This private-Gitea repository is the GPLv3 implementation boundary for the separately deployed VerseVDI data plane. Phase 3C will add the pure-Go gateway and Apollo adapter here; later phases add the Rust streaming core and native clients. The proprietary Connection Server remains a separate process and repository.

Current status

The repository is prepared for Phase 3C-A preflight and Apollo feasibility. It does not yet contain a production gateway or a qualified Apollo path. A failed feasibility decision blocks Phase 3C-B; it does not authorize direct client-to-Apollo routing, cgo, a native sidecar, or decode/transcode behavior.

The existing Xcode project is retained for the later native-client phase. It is not Phase 3C gateway evidence and must not be used to move provider or Connection Server authority into a client.

Repository boundaries

gateway/ owns the separately deployed pure-Go gateway and provider adapters.
core/ and clients/ are reserved for later approved Rust/native-client work.
integration/, packaging/, and docs/ may be added only by their corresponding approved OpenSpec tasks.
The repository never owns PostgreSQL, commercial licensing, durable user or assignment authority, or general Connection Server administration.
The Verse client never receives or connects to an Apollo/provider endpoint.
The Protocol repository is the sole wire-contract authority; consumers pin an immutable release without a filesystem replace.

Verification

The baseline uses Go 1.26.5 and OpenSpec 1.5.0:

make verify

The command checks formatting, module integrity, compilation, vet, tests, and strict OpenSpec validation. Verification is change-driven: rerun affected checks after a change and the complete repository gate once after a candidate is frozen. Do not run time-based verification loops.

Licensing and publication

The repository currently uses the GNU GPL version 3 engineering baseline and is private in Gitea. Public distribution, final SPDX/legal review, release artifacts, and Corresponding Source promotion evidence require separate authorization. See LICENSE, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md.
