Renames the project and makes it as easy to adopt as BitLogin, which was the stated bar and which it did not previously meet. Rename (ADR 0005): @nostr-governance/* -> @bitgate/*, governance-* elements -> bitgate-*, createGovernanceRuntime -> createBitGate. "Governance" reads as DAO voting to this audience and named a category rather than a product; BitGate names the benefit and joins the bit- family that BitVid and BitRoad compose with. Domain types keep their names — the product is BitGate, the subject matter is still governance. The migration plan is left as written; this ADR records the change rather than rewriting history. Drop-in distribution (ADR 0006): adopting BitGate meant supplying a transport, authoring a policy, and wiring every element in JavaScript. Now: - createRelayTransport(urls) — WebSocket transport with reconnection, backoff, subscription replay, and cross-relay dedupe - policy presets (social, commerce, admin-only) addressable by name; the engine still carries no thresholds of its own - <bitgate-provider> — configuration in markup, with descendants finding the runtime through a bubbling context event rather than DOM walking, which breaks across shadow boundaries - npm run build:widget — a self-contained dist/bitgate.js That last one came from running it in a browser rather than from a test. Bare specifiers resolve in Node and vitest but not in a browser, so the widget source worked everywhere except a plain static page — the one place it exists to serve. The bundle is not committed: consumers build from reviewed source. Also found by running it: the provider's ready event fires during element upgrade, before a page that defines elements after parsing can attach a listener, so it now exposes `ready` as a promise too. Four bugs fixed along the way, three found by new tests and one by the browser: admin state stayed silent when a roster change altered capabilities but no denials; the relay transport sent every subscription twice on connect; the commerce preset computed a meaningless visibility verdict at checkout and could hide a listing from its own seller; <bitgate-status> threw on an unusable decision. 759 tests; lint, typecheck, and both builds clean.

# License and Provenance
|
|
|
|
## Reality check
|
|
|
|
BitVid is GPL-3.0-or-later. Direct ports of BitVid logic or structure into this
|
|
repository create a derivative-work obligation. Do not pretend extracted
|
|
behavior is clean-room MIT unless it truly is independent work.
|
|
|
|
BitRoad is MIT and is used here only as a target/model reference.
|
|
|
|
## Working stance for this repo
|
|
|
|
Until a lawyer-ready SPDX audit is done, treat the repository as:
|
|
|
|
1. **Tooling / scaffolding** — original workspace layout, CI, docs structure.
|
|
2. **Likely GPL-encumbered governance behavior** — anything characterized from
|
|
BitVid moderation thresholds, trust seeds, admin lists, report dedupe, mute
|
|
expiry, and related evaluator precedence.
|
|
3. **MIT-compatible address concepts** — BitRoad coordinate shapes, used as
|
|
consumer validation cases rather than copied UI/runtime code.
|
|
|
|
## Package boundary intention
|
|
|
|
| Package | Intention |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `@bitgate/core` | Clean API surface + pure evaluator. Avoid BitVid names. |
|
|
| `@bitgate/nostr` | Codecs. Legacy BitVid codec is provenance-sensitive. |
|
|
| `@bitgate/runtime` | Transport/storage orchestration. |
|
|
| `@bitgate/bitvid-compat` | Explicit BitVid-facing adapter. Most provenance-exposed. |
|
|
| `@bitgate/testing` | Fakes and fixture loaders. |
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
- No direct imports from BitVid or BitRoad source trees.
|
|
- Fixtures copied into this repo must record the source commit in README or metadata.
|
|
- If a module is ported from BitVid rather than rewritten cleanly, document it in
|
|
the PR and keep SPDX compatible with GPL-3.0-or-later.
|
|
- Do not dual-license the whole monorepo casually. Prefer one root LICENSE once
|
|
chosen, and call out adapter exceptions only if they are scoped carefully.
|
|
|
|
## Open decision (checkpoint 0)
|
|
|
|
Root license has not been finalized in this bootstrap.
|
|
Recommended default for continued extraction work: **GPL-3.0-or-later**.
|
|
|
|
Decision needed from owner before publishing packages.
