+# GovOPlaN Frontend Layout Principles
+
+GovOPlaN modules should choose their page layout by the kind of work the user is
+doing, not by the repository that owns the feature.
+
+## Structured Data Directories
+
+Use a full-available-space workspace for structured data directories: files,
+addresses, calendars, records, mailboxes, document stores, and similar domains
+where the primary task is browsing, selecting, filtering, inspecting, and acting
+on related objects.
+
+Principles:
+
+- The module route should use the full available content area.
+- Do not add a separate page heading row above the main workspace.
+- Prefer persistent navigation panes, such as tree panels, source panels, folder
+  panels, calendar list panels, or mailbox folder panels.
+- Keep collection navigation and collection-level actions close to the relevant
+  pane header.
+- Use bounded widths for navigation/list panes and let the main detail/content
+  pane take the remaining space.
+- Keep filtering controls inside the pane they affect.
+- Use overlays, toasts, or floating alerts for transient messages so the
+  workspace height does not change.
+
+This pattern is appropriate when the user is working inside one coherent data
+domain and needs spatial continuity.
+
+## Workflow And Configuration Surfaces
+
+Use the standard heading/menu/card visual language for workflow structures,
+settings, administration, dashboards, and pages that collect essentially
+unrelated areas.
+
+Principles:
+
+- A page heading and subnavigation are appropriate when the page explains a
+  task, workflow stage, or administrative area.
+- Cards are appropriate for repeated independent panels, settings groups,
+  summaries, and dashboard widgets.
+- Collapsible panels and segmented controls are appropriate when a dense
+  configuration area needs controlled disclosure.
+- Avoid forcing workflow/configuration pages into a file-explorer style unless
+  the primary interaction is genuinely directory browsing.
+
+This pattern is appropriate when the user is comparing or configuring separate
+concerns rather than navigating one structured object space.
+
+## Shared Components
+
+Reusable layout components belong in `govoplan-core` WebUI. Modules may consume
+shared components from core, but must not import another module's private UI
+components directly.
+
+When a module-specific component becomes generally useful, promote it to core
+with a parameterized API before reusing it elsewhere.

+# Meta Repository Scan
+
+Scan date: 2026-07-13.
+
+This scan checked local repositories under `/mnt/DATA/git` listed in
+`repositories.json`.
+
+## Repository Inventory
+
+`repositories.json` already lists every checked-out GovOPlaN repository.
+
+Checked-out repositories not listed in `repositories.json`: none.
+
+Repositories listed in `repositories.json` but not checked out locally: none.
+
+The human-readable link index is `docs/REPOSITORY_INDEX.md`; the JSON file
+remains the machine-readable source of truth.
+
+## Meta-Owned Content
+
+These items are correctly owned by the meta repository:
+
+- `.gitea/workflows`: cross-repository CI and audit workflows.
+- `.gitleaks.toml`: whole-workspace secret scan policy.
+- `audit-reports`: whole-workspace audit output.
+- `dev/postgres`: shared development PostgreSQL service.
+- `dev/production-like`: production-like product validation composition.
+- `tools/checks`: whole-product checks and audit launchers.
+- `tools/gitea`: issue/wiki/label/backlog tooling.
+- `tools/launch`: product launch entry points.
+- `tools/release`: release catalog, lock, push, and release console tooling.
+- `tools/repo`: repository bootstrap, status, and metadata tooling.
+
+## Module-Local Content That Should Stay Local
+
+These paths look operational, but they are tied to one module's protocol or
+transport behavior and should stay in the owning repository for now:
+
+- `govoplan-campaign/dev/mail-testbed`: mail transport testbed for campaign.
+- `govoplan-files/dev/connectors`: WebDAV, Nextcloud, and SMB connector smoke
+  environment for files.
+
+The meta repo can later wrap these with aggregate commands, but the test-bed
+definitions should remain close to the module code unless they become a shared
+product deployment profile.
+
+## Generated Or Local-Only Content
+
+These should not move to the meta repo; they should be ignored or cleaned:
+
+- `__pycache__` directories under `tools/gitea` and module test beds.
+- `.venv` and `.ruff_cache` directories.
+- Populated `.env` files such as `govoplan-campaign/dev/mail-testbed/.env`.
+
+## Repo-Local Workflow Files
+
+Most module repositories have `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE` installed. These are
+repo-local generated copies of the shared workflow templates and are fine to
+keep in each repository.
+
+Repositories currently missing a `.gitea` directory in the local checkout:
+
+- `govoplan-dashboard`
+- `govoplan-evaluation`
+- `govoplan-poll`
+- `govoplan-rest`
+- `govoplan-soap`
+
+If those repositories should use the shared issue templates, run the meta repo
+installer from `govoplan/tools/gitea/gitea-install-workflow.py`.
+
+## Do Not Move
+
+The following stay in each module repository:
+
+- `pyproject.toml` and package dependency metadata.
+- Backend manifests and migrations.
+- Module-owned tests.
+- Module READMEs and module-specific docs.
+- WebUI package manifests and module frontend source.
+
+Those files describe or implement the module itself. The meta repo should
+catalog and orchestrate them, not become the owner of module code.

+# Module Contracts and Install Boundaries
+
+## Why Some Changes Require `pip install`
+
+GovOPlaN discovers runtime modules through Python package entry points in the
+`govoplan.modules` group. Core reads those entry points with
+`importlib.metadata.entry_points()`, imports the configured manifest factory, and
+then builds the module registry from the returned `ModuleManifest`.
+
+That means the Python environment must know that a package exists before core can
+discover it.
+
+In development, `requirements-dev.txt` installs modules with `-e
+../govoplan-module`. With editable installs:
+
+- normal Python source changes are picked up after the process reloads;
+- manifest code changes are picked up after the process reloads;
+- new imports inside an already installed package are picked up after reload.
+
+`pip install` is still needed when package metadata changes:
+
+- a repository was not installed in the environment before;
+- a `pyproject.toml` entry point is added, renamed, or removed;
+- package dependencies change;
+- optional extras change;
+- package names or import roots change;
+- console scripts or other installed metadata change;
+- release installs need a different tag, wheel, or source ref.
+
+The same principle applies to WebUI packages: source changes are local during
+development, but `package.json` dependency or export changes require an install
+step so the consuming app sees the correct package metadata.
+
+## Current Contract Mechanism
+
+Modules already announce contracts through `ModuleManifest`:
+
+- `dependencies`
+- `optional_dependencies`
+- `required_capabilities`
+- `optional_capabilities`
+- `provides_interfaces`
+- `requires_interfaces`
+- `capability_factories`
+- permissions and role templates
+- route factories, migrations, docs, lifecycle hooks, and frontend metadata
+
+Core validates the active manifest graph when it builds the registry. Release
+tooling can inspect those manifests to calculate compatibility and migration
+impact.
+
+## What Core Can and Cannot Pick Up Automatically
+
+Core can pick up contract changes automatically after reload when the changed
+module package is already installed and importable.
+
+Core cannot discover a new module or new entry point that has not been installed
+into the environment, because there is no distribution metadata to enumerate.
+
+Core also cannot notify every module about a contract change at edit time by
+itself. The runtime registry is built from installed/importable packages. The
+right place for cross-module announcement is the meta repo tooling and CI:
+
+- scan manifests across all repositories;
+- build an impact graph from provided/required interfaces and capabilities;
+- run affected module tests;
+- post Gitea issue/release notes for affected modules;
+- block releases when a required interface is missing or incompatible.
+
+## Mitigation Strategy
+
+Use three layers:
+
+1. Editable development environment.
+   Keep `requirements-dev.txt` in the meta repo as the one workspace installer.
+   Source edits then need process reloads, not repeated full installs.
+
+2. Versioned runtime contracts.
+   Keep adding and tightening `provides_interfaces`, `requires_interfaces`, and
+   capability protocols. Treat interface names and versions as public module
+   contracts.
+
+3. Meta-level contract audit.
+   The meta repo statically reads `src/**/backend/manifest.py` files across all
+   repositories and validates provided/required interface ranges without
+   importing the packages. CI blocks missing or incompatible required
+   interfaces before release installs are attempted.
+
+Run the static graph check with:
+
+```sh
+./tools/checks/check-contracts.sh
+```
+
+Use `--json` when the release console or another automation needs structured
+provider/consumer impact data.
+
+## Practical Rule
+
+Do not run `pip install` for every code edit. Run it when package metadata or the
+set of installed packages changes.
+
+For normal development:
+
+```sh
+./.venv/bin/python tools/repo/sync-python-environment.py --requirements requirements-dev.txt --python ./.venv/bin/python
+```
+
+Then restart the server when Python code or manifests change. The development
+launcher runs this helper automatically by default; set
+`GOVOPLAN_AUTO_SYNC_PYTHON=0` to disable that preflight.
+
+For release validation:
+
+```sh
+./.venv/bin/python tools/repo/sync-python-environment.py --requirements requirements-release.txt --python ./.venv/bin/python
+```
+
+That install is necessary because the release environment intentionally resolves
+tagged package refs, not local editable source trees.

+# GovOPlaN Release Console
+
+The release console is a local operator tool for planning and executing
+GovOPlaN releases. It belongs to the `govoplan` meta repository because it works
+across all local checkouts, release scripts, module manifests, migration audits,
+catalog files, Git state, and signing keys.
+
+The current implementation has a read-only dashboard plus guarded local
+candidate/publish actions:
+
+- inspect repositories from `repositories.json`
+- show dirty, ahead, behind, missing, no-HEAD, and tag state
+- show local package catalog and keyring state
+- optionally run release/dev migration audits
+- propose next actions without executing them
+- compare local catalog/keyring JSON with the published channel and public
+  keyring when online checks are enabled
+- configure target versions per release unit in the web UI
+- select the repositories that should advance through checkboxes
+- generate dry-run selective release plans for independently versioned packages
+- generate signed catalog candidates for the selected release units
+- preview/apply/push reviewed catalog candidates behind explicit confirmations
+
+Start it from the meta repository:
+
+```sh
+./.venv/bin/python tools/release/release-console.py
+```
+
+The server binds to `127.0.0.1` by default and prints a URL containing a local
+API token. Open that URL in a browser on the same machine.
+
+The web UI starts with a repository table. Each repository can be checked
+independently and assigned its own target version. Repositories without version
+metadata remain visible so they can be planned as initial releases. `Build Plan`
+shows the dry-run commands for the selected rows, and `Generate Candidate`
+creates a signed catalog candidate that advances only selected repositories that
+already have a catalog entry.
+
+The release-control area above the repository table is read-only and is meant
+to become the central release cockpit. It shows:
+
+- local and published channel health
+- catalog/keyring drift
+- signature and trusted-key status
+- published module versions and refs
+- local checkout version drift against the catalog
+- catalog-declared interface compatibility
+
+The target-version control can generate the next major, minor, or subversion
+from the current base version. Manual target input accepts explicit versions
+such as `0.2.0` or `0.2.0-alpha1`, but requires the first three version numbers
+to move forward.
+
+Plain repository pushes are separate from catalog publication. `Preview Push`
+shows the selected repository push commands. `Push Selected` requires `PUSH` in
+the repository push confirmation field.
+
+The catalog workflow panel can also operate on the same selected rows:
+
+- `Generate` creates a signed candidate below `runtime/release-candidates/`.
+- `Preview` validates a candidate and shows what would be copied into the
+  website repository.
+- `Apply + Tag` requires `APPLY` in the confirmation field.
+- `Push` requires `PUSH` in the confirmation field.
+
+The default signing key is
+`$HOME/.config/govoplan/release-keys/release-key-1.pem` when no signing key is
+entered in the UI.
+
+Generate a selective release plan from the terminal:
+
+```sh
+./.venv/bin/python tools/release/release-plan.py \
+  --repo govoplan-files \
+  --target-version 0.1.9 \
+  --channel stable \
+  --online
+```
+
+`--online` compares the local catalog/keyring with the published channel and
+published keyring. Use `--remote-tags` only when the plan also needs to check
+Git remotes for tag existence; that can be slower across the full repository
+set.
+
+Build a signed selective catalog candidate:
+
+```sh
+KEY_DIR="$HOME/.config/govoplan/release-keys"
+
+./.venv/bin/python tools/release/release-catalog.py selective \
+  --repo-version govoplan-files=0.1.9 \
+  --channel stable \
+  --catalog-signing-key "release-key-1=$KEY_DIR/release-key-1.pem"
+```
+
+This writes candidate catalog/keyring files below `runtime/release-candidates/`,
+generates the browsable module directory below `modules/`, validates the signed
+candidate with the module installer validator, and reports whether the candidate
+catalog/keyring match the currently published channel. It does not publish to
+the website repository.
+
+Regenerate the browsable module directory from an existing catalog/keyring:
+
+```sh
+./.venv/bin/python tools/release/release-catalog.py module-directory \
+  --catalog ../addideas-govoplan-website/public/catalogs/v1/channels/stable.json \
+  --keyring ../addideas-govoplan-website/public/catalogs/v1/keyring.json \
+  --output-dir runtime/module-directory-preview \
+  --channel stable
+```
+
+Preview publication of a reviewed candidate:
+
+```sh
+./.venv/bin/python tools/release/release-catalog.py publish-candidate \
+  --candidate-dir runtime/release-candidates/stable-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS \
+  --channel stable
+```
+
+Apply the reviewed candidate into the website repository without pushing:
+
+```sh
+./.venv/bin/python tools/release/release-catalog.py publish-candidate \
+  --candidate-dir runtime/release-candidates/stable-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS \
+  --channel stable \
+  --apply \
+  --commit \
+  --tag
+```
+
+Push is a separate explicit flag:
+
+```sh
+./.venv/bin/python tools/release/release-catalog.py publish-candidate \
+  --candidate-dir runtime/release-candidates/stable-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS \
+  --channel stable \
+  --apply \
+  --commit \
+  --tag \
+  --push
+```
+
+Published channels are expected below the public catalog base URL:
+
+- `https://govoplan.add-ideas.de/catalogs/v1/channels/stable.json`
+- `https://govoplan.add-ideas.de/catalogs/v1/keyring.json`
+
+The console treats channels as release artifacts. A package can advance without
+forcing every repository to the same tag, but channel publication must preserve
+the unchanged package versions, validate interface compatibility, sign the
+updated catalog, and keep the published keyring healthy.
+
+## Published Module Directory
+
+The target release repository is an online, browsable module directory. The
+catalog remains the machine-readable channel entry point, but the published
+space should also expose a tree that operators and installations can inspect:
+
+- `/catalogs/v1/channels/<channel>.json` describes the active channel state.
+- `/catalogs/v1/keyring.json` publishes trusted release signing keys.
+- `/catalogs/v1/modules/<module>/<version>/manifest.json` describes one
+  published module version, including repository refs, package refs, contracts,
+  compatibility windows, signatures, and available artifacts.
+- `/catalogs/v1/modules/<module>/index.json` lists available versions for
+  one module.
+- `/catalogs/v1/modules/index.json` lists all published modules.
+
+Gitea tags/releases remain the source release anchors. The public GovOPlaN
+catalog directory becomes the installation-facing release repository that points
+to those anchors and carries structured compatibility information.
+
+Selective catalog candidates now include this directory tree. Publishing a
+candidate copies the channel catalog, keyring, and `modules/` tree into the
+website repository together.
+
+Current limitation: selective catalog generation updates existing catalog
+entries. Initial catalog entry synthesis for brand-new modules is still a
+separate backend slice.
+
+## Direction
+
+The console should grow in slices:
+
+1. Read-only dashboard and next-action suggestions.
+2. Release plan builder that writes explicit JSON plans.
+3. Dry-run executor that shows exact commands and expected file changes.
+4. Apply executor for commit, tag, push, artifact build, signing, and catalog
+   publication.
+5. Compatibility planner for manifest contracts and version ranges.
+6. Install/test workflow that validates a release from tags or catalog entries.
+
+All mutation must stay explicit: plan first, dry run second, apply only after a
+clear confirmation.
