wiki.ethora.com (legacy MediaWiki, unmaintained and partly spam-injected) is being retired. Its bot pages were the part worth keeping, so they land here rather than disappearing.

What this adds: a historical/ folder with five documents and the original architecture diagram.

File Covers
crypto-chat-bots.md The overall concept: bots as first-class chat participants that hold wallets, own assets and carry contract logic. Includes the architecture diagram and the full bot directory.
bots-framework.md Conventions and rules for third-party bot developers.
mint-bot.md Users creating their own tokens from media through a conversation.
hut-hut-bot.md A bot custodying shared assets on behalf of a room, with a paid reveal.
prisoner-dilemma-bot.md Smallest complete example of a stateful two-user game bot.

Why keep it. Stripped of the 2021 token framing, most of these are ordinary reusable conversational patterns that this repo has not rebuilt: welcome-and-route, conversation witnessing (directly relevant to current audit-trail work), and conversational intake with a completion reward. The mechanism worth carrying forward is the shape, a bot as a room participant with its own identity, permissions and state, not the token standards used to implement it.

Framing. Every file carries an "archived historical document" header pointing at packages/ for the current framework, so none of it reads as live API documentation. The folder README states plainly that it is an archive.

Provenance and full archive are held in the internal workspace at data/raw/wiki-ethora/.

wiki.ethora.com is being decommissioned (unmaintained MediaWiki, partly
compromised by injected spam, positioning from an earlier era of the product).
Its bot pages were the part worth keeping: several of the patterns have not
been rebuilt in this repo yet, and they are a useful starting point.

Adds historical/ with the concept page, framework notes and three worked bot
examples, plus the original architecture diagram. Every file is headed as an
archive that describes the early engine, so it cannot be mistaken for current
API documentation.

The README calls out what is still interesting once the 2021 token framing is
stripped: room-participant bots with their own identity and state, conversation
witnessing (relevant to current audit-trail work), and conversational intake.
