Summary

Records the #112 approval decision now that #31's capacity baseline supports the proposed document/Collection shard direction:

  • Flips workspace-sharding.md's status header from Proposed to Approved.
  • Adds a new §10 "Approval decision" stating what's accepted (catalog/content-shard split, trusted routing, committed-catalog-write/SSE contract, migration design, deployment-ownership rules) versus explicitly deferred to Implement workspace catalog and shard-aware routing and persistence #113's real shard-aware measurements (partition threshold, event-retention window, snapshot cadence, saved-view catalog placement).
  • Propagates forward-pointers into architecture.md, data-model.md, persistence.md, collaboration.md, mcp-tools.md, and the specifications README.md so each notes where the approved shard design supersedes its current Phase-0 description, without rewriting Phase-0 behavior that isn't implemented yet.

Why

Issue #112's own checklist requires "Update the relevant architecture, data-model, persistence, collaboration, and MCP specifications with the approved decision" — the design itself was drafted and refined across #115/#117, but none of the dependent specs had been updated to reflect approval, and the status header still read Proposed pending #31 (now complete).

Verification

  • npx prettier --check on all changed files
  • npm run lint

Closes #112.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Approved the workspace-sharding architecture and migration specification.
    • Clarified sharding behavior for collaboration, data modeling, persistence, and permission scoping.
    • Documented trusted routing, catalog writes, durable operations, event ordering, and deployment coordination.
    • Confirmed operation-specific permission checks for documents, collections, records, searches, and moves.
    • Identified implementation measurements, partition thresholds, retention, snapshot cadence, and configuration details pending validation.

Records the #112 approval decision now that #31's capacity baseline
supports the proposed document/Collection shard direction: flips
workspace-sharding.md's status from Proposed to Approved, adds a §10
approval record stating what's accepted versus deferred to #113's
real shard-aware measurements, and propagates forward-pointers into
architecture.md, data-model.md, persistence.md, collaboration.md, and
mcp-tools.md so each notes where the approved shard design supersedes
its current Phase-0 description.

Closes #112.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR approves the workspace-sharding specification and updates related documentation for shard-aware data modeling, persistence, collaboration, and MCP routing. Implementation remains dependent on real shard-aware transport measurements.

Changes

Workspace sharding design

Layer / File(s) Summary
Approved shard architecture
docs/specifications/workspace-sharding.md, docs/specifications/README.md, docs/specifications/architecture.md
The catalog and content-shard design is approved. The decision defines routing, durable catalog operations, SSE ordering, migration, and deployment coordination.
Cross-specification shard model
docs/specifications/data-model.md, docs/specifications/persistence.md
The specifications distinguish Phase-0 whole-workspace storage from the approved future catalog and per-Document/Collection shard model.
Routing and collaboration rules
docs/specifications/collaboration.md, docs/specifications/mcp-tools.md
The specifications define shard-local Awareness coordination and trusted scope and target-shard resolution before holds or writes.

- Line 25: Replace the broad “every tool call” permission-scoping sentence with
operation-specific rules: authorize target IDs for get_document,
query_collection, and document mutations; authorize record parentId for record
operations; filter list and search results by allowed Document and Collection
IDs; and require move_document to validate both documentId and parentDocumentId.
Preserve the trusted-routing, denied-state, and audit requirements without
applying record-parent checks to target-resource or list operations.

Comment thread docs/specifications/mcp-tools.md Outdated
CodeRabbit flagged the blanket "every tool call checks its parentId"
claim as inaccurate: get_document/query_collection/document mutations
authorize the target ID itself, list/search filter results, and only
record operations check parentId. Replace with the accurate per-
operation breakdown.
