Owner

Summary

Records the decision, taken 2026-09-30, that sign-up, sign-in, sessions, wave login, and the owner on a channel record are Wave features rather than something a product built on Wave provides. Docs only, no code.

  • New resolved question 15.6 in docs/PRODUCT.md with the reasoning and what it settles: identity is built not bought, off by default on an instance that does not configure it, the API stays bearer-only, and organisations stay out of core.
  • Principles 1 and 4, the non-goals, the Creator role, the data model, and the retention line now describe optional sign-in instead of "no accounts".
  • Roadmap "Later" carries accounts; "Team workspaces with accounts" becomes "Team workspaces". docs/PLAN.md backlog and docs/IDEAS.md updated to match.
  • README step 1 reads "No account needed to start."

Test plan

  • Read 15.6 and confirm the reasoning matches the decision
  • Check the principle 1 and retention wording still reads as a promise a self-hoster can rely on

Sign-up, sign-in, sessions, wave login, and the owner on a channel record
are Wave features, decided 2026-09-30 and recorded as resolved question
15.6 with its reasoning. Principles 1 and 4, the non-goals, the Creator
role, the data model, the retention line, and the roadmap now describe
optional sign-in that is off on any instance that does not configure it.
Organisations and anything needing a durable store stay out of core.
