Ryth Azhur 6eca514777 Restore documentation layer — match current substrate
ROADMAP: done items moved out of "Next" (codegen rewrite, SSR bridge,
edge manifest, X-Mizan-Invalidate, return-type branching, affects_params,
kernel extraction, two-stage codegen, mizan-ts). Real "Next" in:
framework-adapter wrapper layer (MizanContext + useMizan + DjangoError
on top of the kernel) for React/Vue/Svelte; A1–A4 from ISSUES.md.

CLAUDE: 4-package layout replaced with the actual 7-package layered
architecture (backend protocol adapters + frontend kernel + framework
adapters + SSR worker). "STALE codegen" section rewritten to describe
what's emitted vs. the wrapper layer that isn't yet.

docs/ now tracked (6 files). AFI_ARCHITECTURE rewritten — replaced
the speculative `mizan-ast`/`mizan-csr`/`mizan-rpc`/`mizan-schema`
package names with the real layout, dropped KDL-schema language for
the actual schema-export format. The other 5 docs/ files were already
current and are tracked as-is.

ARCHITECTURE-REWORK.md deleted — same expert review is re-tracked in
the fresher ISSUES.md, two parallel trackers was sediment.

README.md deleted — drift was beyond surgical fixes (`mizan_clients.py`
convention, `<DjangoContext>` provider, removed `@compose` and
`context='local'`, wrong codegen output filenames, 3-package structure
vs. 7). Rewrite waits for the wrapper-layer codegen to land so
user-facing examples reflect reality.

PSR vs Edge Delivery

Two distinct layers that prior conversations have conflated. They are independent.

PSR — Preemptive Static Rendering

Protocol feature. Render HTML on mutation, not on request.

Mechanism: @client fires mutation → backend adapter triggers local render runtime → HTML stored locally.

Works on a $5 VPS with local Bun. No Edge required. PSR is part of the protocol; it's available to every Mizan deployment regardless of hosting.

Edge Delivery — Mizan Render (Paid Product)

Pre-rendered HTML cached globally on Cloudflare CDN.

Uses fetch() to a render Worker on a separate domain (render.mizan.cloud) instead of cache.put(), because Workers Cache API is per-datacenter only. fetch() across zones goes through the global CDN cache path with Tiered Cache.

This layer is the paid Mizan Render product.

Caching modes

  • Public content — preemptive (render on mutation)
  • User-scoped content — reactive only (purge on mutation, render on next request)

Invariant

PSR logic must not couple to Cloudflare-specific APIs. PSR must work without any cloud infrastructure. Edge delivery extends PSR; it does not replace it.
