  possible; and DESIGN.md asks for real URLs.
+- **Serving the page at any module-shaped root path.** Rejected: `/definitely-not-a-real-module`
+  would become a Dashboard page, and the server would answer `200` for every mistyped address. It
+  would remove the installed-module disclosure described above, at the cost of the server no longer
+  meaning anything by a `200`.
+- **Serving only enabled, running modules' pages.** Rejected: a bookmark to a module an
+  administrator disabled would become a bare `404`, indistinguishable from a typo, instead of the
+  Dashboard explaining that the module is unavailable.
+- **Listing modules in the proxy configuration.** Rejected: every install would need a proxy edit.
+- **Reserving more names now** (`login`, `help`, `overview`, …) "just in case". Rejected: a reserved
+  name refuses a real module, so a name is reserved when the platform gets a route there and not
+  before.
+- **Putting the reserved names in the manifest grammar.** Rejected for now: it is the Ekklesia host's
+  URL space, not a module property, and would need a public-contract release for no extra safety,
+  since discovery already refuses the module before it can be installed.
+- **`react-router-dom` or another routing library.** Rejected for now; see above.
+- **Keeping "open the first module" at `/`.** Rejected: DESIGN.md makes the Overview the landing page,
+  and an address that silently means "whatever happens to be first" is not a stable address.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- A refresh, a bookmark, and a shared link land on the page that was open; Back and Forward walk the
+  Dashboard's own pages. Proven at three levels: the shell against an in-memory history; `apps/api`
+  serving the page at platform pages and installed modules' pages and the sanitized `404` everywhere
+  else; and the deploy smoke test, through the real proxy, checking platform deep links, unknown
+  names, a module's address staying served while the module is disabled and disappearing and
+  returning as it is removed and reinstalled,
+  and reloading a module's address in a real browser and requiring the same module to mount again.
+- **The Dashboard opens on the Overview, not on the first module.** A person who used to land in
+  Signage now chooses it once from the navigation, and can bookmark `/signage`.
+- **A module may not be called `account`, `api`, `assets`, `display`, or `settings`.** No known module
+  is; one that was would now fail discovery with `MODULE_ID_RESERVED` and must be renamed.
+- **Operators with their own proxy must forward module-shaped top-level paths** (the matcher above),
+  or a refresh on any page other than `/` is the proxy's `404`. The deployment guide says so.
+- `@ekklesia/shell` gains a `./dashboard-routes` subpath, and `apps/api` reads it. The surface remains
+  private; this is the same relationship `./dashboard-assets` already has.
+- The navigation landmark is labelled "Dashboard" rather than "Modules", because it now contains the
+  Overview as well as modules.
+
+## Deferred
+
+Each of these needs its own decision. This ADR reserves the addresses for them and decides none of
+them:
+
+- **A module's own pages** — how a module declares the pages that appear under it in the sidebar
+  (`/signage/playback`, `/signage/timelines`, `/signage/displays`), how it learns and changes its
+  current sub-path through the module UI SDK, and what an address below `/<module-id>/` means. The
+  server already serves the page there and the proxies already forward it, so that contract is a
+  manifest, SDK, and shell change with no further routing or deployment change. It is its own ADR.
+- **Return to origin** — how a module or a Settings page links into another part of the Dashboard and
+  comes back to the exact workflow that sent the person there (DESIGN.md §2.7, §4.8). It must remain
+  a validated, same-origin route decision, as ADR 0034 requires, and is designed with the module page
+  contract rather than here.
+- The Settings and Account pages themselves, the sidebar redesign, the mobile drawer, Overview cards,
+  breadcrumbs, and the installation's name in the browser tab.
