maaz519 5abee1b5b7 docs: add repo-local project memory under .claude/memory/
Versioned, per-topic project memory (index + entries): IIOS overview, the generic-safety
rule, run/test + the replay.spec flake workaround, recent features (Supabase auth,
reactions/pins/saves, mentions, media, notifications), the chat-web consumer, and workflow
conventions. CLAUDE.md points to it as the accumulating-notes companion to the canonical rules.

description: THE #1 locked rule — the kernel must never hardcode chat/domain vocabulary
metadata:
type: feedback

**The kernel must stay generic.** No `'dm'` / `'group'` / `'reaction'` / `'emoji'` / `'mention'`
literals in kernel or messaging *logic*. If a reviewer asked "is this a chat backend now?" the
answer must stay **no**.
**Why:** IIOS is a generic interaction OS; chat is one consumer. Baking chat meaning into the
kernel destroys reuse (support/community/meetings share the same core).
**How to apply:** domain meaning lives in exactly three places, never the kernel —
1. **OPA policy** (`DevOpaPort` → real OPA): DM-cap, group-admin, governed-join, media limits,
notification triggers.
2. **Opaque attributes** the kernel stores but never interprets: `thread.metadata.membership`
(`dm`/`group`), interaction annotations (opaque `annotationType`+`value` → app writes
`reaction`/`pin`/`save`), `mentions[]` (opaque userId notify-list; kernel never parses `@`).
3. **The app** (chat-web): rendering + product semantics.
Reading an opaque attr inside a **policy/notification gate** (`membership === 'dm'` in
`DevOpaPort` or `notification.projector.ts`) is OK — that file IS the policy plane. Everywhere
else, keep generic. Verify before committing:
`grep -rniE "'dm'|'group'|reaction|emoji" packages/iios-service/src | grep -v spec` — hits only
in policy/notification/app-facing layers or comments. Also run `pnpm boundary`.
