7cafa3c894 docs(seaweedfs+guacamole): replace MinIO with SeaweedFS as unified S3 encapsulation; add Guacamole to bp-relay
Component-level architectural correction (two changes):

1. MinIO → SeaweedFS as unified S3 encapsulation layer

The old design used MinIO for in-cluster S3 plus separate cold-tier configuration scattered across consumers. The new design positions SeaweedFS as the single S3 encapsulation layer: every Catalyst component talks to one endpoint (seaweedfs.storage.svc:8333). SeaweedFS internally handles hot tier (in-cluster NVMe), warm tier (in-cluster bulk), and cold tier (transparent passthrough to cloud archival storage — Cloudflare R2 / AWS S3 / Hetzner Object Storage / etc., chosen at Sovereign provisioning). One audit/lifecycle/encryption boundary instead of N. No Catalyst component talks to cloud S3 directly anymore — Velero, CNPG WAL archive, OpenSearch snapshots, Loki/Mimir/Tempo, Iceberg, Harbor blob store, Application buckets all share one S3 surface.

2. Apache Guacamole added as Application Blueprint §4.5 Communication

Clientless browser-based RDP/VNC/SSH/kubectl-exec gateway. Keycloak SSO, full session recording to SeaweedFS for compliance evidence (PSD2/DORA/SOX). Composed into bp-relay. Replaces VPN+native-client distribution for auditable remote access.

Component changes:
- DELETED: platform/minio/
- CREATED: platform/seaweedfs/README.md (unified S3 + cold-tier encapsulation; bucket layout; multi-region replication via shared cold backend; migration-from-MinIO section)
- CREATED: platform/guacamole/README.md (clientless remote-desktop gateway; GuacamoleConnection CRD; compliance integration via session recordings)

Doc updates: PLATFORM-TECH-STACK §1+§3.5+§4.5+§5+§7.4; TECHNOLOGY-FORECAST L11+mandatory+a-la-carte counts (52 → 53); ARCHITECTURE §3 topology; SECURITY §4 DB engines; SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING §1 inputs; SRE §2.5+§7; IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS §3; BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING stateful examples; BUSINESS-STRATEGY 13 component-count anchors + Relay product line; README.md backup row; CLAUDE.md folder count.

Component README updates (S3 endpoint + dependency renames): cnpg, clickhouse, flink, gitea, iceberg, harbor, grafana, livekit, kserve, milvus, opensearch, flux, stalwart, velero (substantive rewrite of velero — now writes exclusively to SeaweedFS with cold-tier auto-routing). Products: relay, fabric.

UI scaffold: products/catalyst/bootstrap/ui/src/shared/constants/components.ts — minio entry replaced with seaweedfs; velero+harbor deps updated; new guacamole entry added.

VALIDATION-LOG entry "Pass 104 — MinIO → SeaweedFS swap + Guacamole add" captures the encapsulation principle and adds Lesson #22: storage tier policy belongs at the encapsulation boundary, not inside every consumer.

Verification: zero remaining MinIO references in canonical docs (one intentional retention in TECHNOLOGY-FORECAST L37 explaining the swap); 53 platform/ folders matching all "53 components" anchors; bp-relay composition includes guacamole.

0a6179dd21 docs(unified-repo-model): collapse SME and corporate to one shape — Application = Gitea Repo
Architectural correction. Replaces the previous "one Gitea repo per Environment with Apps as folders" rule with a single uniform shape that scales by configuration only:

- Catalyst Application = one Gitea Repo (always, regardless of scale)
- Branches develop/staging/main map to dev/stg/prod environments
- 5 conventional Gitea Orgs per Sovereign: catalog (public mirror), catalog-sovereign (Sovereign-curated private Blueprints), one per Catalyst Organization (with shared-blueprints + N App repos), system (sovereign-admin scope)
- EnvironmentPolicy CR lives in system/catalyst-config/policies/, same shape for SME and corporate; only field values differ

Removes the SME-vs-corporate dual-shape design that violated the "Application is application" invariant. Teams primitive (proposed for corporate scale) is dropped — team boundaries emerge from CODEOWNERS at the App-repo level. RE-score thresholds and EnvironmentPolicy fields are universal defaults; only their values vary per Org's policy choice.

Files updated line-by-line: GLOSSARY (Application + Environment definitions, new Gitea-Orgs section, 6 component-row updates), NAMING §11.2 (Realization 7-bullet rewrite), ARCHITECTURE (§1, §3 topology, §4 write-side ASCII, §7.1+§7.2+§7.3, §8 promotion, §9 multi-App linkage), PERSONAS-AND-JOURNEYS (§2 surfaces, §4.1 Ahmed, §4.2 Layla full rewrite), BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING §1 (catalog-sovereign source location), PLATFORM-TECH-STACK §2.2+§2.3, SECURITY §3, SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING §5+§8+§10, IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS §5, SRE §14.

VALIDATION-LOG entry "Pass 103 — UNIFIED REPO MODEL REFACTOR" captures the architectural correction and acknowledges the prior 102-pass audit anchored on the wrong shape (text-shape consistency was correct; the chosen text-shape was inadequate). Lesson #21 added: text-shape audits don't substitute for architectural review.

Verification: zero remaining old-model assertions in canonical docs (grep clean for 'Environment Gitea repo', '/{org}/{org}-{env_type}', 'per-Environment Gitea repos', 'applications/<app>/values', etc.).

f4e99bb882 docs(pass-3): normalize muscatpharmacy Org-slug example consistency
PERSONAS-AND-JOURNEYS and SECURITY were using two competing slugs
for the same example Organization:
- "muscat-pharmacy" (with hyphen) — used as Org name + Environment
  name in the Ahmed journey narrative.
- "muscatpharmacy" (no hyphen) — used as the vcluster name in the
  same paragraph, and used everywhere else (NAMING-CONVENTION
  examples, ARCHITECTURE topology diagram, SECURITY SPIFFE ID).

NAMING §2.5 allows both spellings (Org slug regex permits hyphens).
But within a single example the spelling must be stable, otherwise
readers see a contradiction between Org and vcluster names.

Normalized to single-token "muscatpharmacy" throughout (matches the
predominant usage and produces simpler URLs / paths).

Result: all docs now show the same example Org consistently —
muscatpharmacy as Org, muscatpharmacy as vcluster, muscatpharmacy-prod
as Environment, gitea.omantel.openova.io/muscatpharmacy/muscatpharmacy-prod
as Environment Gitea repo.

8d351d7001 docs(iter-6-8): security/provisioning/blueprint corrections + OCI artifact naming
SECURITY (iter 6):
- "Environment repo" → "Environment Gitea repo" in §3 secrets diagram.
- "ChangePolicy enforces approvals" → "EnvironmentPolicy enforces
  approvals" in §9 SOC2 row (ChangePolicy was a fictional CRD —
  EnvironmentPolicy is the real one defined in ARCHITECTURE §8).
- "Catalyst's compliance-controller surfaces evidence" → "evidence
  surfaced via Catalyst console audit views and SIEM exports"
  (compliance-controller wasn't defined elsewhere; this avoids
  inventing new components in compliance prose).

SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING (iter 7):
- "vault-stored" → "stored in OpenBao on the provisioner"
  (Vault was replaced by OpenBao; "vault-stored" was generic English
  but read as a contradiction).

BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING (iter 8):
- OCI artifact naming locked: `ghcr.io/openova-io/bp-<name>:<semver>`
  where `<name>` is the folder name. The `bp-` prefix lives in the
  OCI artifact name (self-identifying), not the folder name.
  Fixed in §1, §10, §11, §13 — and propagated to README.md so the
  pattern is consistent across the repo.
- Crossplane Composition example: `compositeTypeRef.apiVersion`
  changed from `bp-wordpress.openova.io/v1alpha1` (per-Blueprint
  group, ugly) to `compose.openova.io/v1alpha1` (shared XRD group
  across all Blueprints).
- §11 CI pipeline final step: "publish blueprint.yaml as the
  manifest" → "as the OCI manifest's metadata layer" (clearer about
  what it does in the OCI sense).

80b91709e1 docs(iter-3-5): purge operator-as-entity, fix Workspace-controller capital, JetStream KV references
ARCHITECTURE (iter 3):
- Removed catalystctl from the §4 write-side diagram (it's read-only;
  presenting it as a write input contradicted §7.4).
- "Both tabs read the same Valkey snapshot" → "JetStream KV snapshot"
  in §5 (Valkey is no longer in the control plane).
- §7.4: catalystctl reframed as "may exist as small read-only debug
  CLI" rather than implying it ships today.
- §11 dependency list: added bp-catalyst-provisioning; removed
  bp-catalyst-crossplane (Crossplane is per-host-cluster infra, not a
  Catalyst control-plane component); added clarifying note.
- §12 CRD list: added SecretPolicy + Runbook (were already in
  IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS but missing from the principles table).
- §2 SME-style description: "SaaS Operator team (Omantel staff)" →
  "SaaS provider's cloud team" (Operator banned as entity).

NAMING-CONVENTION (iter 4):
- §5.1 heading "operator domain" → "Sovereign domain".
- §7 multi-region diagram: replaced piecemeal Catalyst component list
  with a deferral to PLATFORM-TECH-STACK §2; added SPIRE server;
  fixed "per-Org workspaces" → "per-Environment Gitea repos"; added
  per-host-cluster infrastructure callout.

SECURITY (iter 6 — partial; fold into this commit):
- "operator-approved" → "sovereign-admin-approved" for DR promotion.
- Realm name "catalyst-operator" → "catalyst-admin" (entity-noun
  scrubbed from the realm naming itself).

SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING (iter 7 — partial):
- "single operator's laptop" → "single person's laptop" (avoid
  "operator" as entity).
- "the next operator" → "the next Sovereign provisioning request,
  regardless of who initiates it".
- "catalyst-operator realm" → "catalyst-admin realm" (×2).
- Capital-W "Workspace-controller" residuals (3) → "Environment-
  controller" (replace_all is case-sensitive; previous iter caught
  lowercase only).

PERSONAS (iter 5):
- P3 "within a Sovereign Operator team" → "within a Sovereign's
  operations team".
- Two capital-W "Workspace-controller" residuals fixed.

SRE (iter 11 — partial):
- §13.2 "Workspace-controller stuck" runbook entry →
  "Environment-controller stuck".

Banned-term sweep result post-fix: no `Operator team|role|account|
user|admin` anywhere; no capital-W Workspace as Catalyst scope;
no Valkey-as-control-plane refs.

2c4902b409 docs(iter-1): add IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS, fix wrong-org refs, reconcile monorepo
First validation iteration. Three concrete corrections.

1. Add docs/IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS.md as the bridge between target
   architecture and current code state. Status legend ( / 🚧 / 📐 / ⏸)
   applied per-component. Catalyst control plane = mostly 📐. Component
   READMEs = 🚧 (README only, no Blueprint manifests yet). products/axon
   =  (only product with real code). core/ = 📐 (just .gitkeep).

2. Status banner added to ARCHITECTURE, SECURITY, SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING,
   BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING, PERSONAS-AND-JOURNEYS, PLATFORM-TECH-STACK, SRE
   pointing readers at IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS.md before they treat any
   described feature as built. GLOSSARY also references it.

3. Architectural decision (Option A — monorepo canonical):
   - Each platform/<name>/ and products/<name>/ folder is the source of
     ONE Blueprint, published as ghcr.io/openova-io/<name>:<semver> by
     CI fan-out from the monorepo root.
   - BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md §1, §2, §13 rewritten to match.
   - README.md "what's in this repo" rewritten to clarify monorepo +
     OCI-fan-out shape; no longer claims every directory is a Blueprint
     in a way that contradicts BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.

Wrong-org fixes (3 places):
   - docs/PERSONAS-AND-JOURNEYS.md:13   github.com/openova → openova-io
   - docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md:13     github.com/openova → openova-io
   - docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md:404    github.com/openova → openova-io
   - docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md ghcr.io/openova/* (3 refs) → openova-io

API group consistency:
   - All references unified to catalyst.openova.io/v1alpha1
     (was mixed v1 / v1alpha1; v1alpha1 is correct since the CRDs are
     design-stage with no implementation).

core/README.md updated to honestly describe the directory tree as
"target structure with .gitkeep placeholders" rather than implying
the apps/console, apps/projector, etc. binaries already exist.
The legacy apps/bootstrap and apps/manager directories are
acknowledged as transitional placeholders that will be removed when
the new apps/ layout is scaffolded.

CLAUDE.md and .claude/project-memory.md updated to put
IMPLEMENTATION-STATUS.md second in the read-first ordering.

d51a3fba4d docs: add canonical Catalyst documentation set
Six new docs that establish the unified Catalyst model — Sovereign as
deployed instance, Organization as multi-tenancy unit, Environment as
{org}-{env_type} scope, Application as user-facing handle, Blueprint as
unified module+template successor.

- docs/GLOSSARY.md           single source of truth for terminology;
                             every other doc defers to it; banned terms
                             (tenant, operator-as-entity, module, template,
                             Backstage, etc.) listed with replacements.

- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md       overall Catalyst architecture: control plane
                             vs application Blueprints, write path
                             (Git → Flux → K8s + Crossplane), read path
                             (CQRS via NATS JetStream → projector → SSE),
                             SPIFFE/SPIRE workload identity, OpenBao
                             independent Raft per region (no stretched
                             cluster), Keycloak per-Org (SME) vs
                             per-Sovereign (corporate).

- docs/PERSONAS-AND-JOURNEYS.md   personas × journeys matrix; only
                             three first-class surfaces (UI, Git, API);
                             explicit removal of Terraform/Pulumi/CLI as
                             user-facing IaC; Application card anatomy.

- docs/SECURITY.md           identity (workload + user), OpenBao + ESO
                             credential flow, dynamic credentials with
                             auto-rotation sidecar, multi-region
                             OpenBao (independent Raft per region with
                             async perf replication — explicitly NOT
                             stretched), rotation policy CRDs, threat
                             model.

- docs/SOVEREIGN-PROVISIONING.md   Phase 0 (catalyst-provisioner +
                             OpenTofu one-shot) → Phase 1 (Crossplane
                             adopts) → Phase 2 (self-sufficient Catalyst
                             control plane); air-gap procedure;
                             Organization migration; decommission.

- docs/BLUEPRINT-AUTHORING.md   Blueprint CRD spec, configSchema,
                             placementSchema, depends, manifests,
                             overlays; Crossplane Composition authoring
                             for non-K8s; signing/publishing pipeline;
                             public vs private (Org-scoped) visibility;
                             contribution path.
