# degoog - Doramagic AI Context Pack

> Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated.

## Project

- canonical_name: `degoog-org/degoog`
- capability: Search engine aggregator with a comprehensive plugin/extension system
- expected_user_outcome: Search engine aggregator with a comprehensive plugin/extension system

## Operating Boundaries

- Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it.
- Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references.
- When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact.
- publish_status: `publishable`
- blocking_gaps: none

---

## Doramagic Context Augmentation

The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints.

## Human Manual Outline

Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph.

Host AI hard rules:
- Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence.
- When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal.
- Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph.

- **Project Overview & Deployment**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: README.md, docker-compose-examples/simple.yml, docker-compose-examples/valkey.yml, docker-compose-examples/postgres.yml, docker-compose-examples/full.yml
- **Extension System, Store & Transports**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/server/extensions/registry-factory.ts, src/server/extensions/plugin-manifest.ts, src/server/extensions/engines/registry.ts, src/server/extensions/themes/registry.ts, src/server/extensions/transports/registry.ts
- **Search Backend, Indexer & Data Flow**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/server/index.ts, src/server/search.ts, src/server/search/engine-selection.ts, src/server/search/url-normalize.ts, src/server/routes/search.ts
- **Frontend, Settings UI & Onboarding**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/client/app.ts, src/client/state.ts, src/client/constants.ts, src/client/modules/init.ts, src/client/modules/renderer/render.ts

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `d89504d322189081186faa4519a3b2ed358e36f0`
- inspected_files: `Dockerfile`, `README.md`, `docker-compose.yml`, `package.json`, `src/client/animations/lucky-animation.ts`, `src/client/animations/skeleton.ts`, `src/client/app.ts`, `src/client/constants.ts`, `src/client/modules/filters/image-filters.ts`, `src/client/modules/init.ts`, `src/client/modules/media/lightbox.ts`, `src/client/modules/media/media-preview.ts`, `src/client/modules/media/media.ts`, `src/client/modules/modals/confirm-modal/confirm.ts`, `src/client/modules/modals/docs-modal/docs.ts`, `src/client/modules/modals/prompt-modal/prompt.ts`, `src/client/modules/modals/settings-modal/list-field-data.ts`, `src/client/modules/modals/settings-modal/list-field.ts`, `src/client/modules/modals/settings-modal/modal-fields.ts`, `src/client/modules/modals/settings-modal/modal.ts`

Host AI hard rules:
- Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read.
- Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts.
- Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully.

## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints

These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes.

### Constraint 1: Installation risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a installation risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
- Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment.
- Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
- Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/degoog-org/degoog/issues/203
- Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it.

### Constraint 2: Installation risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a installation risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
- Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment.
