# Ekklesia module template

This is the smallest supported backend-only Ekklesia module. It proves the static manifest,
compiled runtime entrypoint, capability registration, and logical storage-bucket declarations
without pretending that API, Drizzle, or storage provisioning already exist.

To create a module inside this repository:

1. Copy this directory to `modules/<module-id>`.
2. Rename the package in `package.json` and remove `private` when it is ready for publication.
3. Update the ID, name, version, namespaces, compatibility ranges, and bucket requests in
   `ekklesia.module.json`.
4. Keep the manifest capability versions and dependency ranges aligned with the contracts the
   module actually implements and consumes.
5. Replace `src/server/index.ts` with backend behavior only. Its `defineModuleRuntime` ID and version
   must match the manifest; do not duplicate the rest of the manifest in TypeScript.
6. Run `pnpm install`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm modules:validate`, and `pnpm verify` from the repository
   root. The declared production entrypoint is the compiled `dist/server/index.js`, not source
   TypeScript.

Do not add UI components, styles, renderers, navigation, or layouts. Those belong to surfaces.
Keep imports side-effect-free, register capabilities in `register`, acquire resources in `start`,
and release them in `stop`.
