CLAUDE.md was 1,324 lines and all of it was about the TypeScript half, written
before there was another half. Every line of it loaded on every turn regardless
of what was being worked on, which is a real cost paid constantly for context
that is usually irrelevant.
Split by where it applies, so each guide loads when you are in the directory it
describes:
packages/core/CLAUDE.md 694 domain modules, fn(), actor, errors, auth
apps/api/CLAUDE.md 284 routes, registration, error flow
docs/alchemy.md 345 stages, bindings, secrets, the CLI
CLAUDE.md 72 the repo, both toolchains, two hard rules
Nothing was rewritten or dropped — the three files are the original text,
verified identical after the split. What the root file now carries is only what
is true repo-wide: the layout, the commands, where the detail lives, and the two
rules that are not style preferences. One of those is that nothing closed may
enter this repo, which is here because it has already been caught once.
The README described a streaming platform in four bullets and did not mention
that half the repository is Rust that runs inside a virtual machine. It now says
what each component does, why a micro-VM rather than a container, what is
deliberately absent, and what decides whether a thing is open — data is, capacity
is not.
It also says plainly that this is mid-rewrite and the docs are behind. Someone
arriving at a repo whose documentation does not match its tree should be told
that by the README rather than discover it.

A Vulkan implicit layer that captures frames from inside the workload's own
process and encodes them on the GPU they were drawn on. Fourth and last of this
batch, imported as a tree from `nestrilabs/nescapture` on the same terms.
Filed under `apps/` rather than `crates/` despite building a cdylib. The rule
here is what a thing *is*, not what it compiles to: this is a finished artefact
that gets installed into an image beside its layer manifest, not a library
another crate in this tree depends on. `crates/` is for the latter, and putting
this there would make the distinction useless the first time someone looked.
Wired to the workspace, `nesprotocol` by path. Its description named the
transport component; that reads better as what it actually is — where the frames
go — so it says that instead.
Whole workspace builds and tests: 21 across four members.

Captures a session's audio and hands it to the transport over a local socket.
Third component in, imported as a tree from `nestrilabs/neswire` on the same
terms as the previous two.
Wired to the workspace, `nesprotocol` by path. 4 tests pass.
`bin/hub-stub.rs` is a stand-in for the transport's listener, which is what lets
this be developed and tested without the rest of a box existing. It names the
transport by its old name, and is left for the rename commit along with the two
in the compositor.

A headless Wayland compositor for a single fullscreen client, and the second
component into this repo. Imported as a tree from `nestrilabs/nescope` for the
same reason as the last one: the upstream repo is private, its history has never
been reviewed for publication, and a squash is what keeps that history from
becoming permanent here.
Wired to the workspace — versions from the root, `nesprotocol` by path instead
of a sibling directory. 8 tests pass.
It knows a lot about Steam, and all of it stays. `steam_app_*` window classes,
a launcher that exits before the game it started, a client that shows a login
screen with no Vulkan frames in it: that is third-party behaviour a compositor
for games has to handle, and describing it reveals nothing about how we are put
together. The rule is about topology, not vocabulary.
Two comments still name the transport by its old name and are left for the
commit that renames it, so that rename reads as one change rather than as
noise spread across four imports.

First component into this repo. Renamed from `nestri-protocol` — everything
else in the family carries the `nes` prefix and this was the odd one out.
**Imported as a tree, not as history.** The upstream repo is private, so its
commits and commit messages have never been reviewed for what may be published,
and squashing avoids the failure this project has already documented once: a
repo published wholesale carries private history with it, permanently. Origin is
`nestrilabs/nestri-protocol`, and this is its state today rather than its past.
The `control` module is deliberately left behind. It carries the host↔guest
control channel, and its types are shaped by a payload that has no business
being described in a public repo — a box is supposed to be able to run anything.
It was already an optional feature that nothing here enables, so leaving it out
costs nothing today and stops a boundary from being crossed by accident.
What lands is the media protocol: frames, audio, cursor, input and stats. One
definition shared by both ends, so no two can drift silently. 9 tests pass.
One pre-existing clippy warning (`input.rs`, too many arguments) is left alone
on purpose — an import commit should be a faithful copy, and mixing a cleanup
into one makes both harder to read.

This repository has been public without one, which grants nobody any rights —
the opposite of what a public repo is for, and a blocker on opening anything
else into it. Apache 2.0 was decided for this tier; this is that decision
applied, not a new one.

This repo holds both languages, so it needs both workspaces. Layout is the same
rule on each side — apps/ for what runs, crates/ and packages/ for what is
shared, split by what a thing is rather than what it is written in.
Members are empty because nothing has moved in yet. Versions are pinned once at
the root so two crates cannot disagree about a dependency.

Squashes the current state of the internal working tree onto this history.
The two trees had grown apart with no common ancestor, so this is a content
sync rather than a merge, and the published history is preserved rather than
rewritten — a force-push here would break every existing fork and clone to no
benefit.
What lands:
- Waitlist: API route, core module, and migration 0006 alongside game aliases.
- User verification.
- CI, oxfmt config, editor settings.
- Assorted fixes across the API routes and core modules.
The repository's own README, the wordmark and the per-package READMEs are kept
from this side; the internal tree had dropped them and they are what a stranger
arriving here reads first.
The marketing site in the internal tree is deliberately not here. It is a
separate product with its own repo and its own licence, and this repo is the
open one — a closed component does not belong in it regardless of how convenient
the directory looked.
