About the reference

The reference section is the exact, terse layer under the rest of this site: what every command does, what every word means, and where the design decisions are written down.

• Glossary: the project’s vocabulary, one paragraph each.
• rrn command reference and station command reference: the built-in help for every command, generated from the code.
• Configuration: every key in config.toml with its default, the environment variables, and the data-directory layout.
• Architecture decision records: the locked-decision record, with links.
• Wire specifications: QR payloads, bundles, SMS, the boot ceremony.

What is authoritative

This site explains. The station repo decides. In order of authority:

1. The ADRs in station/docs/adr/. Append-only; a changed decision gets a new ADR that supersedes the old one.
2. The wire specs in station/docs/spec/.
3. The design overview in station/docs/design/, which predates parts of the implementation and says so where it conflicts with an ADR.
4. This site.

If a page here disagrees with an ADR, the page has a bug. Tell us.
