Delegation diagram as rings of circles; stop showing Simple Research as the mobile app
- The diagram is redrawn as concentric rings of uniform circles, not filled
  bands: the Plugin Studio ring labels itself, the seven plugins sit on the
  plugin ring, one agent per plugin sits outside it joined by a line and an
  arrow ("each plugin has one agent responsible for building it"), and one
  shepherd sits outside the agent ring. The race framing is gone. SVG source
  updated with the PNG.
- Deployment method 2: Simple Research was never built for phones, so it is
  no longer the mobile example. UPG-100 is; its screenshot lands when its
  phone layout is finished. The shot is removed from readme-shots, with the
  reason and the planned replacement in a comment.
- Retook nine screenshots that the latest bundle rebuilds had made stale.

# dx-maps — one build, maps that embed everywhere
**Write a map once in `plugin-designs/<your-map>/`, run one build, and drop it on any site** —
iframe, script embed, mobile app — or open every map at once as one app. Five plugin
capabilities, five deployment methods, one shared library, one build.
| What dx-maps set out to do | Proof |
|---|---|
| **One build → one folder** you can drop on any host | `bun run check:drop` |
| **Every map embeddable** from a copy-paste snippet | [deployment methods](#the-5-deployment-methods) · `bun run check:embed-targets` |
| **Every map interoperable** through props and events | `bun run verify:interop` |
| **One app nests every map** — and each stays embeddable on its own | [capability 5](#capability-5--app-shell-the-research-gallery) · `bun run check:composite-reg` |
| **5 capabilities × 5 deployment methods** | `bun run verify:5-caps` |
| **Shared library, private plugins** — reuse without breaking each other | `bun run check:library-index` |
| **One agent per plugin, one shepherd, one green `main`** | [agent swarm](#build-it-with-an-agent-swarm) |

## The 5 plugin capabilities
A capability is **how much a plugin nests**, from one element (1) to an app of apps (5). Every
screenshot is a real bundle from this repo's build.
### Capability 5 — app shell: the Research Gallery
One plugin, one element (`<doxa-maps-spa>`), and every tab inside it is a real plugin from a lower
tier that you can still embed on its own. `plugin-designs/doxa-maps-spa/`
![Capability 5 — the Research Gallery app shell (doxa-maps-spa)](documentation/readme-images/cap5-doxa-maps-spa.png)

### Capability 4 — composite: plugins wired together
Nests lower-tier plugins and wires them with props and events. `plugin-designs/my-upg-100-list/`
![Capability 4 — the UPG-100 composite (my-upg-100-list)](documentation/readme-images/cap4-upg100-mfe.png)
| List (cap 1, embeddable alone) | Poster wall (cap 1, embeddable alone) |
|---|---|
| ![UPG-100 list leaf](documentation/readme-images/cap4-upg100-list.png) | ![UPG-100 poster-wall leaf](documentation/readme-images/cap4-upg100-poster-wall.png) |
### Capability 3 — multi-view: many views, one element
`plugin-designs/doxa-research-map/`
![Capability 3 — the monolithic research map (doxa-research-map)](documentation/readme-images/cap3-monolithic-research.png)
### Capability 2 — presets: one plugin, many maps
One `root.vue` plus a preset table. `plugin-designs/doxa-simple-map/`
| Prayer | Engagement | Adoption |
|--------|------------|----------|
| ![Capability 2 — prayer preset (doxa-simple-map)](documentation/readme-images/cap2-prayer.png) | ![Capability 2 — engagement preset (doxa-simple-map)](documentation/readme-images/cap2-engagement.png) | ![Capability 2 — adoption preset (doxa-simple-map)](documentation/readme-images/cap2-adoption.png) |
### Capability 1 — single element
One folder, one `.vue`, one element. `plugin-designs/all-people-groups/`
![Capability 1 — a single-element plugin (all-people-groups)](documentation/readme-images/cap1-single-element.png)

## The 5 deployment methods
### 1. iframe — the prayer map on any site ✅ production
One `<iframe>` tag, no build step. Copy the `embed.iframe` snippet from `manifest.json`.
![Method 1 — the prayer map embedded in a host page's iframe](documentation/readme-images/deploy1-iframe.png)
### 2. Mobile app — UPG-100 on a phone 🛠️ in progress
The UPG-100 list, shipped on its own as a Capacitor app. It is being finished for phones now;
its screenshot lands here when it is ready. `bun run check:mobile` · `bun run phone` (needs
Android SDK + JDK 17)
### 3. JavaScript embed — the Research Gallery on dx-life ✅ production
The whole capability-5 app on the dx-life research page, from one `<script src>` and one element —
replacing the separate research map, list and regions dashboards the page used to carry. Copy the
`embed.script` snippet (SRI-pinned) from `manifest.json`.
![Method 3 — the Research Gallery JS-embedded on the dx-life research page](documentation/readme-images/deploy3-js-embed-dxlife.png)
### 4. WordPress / Disciple Tools plugin — 🧪 proof of concept
A shortcode + block plugin in `deployment/wordpress/`; its contract test passes
(`bun run check:wp-embed`). Proven, not production-ready.
### 5. Desktop app (Tauri) — 🧪 proof of concept
A desktop binary and `.deb` build from `deployment/src-tauri/` (`bun run check:tauri`). Proven,
not production-ready.
> **Mapbox token:** the dev server bakes one in; built pages take `?tk=pk.…`, a pasted token, or a
> token endpoint. Or skip Mapbox entirely: `provider: "maplibre"` on any instance renders on MapLibre
> with no key. Every command and prerequisite:
> [documentation/README-SECTION-3-cli-commands.md](./documentation/README-SECTION-3-cli-commands.md).

## Build it with an agent swarm
Every plugin has **one agent** responsible for building it, working in its own git worktree. The
plugins live together in the **Plugin Studio** — one repo, one shared library — and **one shepherd**
makes sure every agent is doing its job well. Changes land on `main` through a **merge queue** (the
model behind GitHub's merge queue and GitLab's merge trains): one at a time, rebased and gated.
![The delegation model: the Plugin Studio at the centre, a ring of plugins around it, one agent per plugin outside that, and one shepherd over all the agents](documentation/readme-images/delegation-model.png)
```bash
# one worktree + one agent per plugin
git worktree add -b regions/work ../dx-maps-regions main
git worktree add -b upg100/work ../dx-maps-upg100 main
# one dev server per agent, each on its own port
bun x vite --port 5301 --strictPort
# land through the queue: one at a time, rebased, gated
flock /tmp/dx-maps-main.lock sh -c '
git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main &&
bun run gates:pre && git push origin HEAD:main'
```
One agent owns the full build (it wipes the shared output first); everyone else checks their own
bundle with `BUNDLE=<name> bun x vite build`. Agents joining this repo: read
[AGENT-BRIEF.md](./AGENT-BRIEF.md).
Diagram source: [`delegation-model.svg`](./documentation/readme-images/src/delegation-model.svg).

## The Plugin Studio — ★ where you work
Every plugin in one place, sorted by capability. Pick any plugin to run it live, see what it is
composed of, and copy its embed code. Tell your agent which plugins to **group**, and it composes
them into a higher-capability plugin with props, events and a layout — that is how the Research
Gallery was built. *(The studio is being redesigned; this screenshot tracks it.)*
![Capability 5 — the developer studio (plugin-studio)](documentation/readme-images/cap5-plugin-studio.png)
### Get it running
You need **git**, **[Bun](https://bun.sh)** and **Node ≥ 18**.
```bash
git clone https://git.nuxtbase.app/doxa-life/doxa-maps.git
cd doxa-maps
bun install --frozen-lockfile
bun run dev # → http://localhost:5173/ is the Plugin Studio
```
No build needed first — the built tree is committed. To start a plugin, copy
`plugin-designs/template-bundle/` to `plugin-designs/<your-map>/`; the studio finds it automatically.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| `bun run dev` | The Plugin Studio, hot-reloading, at http://localhost:5173 |
| `BUNDLE=<name> bun x vite build` | Build one bundle only |
| `BUILD_ALLOW=1 bun run build` | The full deployable tree in `public/doxa-maps/` (~4 min; refuses without the flag, to protect a shared tree) |
| `bun run serve` | Serve the built tree at http://localhost:4173 |
| `bun run check:settled` | Exit 0 = the built tree is safe to measure right now |
| `bun run gates:pre` · `bun run gates:post` | The verification gates |
| `bun run shots` | Regenerate these screenshots (`ONLY=<name>` for one) |
