# arah² — Architecture
## System Overview
arah² is a Telegram-first GPS navigator: a grammY bot (`arah2bot`) running as a single
Cloudflare Worker serves both the Telegram webhook **and** the static Mini App bundle
served from the same origin. The Mini App (`@araharah/web`, a Vite + MapLibre GL
application) authenticates with the Worker by posting its verbatim
`Telegram.WebApp.initData` to `POST /api/session`, receives a short-lived opaque bearer
token, and then acquires a position through a three-link chain (Telegram
`LocationManager` → WebView `navigator.geolocation` → chat-relayed pin). Searching a
destination and routing to it are real today: `@araharah/search` is the in-Worker
gazetteer (search backend #1 of the D-01 ladder), and `@araharah/routing` is the
routing data plane — its CSR road-graph codec, snapper, and A\* power **engine A**,
the Worker-side router (`bot/src/routing/worker-router.ts`) that routes over a
ROAD_GRAPH R2-hosted KL road-graph binary through `POST /api/route`. Guidance is
end-to-end: a turn-card cron (the repo's first Cron Trigger, `*/2 * * * *`) pushes
turn-cards into the chat from a TTL-only guidance envelope, statelessly. All durable
state is TTL-only — one Cloudflare KV namespace (`chat_sessions`, plus `guidance:*`
envelopes in it) — so the system has no database, no persistent storage, and no
analytics. `@araharah/theme` is the shared design-token package: it compiles Tailwind
v4 CSS consumed by the web app and is the derivation source for the Rams basemap style
the map renders.
Architecturally this is a **five-workspace npm monorepo in a layered/hexagonal
arrangement**: a stateless edge worker with a KV repository layer and an embedded
search index plus A\* router, a framework-free TypeScript client with its own
repository, adapter, route, and guidance layers, and two pure V8-native data-plane
packages (search, routing) that both the worker and the client import — and a pure
build-time token/cartography package underneath.

```
`@araharah/search` and `@araharah/routing` are the shared V8-native data planes: the
**bot Worker** imports them at runtime (gazetteer search, graph decode, snap, A\*),
the **web app** imports the same sources at build time (destination resolution, the
`RoutingSource` ladder, polyline decoding). Neither data plane reads the environment,
the network, or storage. `@araharah/theme` stays web-only (`"@araharah/theme": "*"`
in `web/package.json` — `dist/rams.css` in `web/src/shell.css`,
`basemap/liberty-rams.json` in `web/src/map/map.ts`). The bot has no workspace
dependency on theme or web; its coupling to web is a **build-order coupling only** —
the root `build` script builds theme then web, and the Worker's `[assets]` binding
points at `../web/dist`.
Both data-plane packages have **no `exports`/`main` field** — consumers import the
explicit subpath with extension, e.g. `@araharah/search/src/index.ts` and
`@araharah/routing/src/index.ts`. A bare package specifier resolves to nothing.
## Data Flow
### 1. Telegram command surface (bot → chat)
Telegram delivers an update to `POST /telegram/webhook`. The Worker first fails closed
if `WEBHOOK_SECRET` is unset, then hands the request to grammY's
`webhookCallback(bot, "cloudflare-mod", …)`, which constant-time-compares the
`X-Telegram-Bot-Api-Secret-Token` header. `createBot(env)` is instantiated **per
request** (the token only arrives with `env`), registers the command stack, and grammY
dispatches:
```
POST /telegram/webhook → webhookCallback (secret check) → createBot(env)
→ registerStart / registerHelp / registerPrivacy → pickLocale(language_code)
→ ctx.reply(plain text, link_previews disabled)
```
`createBot` also builds ONE memoized gazetteer `SearchSource` (backend #1) shared
between the `/cari` + `/search` command surface (`bot/src/bot/commands/cari.ts`) and
the alternates switcher (`bot/src/bot/handlers/search-alternate.ts`): `/cari` renders
a venue card whose OPEN button deep-links `/?dest=` (origin from the
configured `MINI_APP_URL` var, never user input), and the alternates handler swaps the
selected entry via a callback. The venue card's inline buttons and the
location-fallback reply keyboard are the two documented exceptions to the
plain-text-only command rule.
All user-facing copy comes from `bot/src/i18n/strings.ts`; `bot/scripts/register-commands.mjs`
derives the persistent `/setMyCommands` menu descriptions from the same `helpMenu` lines,
so menu and reply cannot drift.
### 2. Mini App boot (session handshake)
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant WA as WebApp webview
participant MAIN as web/src/main.ts
participant SESS as session/client.ts
participant WK as Worker /api/session
participant ID as security/initdata.ts
participant KV as KV chat_sessions
MAIN->>MAIN: applySafeArea(resolveSafeInsets(wa))
MAIN->>MAIN: bootMap() mounts MapLibre FIRST
MAIN->>MAIN: register strip, cards, recenter
MAIN->>SESS: createSession(wa.initData) [verbatim string]
SESS->>WK: POST /api/session, body = initData (≤ 4 KB)
WK->>ID: validateInitData(raw, BOT_TOKEN)
ID-->>WK: ok | malformed | tampered | stale
WK->>KV: mintSession(chat_sessions, claim)
KV-->>WK: opaque UUID token
WK-->>SESS: 200 { token }
SESS->>SESS: setSession(token) [module scope only]
```
The HMAC path: `dataCheckString` = all initData fields **minus `hash` only**, sorted by
field name, joined with `\n`; secret key = `HMAC-SHA256(key="WebAppData",
message=botToken)`; check = `HMAC-SHA256(key=secretKey, message=dataCheckString)`
compared in constant time against `hash`. `signature` participates in the check.
`auth_date` older than 900 s is rejected as `stale`.
### 3. Location acquisition chain

L2 -->|"no fix"| L3
L3 -->|"yes: bounded 60s poll"| LIVE
L3 -->|"poll expired"| DEN1
L3 -->|"no token"| DEN2
```
Link 1 (`telegram.ts`) calls `LocationManager.init()` then `getLocation()`, with a hard
8 s wrapper timeout because the API documents no timeout. A byte-identical fix to the
last accepted one routes to the nudge: one **discarded** webview read refreshes the
Android native cache, then telegram is retried. Link 2 (`webview.ts`) calls
`navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition` with `maximumAge: 0`. Link 3
(`chat-pin.ts`) polls `GET /api/location` every 2 s for at most 60 s.
### 4. Chat-pin relay (the Desktop-Telegram path)
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant U as User (chat)
participant B as Bot handler
participant KV as KV loc:chat_id
participant MA as Mini App
participant W as Worker
MA->>W: POST /api/location-fallback (Bearer token)
W->>W: getClaimByToken → claim.chat_id
W->>B: requestLocationFallback(bot, chat_id, locale)
B->>U: reply keyboard, request_location: true
U->>B: taps button, native location picker
B->>KV: writePin(kv, chat_id, { lat, lng, acc }) expirationTtl 300
loop every 2 s, bounded 60 s
MA->>W: GET /api/location (Bearer token)
W->>KV: getPin(chat_sessions, claim.chat_id)
KV-->>W: LocationPin | null
W-->>MA: { pin } (200) or { pin: null }
end
```
Both `/api/location` and `/api/location-fallback` derive the target `chat_id` from the
**resolved session claim**, never from client input, and derive locale from
`claim.language_code`. Telegram has no push channel from chat to webview, so this poll
is server-mediated by necessity.
### 5. Destination deep-link (search, both carriers)
The destination id is a **plain public gazetteer slug** — no crypto, no token anywhere
on this path. `web/src/search/resolve-destination.ts` reads it from TWO carriers in a
fixed order with ONE shared validation (`[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,64}`, optional `dest_` wire
prefix):
1. **PRIMARY — the URL query string** (`?dest=`): the `/cari` OPEN inline-button
path; Telegram opens the button's URL verbatim in the webview.
2. **SECONDARY — `start_param` inside the SIGNED initData string**: the documented
direct-link (`t.me/?startapp=`) and home-screen-shortcut path, treated as
an untrusted exact-lookup key.
The id resolves against the webview's **own build-time copy of the shared gazetteer**
(`@araharah/search` inlined by Vite). A hit renders the destination card with a
START-route action; a miss renders the honest "destination unavailable" card and the
boot continues staged — never a blank map. The resolved entry lives in module scope
(memory only); nothing persists.
### 6. Route consult (engine A over R2)
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant MAIN as main.ts (auto-consult, once per boot)
participant CTRL as route/route.ts
participant HTTP as http-source.ts (backend #2 seam)
participant W as Worker /api/route
participant G as loadGraph (R2 ROAD_GRAPH)
participant A as snapToGraph + routeAstar
MAIN->>CTRL: route { origin: fix, destinationId }
CTRL->>HTTP: POST endpoint (injected), bearer = memory token
HTTP->>W: { origin, destinationId } (≤ 4 KB)
W->>W: getClaimByToken — Bearer claim gate
W->>G: R2 GET kl-roadgraph.v1.bin (ONE per cold isolate, memoized)
G-->>W: RoadGraph | null
W->>A: bbox-check origin → snap origin → snap destination → A*
A-->>W: RouteResult | null
W-->>HTTP: 200 { result } | 200 JSON null
HTTP-->>CTRL: RouteResult | null (fail-honest)
```
`bot/src/routing/worker-router.ts` is engine A's whole server surface: the decoded
graph memoizes per isolate (`loadGraph` — the ONLY R2 loader, shared with the cron
arm), the origin is bbox-checked against `graph.bbox` before any snap/A\* work, and
**every miss class answers `200 null`** — unknown destination, snap miss, unreachable
pair, absent/corrupt graph — the honest router-pending state (never a 500, never a
fake route). Alternatives generation is prohibited on this path: exactly one best
route. The client composes the ladder at the import site —
`createFixtureRoutingSource` (backend #1, the 15-pair golden corpus) followed by
`createHttpRoutingSource` (engine A) — with the null contract end to end.
### 7. Guidance (mint → resume → cron push)
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant MA as Mini App
participant W as Worker /api/guidance
participant KV as KV guidance:id (7200s)
participant C as scheduled() every 2 min
MA->>W: POST /api/guidance (Bearer) — six-field route snapshot
W->>W: getClaimByToken → chat_id minted from the CLAIM (body chat_id structurally ignored)
W->>KV: mintGuidanceSession — inline snapshot, expirationTtl 7200
KV-->>W: envelope (uuid id)
W-->>MA: 201 { id }
Note over MA: webview killed / phone locked
MA->>W: GET /api/guidance?id= — resume carrier ?g=
W->>KV: getGuidanceSession — foreign or absent are indistinguishable 404s
KV-->>MA: envelope → straight into the live trip
loop every 2 min (stateless — zero KV writes)
C->>KV: list prefix guidance: → getGuidanceSession per key
C->>C: projectTurnCards(envelope, nowSec, streetAt(loadGraph))
C->>MA: sendPhoto glyph + OPEN (?g=) — due cards only, cadence 240 s
end
```
The envelope is the **frozen Phase 5 contract**: exactly four fields (`id`, `chat_id`,
`route_snapshot`, `created_at`); the snapshot is INLINE (one key, one TTL) with six
fields (`destinationId`, `destinationName`, `distanceM`, `durationS`, `geometry`
polyline6, `startedAtSec`). Every write carries `expirationTtl: 7200` on the same call
line — the PG1 TTL law covers this file. On the web side,
`web/src/guidance/guidance.ts` is the pure reroute state machine (`idle → on_route →
off_route → resuming/rerouting → arrived`, accuracy-aware threshold, 20 s storm guard)
and `web/src/guidance/watch.ts` is the throttled `watchPosition` stream (guidance work
runs on ≥ 10 m moved or ≥ 5 s elapsed — fixes are consumed in the caller's frame and
never transmitted).
### 8. Worker routing table
| Method | Path | Handler in `bot/src/webhook.ts` | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| POST | `/telegram/webhook` | inline in `fetch()` | grammY webhook adapter + secret-token compare |
| POST | `/api/session` | `handleSession` | initData → one-time opaque session token |
| GET | `/api/location` | `handleLocation` | Bearer-authenticated chat-pin relay |
| POST | `/api/location-fallback` | `handleLocationFallback` | Ask the bot to send the reply keyboard |
| POST/GET/DELETE | `/api/guidance` | `handleGuidance` | Mint / resume / delete the 7200 s guidance envelope |
| POST | `/api/route` | `handleRoute` (in `src/routing/worker-router.ts`) | Bearer-gated engine-A routing over the R2 road graph |
| * | anything else | — | 404 |
`run_worker_first: ["/api/*", "/telegram/*"]` guarantees the Worker's `fetch` owns these
paths before the static asset fallback runs; every other path resolves to the `web/dist`
bundle. The same `fetch` handler also exports `scheduled()` — the `*/2` cron that runs
the turn-card push (flow 7).

The root scripts encode the ordering: `npm run build` = `build -w theme && build -w web`;
`npm run deploy` = `npm run build && npm run deploy -w bot` (which is
`wrangler deploy && node scripts/set-webhook.mjs`). `bot/wrangler.jsonc` binds
`assets.directory` to `../web/dist`, so `web/dist` must exist before a bot deploy.
The road-graph binary is a separate provisioning track (never a build prerequisite):
`routing/scripts/build-road-graph.mjs` writes `routing/data/kl-roadgraph.v1.bin`
(~15 MB, a build artifact that is NOT committed) and
`routing/scripts/upload-road-graph.mjs` puts it on R2 — the fork contract is
`docs/ROAD-GRAPH.md`.
The two web builds never share an outDir: `vite.config.ts` sets
`outDir: "dist-harness"` only under `--mode harness` and defines
`__ARAHARAH_HARNESS__` to `true` there and `false` everywhere else, so the mock
installer and the `fetch` stubs in `web/index.html` are dead-code-eliminated from
production. `web/test/build-artifact.test.mjs` (BA1–BA10) proves the shipped bundle
references no third-party CDN, self-hosts the woff2 fonts, contains the inlined Rams
style, and carries neither `installMockWebApp` nor `__ARAHARAH_MOCK__`. The turn-card
glyphs (`web/public/glyphs/*.png`, rendered by `routing/scripts/build-glyphs.mjs`) are
static assets the cron references as `${MINI_APP_URL}/glyphs/.png`.
## Key Abstractions
### `@araharah/bot`
| Abstraction | File | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Env` | `bot/src/config.ts` | Typed contract: `BOT_TOKEN`, `WEBHOOK_SECRET` (non-empty — the webhook fails closed without it), `chat_sessions: KVNamespace`, `ROAD_GRAPH: R2Bucket` (first R2 binding), `MINI_APP_URL` (public deep-link origin). |
| `createExportedHandler(opts)` | `bot/src/webhook.ts` | The `ExportedHandler` factory — six fetch routes plus `scheduled()`; 404 otherwise. Production passes nothing; offline tests inject a recording `baseFetch`. |
| `validateInitData(raw, botToken, opts)` | `bot/src/security/initdata.ts` | Pure HMAC-SHA256 validation of Telegram WebApp initData. Depends only on `crypto.subtle`, so it runs unchanged in Workers and bare Node. Returns `InitDataResult`. |
| `SessionClaim` / `mintSession` / `getClaimByToken` / `getTokenForChat` | `bot/src/kv/sessions.ts` | TTL-only session layer. `SESSION_TTL_SECONDS = 900`. Key scheme `session:` → claim, `chat:` → current token. Rotate-on-new with a best-effort reconciliation sweep. |
| `LocationPin` / `writePin` / `getPin` / `clearPin` | `bot/src/kv/location-pin.ts` | TTL-only pin layer. `PIN_TTL_SECONDS = 300`. Key `loc:`. `getPin` range-validates on read. |
| `GuidanceSessionEnvelope` / `GuidanceRouteSnapshot` / `mint/get/deleteGuidanceSession` / `GUIDANCE_KEY_PREFIX` | `bot/src/kv/guidance-sessions.ts` | The frozen four-field envelope (six-field inline snapshot), `GUIDANCE_SESSION_TTL_SECONDS = 7200`, key `guidance:`. Defensive reads (garbage → null); ids UUID-guarded before any KV touch. |
| `handleRoute` / `loadGraph` | `bot/src/routing/worker-router.ts` | Engine A's server surface: Bearer claim gate, 4 KB body cap, bbox pre-check, snap → A\* over the R2-hosted graph, `200 null` for every miss. `loadGraph` is the ONLY R2 loader — one memoized GET per cold isolate, shared with the cron arm. |
| `projectTurnCards` / `makeStreetAt` | `bot/src/guidance/cron.ts` | The PURE projection over the frozen snapshot — when a card is due (`nowSec % CARD_CADENCE_S < SCAN_TICK_S`), glyph + caption composition, street reconstruction from the graph. `CARD_CADENCE_S = 240`; the cron is stateless (zero KV writes). |
| `createBot(env, opts)` | `bot/src/bot/bot.ts` | grammY factory; wires `/start` + `/mula`, `/help`, `/privacy` + `/privasi`, `/cari` + `/search`, the alternates switcher, and the location-fallback handler. Builds one shared gazetteer `SearchSource`. |
| `registerCari(bot, source, origin)` | `bot/src/bot/commands/cari.ts` | The search command surface: venue card with OPEN deep link (`?dest=`) and alternates callbacks — the second documented exception to the text-only rule. |
| `requestLocationFallback(bot, chatId, locale)` | `bot/src/bot/handlers/location-fallback.ts` | Sends the `request_location` reply keyboard. Single caller: `handleLocationFallback`. |
| `strings` / `pickLocale` | `bot/src/i18n/strings.ts` | The bot's entire copy surface (`en`, `ms`). `pickLocale` maps an `ms`/`ms-*` language code to Malay, everything else to English. |
| `KvLike` | `bot/src/kv/*.ts` | Structural KV interface (module-private, not exported — the derived `MintSessionKv`/`LocationPinKv`/`GuidanceSessionKv` are the public surface) — lets tests pass a fake without depending on Workers types. |
### `@araharah/search`
| Abstraction | File | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `SearchSource` | `search/src/types.ts` | The pluggable search seam: async `search(q)` + synchronous `byId(id)`. The documented ladder is backend #1 (gazetteer, shipped) with later rungs slotted at the import site — no env read, no registry. |
| `createGazetteerSource()` | `search/src/source.ts` | Backend #1. The refusal contract is load-bearing: an EMPTY array means "not in the v1 area" — never a fabricated pin. Ranking is score-band DESC then entry-id ASC (deterministic tie-break). |
| `search(text, limit)` | `search/src/source.ts` | The synchronous scoring path — shared by the bot, the Mini App, and the corpus runner: the measured quality IS the shipped quality. |
| `getEntries` / `getEntryById` / `getIndex` | `search/src/gazetteer.ts` | The lazy, memoized index over a static JSON import (`data/kl-gazetteer.json`, ODbL notice inside). Three laws: lazy + memoized (never module-scope work), survives three environments (Worker bundle, Vite bundle, bare Node), no logging/storage. |
| `scoreCandidate` / `TIER` / `FUZZY_ADMIT_SIMILARITY` | `search/src/score.ts` | Tiered admission — EXACT / ALIAS_EXACT / PREFIX / TOKEN_SET bands always admitted; FUZZY only at similarity ≥ 0.72. `normalize` (with `rules/abbreviations.ts`) canonicalizes both sides of every comparison. |
| `GazetteerEntry` | `search/src/types.ts` | `id` (slug), `name`, `aliases`, coordinates, category — the entry shape every carrier (bot card, webview resolver, guidance snapshot) reduces to. |
### `@araharah/routing`
| Abstraction | File | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `RoutingSource` | `routing/src/types.ts` | The pluggable routing seam: `route(req) → RouteResult \| null`. Backend ladder: #1 `"fixture"` → #2 `"engine-a"` (LIVE, via `/api/route`) → engine B (client-side webview router, documented post-v1). Selection happens at the import site in code — no env read, no registry. |
| `RouteResult` / `RouteOption` / `RouteStep` / `RouteGeometry` | `routing/src/types.ts` | Day-one contract: options 1..3 (index 0 = best), `cumulativeDistanceM` parallel to points (the guidance projection contract), polyline6 `geometry`, optional `kind` maneuver tags. Fixture-world steps are empty arrays — honest "not wired". |
| `RoadGraph` / `encodeGraph` / `decodeGraph` | `routing/src/graph.ts` | The CSR road-graph binary codec (`GRAPH_MAGIC`, `GRAPH_VERSION`) — the on-disk form of `kl-roadgraph.v1.bin`. V8-native, dependency-free, no network. |
| `snapToGraph` / `SnapResult` | `routing/src/snap.ts` | Snaps a raw fix onto the graph (bbox-margined); the origin of every route computation and of the cron's street reconstruction. |
| `routeAstar` / `deriveSteps` / `classifyTurn` | `routing/src/astar.ts` | The A\* engine plus the maneuver classifier (`depart`/`left`/…/`arrive`) that feeds both the webview guidance machine and the cron's turn cards. |
| `createFixtureRoutingSource` | `routing/src/fixture-source.ts` | Backend #1: the committed 15-pair golden KL corpus (`data/route-fixtures.json` + `test/fixtures/golden-pairs.json`). Demo-grade by design; the tolerance gate is `npm run routing:corpus`. |
| `createHttpRoutingSource(options)` | `routing/src/http-source.ts` | Engine A's client seam: injected `endpoint` + `bearer` getter, defensively validates every response field, resolves null on any failure (the null contract crossing HTTP). Never holds or persists the token. |
| `decodePolyline6` / `encodePolyline6` / `haversineM` / `deriveCumulativeDistanceM` | `routing/src/polyline.ts`, `routing/src/geo.ts` | The storage geometry format and the ONE distance authority — every distance in the system flows through `geo.ts`. |
### `@araharah/web`
| Abstraction | File | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Fix` | `web/src/location/types.ts` | The single normalized position shape every source reduces to: `lat`, `lng`, `accuracyM`, `headingDeg`, `ts`, `source`. Freshness lives in the fix. |
| `LocationState` | `web/src/location/types.ts` | Discriminated union: `idle` / `validating` / `acquiring` / `awaiting-pin` / `live` / `stale` / `denied`. |
| `acquireFix(deps, lastAccepted)` | `web/src/location/chain.ts` | The three-link state machine. Pluggable cadence — no `setInterval`, no `watchPosition`. |
| `isFixStale(fix, nowMs)` / `fixAgeSeconds` | `web/src/location/chain.ts` | The 45 s signal-lost threshold and the `FIX Ns AGO` telemetry helper. |
| `readDestinationId` / `resolveDestination` / `setDestination` | `web/src/search/resolve-destination.ts` | The two-carrier deep-link resolver (`?dest=` URL, then signed initData's `start_param`), one shared slug validation, memory-only result, honest-null on miss. |
| `buildDestinationCard` / `buildDestinationUnavailableCard` | `web/src/search/destination-card.ts` | The search surface's Rams cards (destination confirmed / honest unavailable). |
| `createRouteController` | `web/src/route/route.ts` | The consult/select/walk-back state machine and the guidance pump: auto-consults once per boot, draws the selected line (`setData` on the `route` source), starts the guidance watch, delegates every guidance decision. Touches no DOM/map directly — everything injected. |
| `installRouteLayers(m)` | `web/src/route/route-layers.ts` | Installs the `route` / `route-alt` map sources inside map.ts's ONE load handler; a drawn route is static furniture (only selection changes it). |
| `createGuidanceSession` / `stepGuidance` | `web/src/guidance/guidance.ts` | The pure reroute state machine: `idle → on_route → off_route → resuming/rerouting`, accuracy-aware threshold (`max(35, 2×accuracy)` capped 100), 3-fix + 8 s grace, 20 s storm guard. A pure reducer — replay-verifiable in Node. |
| `createGuidanceWatch(geo, onFix)` | `web/src/guidance/watch.ts` | The gated position stream: `watchPosition` high-accuracy, throttled to ≥ 10 m moved or ≥ 5 s elapsed. Fixes are consumed in the caller's frame — never stored, logged, or transmitted. |
| `TelegramWebAppLike` | `web/src/telegram/webapp.ts` | Hand-rolled ~20-member contract for `window.Telegram.WebApp`. `getWebApp()` may honestly return `null` off-Telegram. |
| `createSession(initData)` | `web/src/session/client.ts` | POSTs the verbatim initData string; returns `{ ok: true, token }` or a `malformed`/`tampered`/`stale`/`network` reason. |
| `setSession` / `getSession` / `isSessionStale` / `clearSession` | `web/src/session/store.ts` | Module-scope token holder. No persistence call anywhere in the file. |
| `bootMap(container)` | `web/src/map/map.ts` | MapLibre v6 bootstrap with the build-time-inlined Rams style. Returns `null` on `GPUInitializationError`. |
| `createPositionMarker()` | `web/src/map/marker.ts` | SVG accuracy circle + 20 px dot + heading cone. Cone hidden entirely when heading is `null`. |
| `createFollowController(map, onModeChange)` | `web/src/map/follow.ts` | following/free camera. Only a user gesture (`movestart` with `originalEvent`) flips to free. |
| `createStatusStrip(host)` | `web/src/ui/strip.ts` | The status band — state lamp + state word on the left, telemetry on the right. |
| `buildBootCard` / `buildDeniedCard` / `buildSignalLostCard` | `web/src/ui/cards.ts` | Rams card surfaces composed from theme component classes; zero inline copy. |
| `createRecenterControl(host, locale, onRecenter)` | `web/src/ui/recenter.ts` | 40×40 follow plate with three instant notch states. |
| `watchTheme(wa)` / `resolveBranch` | `web/src/telegram/theme.ts` | The theme-slot machine: Telegram light/dark (or `header_bg_color` luminance fallback) selects between two Rams token pairs — `applyTheme`'s ONLY statement is the `data-tg-theme` attribute set; MapLibre is deliberately absent (the map style is never re-set). Pinned by `web/test/theme.test.mjs`. |
| `resolveSafeInsets` / `applySafeArea` | `web/src/telegram/safe-area.ts` | Union of CSS `env()` and `WebApp.safeAreaInset`, max per edge, emitted as CSS custom properties. |
| `wireBackButton(wa, hasOverlay)` | `web/src/telegram/backbutton.ts` | Total function — the context-aware resolver (guidance → confirm; confirm → CONTINUE; ended → search-root walk; route → Phase 5 walk; root → close) and the wire's per-state `sync()`. |
| `wireHomeScreen(wa, locale)` | `web/src/telegram/homescreen.ts` | The ONBD-03 home-screen affordance behind the Bot API 8.0 capability guard — Telegram-native methods only. |
| `installMockWebApp(options)` | `web/src/mock/telegram-mock.ts` | Harness-only fake `window.Telegram.WebApp` with a dev-signed initData. Excluded from `web/dist`. |
| `localeFromInitData(raw)` | `web/src/i18n/strings.ts` | Parses the locale out of the raw initData string — the session response carries only `{ token }`. |
### `@araharah/theme`
| Abstraction | File | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@theme static` block | `theme/src/tokens.css` | 55 `--color-*` tokens plus spacing and typography. `static` forces every token into the compiled CSS so the package is consumable as plain custom properties. |
| `theme/src/theme.css` | `theme/src/theme.css` | Entry stylesheet — `@import`s tailwindcss, tokens, components; declares seven self-hosted `@font-face` rules; defines the `--shell-bg` / `--shell-on-surface` theme slots (the two Rams token pairs the slot switch flips). |
| Component classes | `theme/src/components.css` | `.card`, `.btn-primary`, `.btn-secondary`, `.chip-*`, `.maneuver-*`, `.text-*`, `.toggle*`, `.input-field`, `.checkbox`. |
| `build.mjs` | `theme/basemap/build.mjs` | Forks OpenFreeMap `liberty`, deriving every cartographic color from `tokens.css` via `desaturate(tokenHex, satMultiplier, lightnessPerRole)` with saturation clamped to `[0.06, 0.12]`. |
| `liberty-rams.json` | `theme/basemap/liberty-rams.json` | The generated style. Accent guard fails the build if `#EB8008` / `#ED3F1C` / `#736B1E` leak into any layer. `building-3d` is removed (faux 3D). |

```
Rationale for the boundaries:
- **`bot/src/webhook.ts` owns routing; nothing else dispatches.** The Worker is the only
place that decides which path runs, so `run_worker_first`, the secret-token gate,
the body caps, and the cron tick all apply uniformly.
- **`bot/src/security/`, `bot/src/kv/`, and the two data-plane packages are
dependency-light on purpose.** `initdata.ts` imports nothing from grammY and runs in
both Workers and bare Node; `kv/*.ts` take a structural `KvLike` so the suites pass
fakes; `@araharah/search` and `@araharah/routing` are V8-native with zero runtime
dependencies, no env reads, and no network — the same sources run inside the Worker
bundle, the Vite bundle, and the Node corpus runners.
- **The backend ladders are constructed in code, not configured.** Search and routing
each expose a seam (`SearchSource`, `RoutingSource`) whose backend selection happens
at the import site — no env read, no config read, no dynamic registry. Swapping a
backend is an import-site change.
- **`bot/src/i18n/strings.ts` is the single copy source.** The commands register
script derives its menu text from the same `helpMenu` lines, and `bot/test/commands.test.mjs`
gates that the `/privacy` copy still names the four never-stored facts (location, routes,
trip history, profile) and keeps the ~15-minute TTL wording, in both locales.
- **`web/src/location/` separates sources from the chain.** Each source is a small module
that normalizes to `Fix` and answers `null` for denial; `chain.ts` owns ordering and
knows nothing about any single source's API.
- **`web/src/route/` + `web/src/guidance/` split wiring from decisions.**
`route.ts` only wires (consult once, draw, start the pump); `guidance.ts` is the pure
state machine that decides every guidance behavior; `watch.ts` owns the throttle; the
view modules (banner, eta, camera, haptics) each own one concern. Node-testable with
injected DOM/map/geo.
- **`web/src/session/` splits network from state.** `client.ts` owns fetch and error
vocabulary; `store.ts` owns the in-memory token and the 900 s staleness rule. Neither
ever touches storage.
- **`web/src/telegram/` is the only place that touches `Telegram.WebApp`.** Every other
module takes the narrow `TelegramWebAppLike` interface, which is what lets the mock,
the test fakes, and real clients satisfy the same contract.
- **`theme/` is pure build-time.** It exports no runtime code — a CSS bundle and a JSON
style. That is why `web` can depend on it without pulling a bundler into the token
package.
- **`scripts/` is the audit layer, not product code.** `privacy-audit.mjs` and
`budget-audit.mjs` are maintainer-time gates that import from `scripts/lib/`; nothing
in `bot/src`, `web/src`, `routing/src`, or `search/src` imports them.
- **`routing/data/` is a build artifact by law.** The 15 MB graph binary is gitignored;
forks build and upload their own (`docs/ROAD-GRAPH.md` is the fork contract).
- **`stitch_minimalist_route_navigator/` is `@source`-scanned, never edited.** The theme
compiles every class the four mockups use so the design vocabulary stays provable
against the shipped CSS.
## Cross-Cutting Concerns
### Privacy by construction — the gate lineage
Two layers of gates pin this rather than documenting it:
**The consolidated maintainer audit** — `npm run privacy-audit`
(`scripts/privacy-audit.mjs`), five static gates in `scripts/lib/source-gates.mjs` and
`scripts/lib/bundle-gates.mjs`, plus `--live` probes in
`scripts/lib/cloudflare-probes.mjs`:
| Gate id | Rule |
| --- | --- |
| `storage-api` | The memory-only law, repo-wide (the no-storage suite generalized). |
| `kv-ttl` | The PG1 same-line TTL law, repo-wide — every `.put(` line in `bot/src` carries `expirationTtl` as a named constant. |
| `log-vocabulary` | The D-14 category-only log law — no coordinate, payload, user id, or timestamp in any log line. |
| `runtime-hosts` | The POSITIVE fetch-host allowlist — no fetch to any host outside it. |
| `bundle-telemetry` | The PRODUCTION `web/dist` scan — no analytics, no beacon, no telemetry in the shipped artifact. |
| `kv-expiry` / `asset-headers` (with `--live`) | Live expiry metadata and cache-header verification — a skipped probe is never mistaken for a pass (exit 2 = NOT RUN). |
Exit codes: `0` clean, `1` violations, `2` NOT RUN (environment drift) — no silent
passes. The audit doubles as the fork onboarding check. `docs/PRIVACY-AUDIT.md` is the
human record.
**The in-suite gates** (the same laws asserted where the code lives):
- `bot/test/privacy.test.mjs` — the PG1/PG2 lineage: every `put` on `chat_sessions`
(now spanning `sessions.ts`, `location-pin.ts`, `guidance-sessions.ts`, and
`webhook.ts`) must carry an explicit `expirationTtl` on the same call line, as a
named `SCREAMING_SNAKE` constant. No write path can persist without a TTL.
- `web/test/no-storage.test.mjs` — comments stripped, every `web/src` file scanned; zero
occurrences of `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, `indexedDB`, `caches`,
`document.cookie`, `WebApp.DeviceStorage`, `WebApp.SecureStorage`, `WebApp.CloudStorage`,
or any service-worker registration.
- `bot/test/route-privacy.test.mjs` — the route handler's structural proof: the only
persisted surface is the guidance envelope; the route request's origin never touches
storage or a log line.
The persisted surface is exactly `SessionClaim` (user_id, chat_id, issued_at,
language_code) for 900 s, `LocationPin` (latitude, longitude, horizontal_accuracy)
for 300 s, and the `GuidanceSessionEnvelope` for 7200 s — all in ONE KV namespace.
On the web side, guidance on-route fixes never leave the device; the ONLY
network-bound position is a reroute's origin (one point, on a real excursion, snapped
server-side). The client holds the token, the destination, and the last fix in module
scope only.
### TTL-only storage law
Every KV write carries an explicit TTL; nothing survives past it:
| Key family | TTL | Constant |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `session:` / `chat:` | 900 s (~15 min) | `SESSION_TTL_SECONDS` |
| `loc:` | 300 s | `PIN_TTL_SECONDS` |
| `guidance:` | 7200 s (~2 h) | `GUIDANCE_SESSION_TTL_SECONDS` |
The R2 bucket (`ROAD_GRAPH`) is a read-only binary host, not a persistence surface.
Exactly ONE `kv_namespaces` entry is the law (`GE5`) — a new KV family is a design
change, not a refactor.
### Access control
Every chat-scoped route (`/api/location`, `/api/location-fallback`, `/api/guidance`)
resolves the `chat_id` from the Bearer session claim, never from client input; locale
comes from `claim.language_code`. The location-fallback request body is never read; a
guidance POST's `chat_id` field is structurally dropped (`validateSnapshot` builds the
new object field-by-field); GET/DELETE compare `envelope.chat_id === claim.chat_id` so
foreign and absent are indistinguishable 404s (no existence oracle for cross-chat
probing). `/api/route` uses the claim purely as an identity gate — routing itself is
chat-agnostic and nothing about the caller is stored, logged, or echoed.
### Honest degradation
Every degradation is a labeled state, never a silent one or a fabricated value:
`bootMap()` returning `null` renders the shell over `--color-surface-dim` with
`data-map="absent"`; a null heading hides the marker cone rather than guessing an
orientation; `getPin` range-validates so a corrupt record cannot fly the camera to null
island; the poll is bounded at 60 s so `AWAITING PIN` cannot persist; every source
timeout resolves `null` so the chain always advances; **the route null contract** —
every `/api/route` miss class answers `200 null` and the client renders the pending
card; a null road graph degrades the cron card to the bare-verb street-less
composition — the send still fires; guidance deviation becomes a labeled off-route
state with a storm-guarded reroute, never a silent camera jump.
### Category-only logging
The Worker's only log statements are categories — `[webhook] rejected: misconfigured`,
`[initdata] rejected: malformed|tampered|stale`, `[location]`/`[location-fallback]`/
`[guidance]`/`[route] rejected: unauthorized|malformed`,
`[guidance-cron] skipped: unconfigured|malformed`, `[guidance-cron] send failed`,
`[location-fallback] failed: telegram-send`. Never raw payloads, never user ids,
never chat ids, never coordinates, never timestamps. Rejection responses carry the
category only. The web app's console lines are state tokens (`ARAHARAH-ROUTE`,
`ARAHARAH-GUIDE`, `RAMS-BASEMAP-READY`, `ARAHARAH-LIVE`) — never coordinates. The
audits (`log-vocabulary` gate) prove this mechanically.
### The budget law
`npm run budget-audit` (`scripts/budget-audit.mjs`) measures the free-tier posture
instead of assuming it: route CPU (the A\* ladder, child-process), bundle size, KV
write classes (the cron's ZERO-writes law), subrequest classes, and the golden
corpora; `--live` adds observed cache headers. The record is `docs/BUDGETS.md`. The
cron's cadence is tuned to it: `*/2 * * * *` × one KV list-op per tick = 720
list-ops/day, inside the free plan's 1,000/day KV-list ceiling, and each tick performs
zero KV writes (stateless projection over the 7200 s envelopes).
### Testing
Five workspaces, one test idiom: `bot/test`, `web/test`, `search/test`, and
`routing/test` each use the same hand-rolled zero-dependency runner (`runner.mjs` +
`harness.mjs`), auto-discovering `*.test.mjs`; `theme` runs `scripts/audit.test.mjs`
in the same shape, and `scripts/test/` holds the audit tools' own suites. Gates are
grep/introspection assertions against source and build artifacts, not just behavioral
assertions. The corpus suites (`search/test/corpus.test.mjs`,
`routing/test/corpus.test.mjs`) assert the same measurements the standalone corpus
runners print — measured quality and shipped quality cannot drift.
## What Is Not Built Yet
The following are documented targets, **not** in the codebase: **engine B** (the fully
client-side webview router — graph on the phone; engine A's documented post-v1
evolution; the Valhalla-to-JS port was ruled infeasible and geojson-path-finder was
rejected — recorded so neither is re-proposed), Valhalla-on-VPS (the documented
provision path, not shipped), Neon/Postgres, RabbitMQ, Prometheus/Grafana, Resend,
opt-in telemetry (v1 carries zero telemetry — there is nothing to opt into yet), and
the Maptiler tile provider (the basemap today is the OpenFreeMap `liberty` fork).
Alternatives generation on `/api/route` is prohibited by design, not deferred.
Search backend #1 (gazetteer) and routing backends #1/#2 are the only ladder rungs
implemented; later rungs slot in at the import site without a client rewrite.
