The `tools` definition — "one person installs and runs it for themselves" — stopped
describing the store engines: they are products other people can build on. So the
four store repositories left `tools` for a `stores` org of their own, and the org
map, the clone list, the wiki table and the ecosystem plan follow. `check-repos.sh`
is green at 49.
Worth writing down for the next org change: `tea` has no transfer subcommand, but
`tea api` makes authenticated calls with tea's own credentials, which is enough for
all of it — POST /orgs, POST /orgs/{org}/teams, PUT /teams/{id}/members/{user},
POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/transfer. And the transfer keeps Gitea's redirect: the
old `tools/...` raw URLs answer 301, so the installers on already-configured boxes
did not break. That is why this was a transfer and not a migrate-and-delete.
`warpstore` stayed in `engines`: it is a library other repos depend on, which is
what that org is for. The launcher gap moved out of the tools chapter of
ECOSYSTEM_PLAN into the new stores one, where it belongs.

devarea
Workspace management repo for TTG: use it to clone the whole workspace in
its category-folder structure, and to verify that the clone list is in sync
with the Gitea server (git.teletypegames.org).
Quick start
On a fresh machine:
mkdir TTG && cd TTG
git clone ssh://git@git.teletypegames.org:2222/tools/devarea
cd devarea
make setup # install tea + clone all repos + check
Repos are cloned into the parent directory of the devarea checkout (the
workspace root). To use a different target: make clone ROOT=/path/to/workspace.
Make targets
| Target | What it does |
|---|---|
make help |
List available targets (default) |
make tea |
Install tea (Gitea CLI) via Homebrew if missing, and verify the login |
make clone |
Clone all repos based on scripts/repos.list; existing ones are skipped |
make check |
Compare the clone list against the server (tea repo list --output json) |
make setup |
All three in one: tea + clone + check |
Scripts
All scripts live under scripts/ and can also be run standalone:
install-tea.sh— installs tea and verifies the login. Without a login it prints the setup command (tea login add --name ttg --url https://git.teletypegames.org).clone-repos.sh [target-dir]— clones every line ofrepos.listinto the given structure. Idempotent: existing clones are skipped.check-repos.sh— checks in both directions: repos that exist on the server but are missing from the list (MISSING), and repos listed as Gitea repos but absent from the server (STALE). Exits with 1 on any hit, so it is CI-friendly.
Data files
scripts/repos.list— the repos to clone, one per line in<workspace-relative path>|<clone URL>form. New repo on the server → add it here (make checkwill complain if it is missing). Non-Gitea repos (GitHub) may also appear; the check skips those.scripts/repos.ignore— repos that exist on the server but are intentionally not cloned (<owner>/<name>); the check does not report these as missing.

Estate documentation
These describe the estate as a whole, which is why they live here rather than in any single repo:
- WIKI_CONNECTION.md — which repo is documented by which wiki page, and which Gitea org each repo belongs to.
- REPO_REFACT.md — the Gitea org structure: what each org is for and what it contains.
- ECOSYSTEM_PLAN.md — what we have per org towards a complete game development lifecycle, and what is still missing.
- MORE_STORES.md — which further host platforms could get a store like the Batocera one, measured against what the catalog actually ships.
The ttg-ops plugin in ttg-marketplace reads these rather than carrying its
own copy of the rules.
