# GovOPlaN Documentation Map

This map defines the source-of-truth documents for the current repository docs.
Use it to avoid duplicating long procedures across architecture, release,
operator, and roadmap pages.

## Core Platform

| Topic | Canonical document | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Module architecture and kernel contracts | `MODULE_ARCHITECTURE.md` | Stable module contracts, API efficiency contracts, durable boundary decisions, lifecycle, and WebUI contribution rules. |
| Compatibility policy | `COMPATIBILITY_POLICY.md` | Supported database upgrade origins, portable-schema read/write windows, runtime/API alias retirement, and compatibility-code removal criteria. |
| RBAC and resource access | `ACCESS_RBAC_MODEL.md` | Current permission, role, API-key, and resource-access model. |
| Governance hierarchy | `GOVERNANCE_MODEL.md` | System, tenant, user/group, campaign policy inheritance and admin UI structure. |
| Policy decision DTOs and provenance | `POLICY_CONTRACTS.md` | Shared explain/provenance shape; module-specific policy docs should link here. |
| Events and audit trace context | `EVENTS_AND_AUDIT.md` | Event dispatch semantics and audit payload conventions. |
| Action/effect automation layer | `ACTION_EFFECT_AUTOMATION_LAYER.md` | Action/effect contracts, consequence preview, runner semantics, and module boundary for automation. |
| External references and integration maturity | `EXTERNAL_REFERENCES_AND_INTEGRATION_MATURITY.md` | Stable external identity and cumulative connector maturity; configured source authority is defined by the meta target architecture. |
| Institutional context and governed references | `INSTITUTIONAL_CONTEXT_CONTRACT.md` | Shared temporal, actor/representation, institution, mandate, service, party, decision, evidence, legal-basis, information-governance, presentation, and geo DTO/provider contracts. |
| Postbox E2EE target architecture | `POSTBOX_E2EE_ARCHITECTURE.md` | Strategic encrypted postbox/mailbox model, key ownership, role mailbox semantics, and retraction limits. |
| Shared state, runtime coordination, and recovery | `STATE_AND_RECOVERY_CONTRACT.md` | State profiles, object storage, node registration/drain, fenced leases, migration ordering, and recovery evidence. |

## Release And Operations

| Topic | Canonical document | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Runtime configuration and operator flow | `DEPLOYMENT_OPERATOR_GUIDE.md` | Production/staging configuration, migrations, backups, installer operation, and rollback drill. |
| Self-hosted installability | `SELF_HOSTED_INSTALLABILITY.md` | Packaging decision, generated env templates, config validation, production-like dev stack commands, and boundary gate. |
| Release dependencies and catalogs | `RELEASE_DEPENDENCIES.md` | Release package refs, migration baselines, release lockfiles, catalog trust/licensing, catalog publishing, and release checklist. |
| Dependency vulnerability audits | `DEPENDENCY_AUDITS.md` | Local and CI audit commands plus dated audit result notes. |
| Remote WebUI bundle design | `REMOTE_WEBUI_BUNDLES.md` | Experimental controlled-deployment design; normal releases still use package builds. |
| WebUI loading and bundle budgets | `WEBUI_BUNDLE_BUDGETS.md` | Installed-module lazy boundaries, enforced initial/async budgets, and baseline measurements. |

## Product And Module Planning

| Topic | Canonical document | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Product roadmap and module routing | `GOVOPLAN_MASTER_ROADMAP.md` | Product-level sequencing, implementation gates, issue routing, and missing-module decisions. |
| Institutional governance target | `govoplan/docs/INSTITUTIONAL_GOVERNANCE_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE.md` | Cross-product semantic layers, source-authority modes, candidate Mandates/Services/Parties/Decisions boundaries, and migration sequence. |
| UI/UX decisions | `UI_UX_DECISION_LEDGER.md` | Binding guided-UI decisions, open decisions, impact index, and review checklist. |
| Interface ethics and design doctrine | `INTERFACE_ETHICS_AND_DESIGN_DOCTRINE.md` | Product-level doctrine for context, decision, consequence, contestability, responsibility, and traceability. |
| Public-sector integration posture | `PUBLIC_SECTOR_INTEGRATION_STRATEGY.md` | Strategy index; executable target inventory lives in `govoplan-connectors`. |
| Configuration packages | `CONFIGURATION_PACKAGES.md` | Package model, provider contract, import/export flow, and tracking slices. |

## Workflow Docs

| Topic | Canonical document | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Gitea issues and wiki sync | `GITEA_ISSUES.md` | Issue labels, imports, wiki mirroring, and Codex state updates. |
| Codex local workflow | `CODEX_WORKFLOW.md` | Local agent setup and focused verification commands. |

## Cross-Repo Rule

Core docs may keep strategy, kernel contracts, and routing decisions. Module
repositories should own executable module behavior, concrete API/UI contracts,
and operator notes for their own module. When content spans both, keep the
durable decision in core and link to the module document for implementation
details.
