Add docs/inspirations.md as the durable record of the 2026-07-05/06
prior-art research — per-project learnings with source paths, canonical
credit lines, and the changes each spawned — and extend the
acknowledgment lists in philosophy.md/architecture.md (Organic Maps,
Endurain, wanderer).
New OpenSpec changes (proposal/design/specs/tasks each):
- Organic Maps: elevation-profile-hardening, gpx-parser-robustness,
hiking-time-estimate, poi-index, hiking-foot-profile
- Endurain: account-export, activity-duplicate-review,
fit-parsing-hardening, activity-locations, self-hosting-guide,
activity-privacy-controls
- wanderer: federation-hardening, link-share-tokens
- credits-page (user-visible acknowledgments)
Updated in-flight changes with wanderer prior-art sections:
route-federation, route-discovery.

Prompted by Hollo's split-domain setup. Two parts:
- docs/ideas/split-domain-handles.md: offering split handle/server
domains to self-hosters is config-level work — Fedify's origin
option natively accepts { handleHost, webOrigin } — and handles are
permanent identity, so apex handles matter. Single-domain stays the
default (Decision #18); post-launch polish.
- Interop constraint pinned in social-federation task 6.1 and
route-federation's gating decision: the trails-to-trails NodeInfo
check must run against the actor IRI's host after WebFinger
resolution, never the handle's domain — split-domain remote
instances would otherwise be wrongly refused.

Gap analysis of docs/architecture.md against openspec/ and docs/ideas/
found the envisioned-but-uncaptured remainder. This commit captures it:
New OpenSpec change (validated):
- route-federation — the collaboration half of the federation vision:
routes as dereferenceable trails:Route objects, Create/Update
fan-out, Invite/Accept collaboration mirroring (arch decision #2),
cross-instance Planner edits via HTTP-Signature-requested scoped
tokens (decisions #3/#12), mirror sync healing (#16). Depends on
social-federation §6 + route-sharing; carries the 2026-06-07 soak
lessons as design constraints.
New docs/ideas/ explorations:
- instance-administration — registration toggle, suspend/ban,
federation blocklists, reports (moderation now gates the federated
comments idea)
- social-interactions — local likes + comments (don't exist even
locally; the foundation federated kudos/comments attach to)
- activity-participants — group tagging with confirm/decline +
federated mentions (the participants jsonb column is an untyped stub)
- multi-day-collections — architecture open question #1, directions
evaluated
architecture.md cleanup:
- Mastodon-compat section annotated with shipped/captured state + the
live-soak interop lessons (attachment arrays, tombstones, 10s
timeout, no backfill)
- api.trails.cool removed (contradicted resolved decision #18)
- Phase 1 ticked (shipped); Phase 2/3 items annotated with where each
is tracked; specs/ → openspec/, activity.* → journal.*, cx21 → cx23
- brouter-web open question marked resolved-in-practice; new section
pointing to where the unshipped vision is tracked
