gramps 2a9afe7d77 Add MariaDB IPL validation, topology docs in beds.toml, and developer wiki
- Add MariaDB (REL) IPL validation — master required, secondary non-fatal
- Add RelNodeConfig / RelInstanceConfig structs with master/secondary pattern
- Add rel_services section to beds.toml and test fixture
- Add detailed topology commentary to beds.toml covering standalone,
  master/replica, Galera cluster, and multi-DB-per-node configurations
- Add developer wiki (wiki/) covering:
    - Origin story — PHP Namaste history, production record, why Rust
    - Architecture overview — full system diagram, all layers explained
    - The four nodes — appServer, admin, segundo, tercero with real-world context
    - IPL sequence — every step documented with rationale for ordering
    - Configuration system — layering, env selection, adding new sections
    - Queue topology — exchanges, routing keys, broker bindings, vhost isolation
    - Template system — REC/REL, TLA convention, cache map, warehousing
    - Event lineage — compound event IDs, parent/child tracking, msLogs schema
    - Glossary
- Update README with wiki index and MariaDB status

Glossary

Term Definition
AMQP Advanced Message Queuing Protocol. The wire protocol used by RabbitMQ. BEDS uses AMQP 0-9-1 exclusively — no vendor-specific extensions.
appServer The primary BEDS node role. Handles all client-facing CRUD operations.
admin The administrative BEDS node role. Handles logging, auditing, metrics, and administrative events.
BEDS Back End Data System. The framework.
broker A Tokio async task that listens on one AMQP queue, processes one event type, and routes results back.
broker pool The collection of broker tasks running on a node. Pool size is configured per broker type in beds.toml.
CALGON Async ticket pattern. Client submits a request, receives a GUID immediately, polls for the result later. Used for long-running operations.
closed_class Template flag. When true, only internal BEDS services can instantiate the template. When false, external partners may also access it.
COOL storage Warehoused data. Maintains full schema and indexing. Queryable but not on the live production data path.
COLD storage Archived data. Reformatted (typically CSV). Not directly queryable by BEDS.
depth Event lineage field. Integer counting levels from the root event. Root events have depth=0.
event_id Compound event identifier: {wbid}.{env}.{guid}. Unique across the entire cluster.
factory The dispatch layer. Maps a template name to the correct database adapter at runtime.
HOT storage Live production data. The primary MongoDB and MariaDB instances.
IPL Initial Program Load. The BEDS bootstrap sequence. Term borrowed from IBM mainframe terminology.
is_local Config flag per service. Declares that this service runs on the current physical machine. Brokers are only started for local services.
journaling Recording a journal entry for every destructive operation on a collection. Distinct from database-level journaling.
NamasteCore The unified CRUD trait. Every database adapter and every template implements it. The application layer only calls NamasteCore methods.
Namaste The internal codename for the PHP implementation of BEDS. The Rust rewrite is named rustybeds.
parent_id Event lineage field. The event_id of the event that spawned this one. Empty string for root events.
REC Record. MongoDB document store. Template type for document collections.
REL Relational. MariaDB relational store. Template type for relational collections.
rpi Records Per Interval. Throttle applied to a broker's fetch rate. Prevents a single broker from overwhelming the database.
segundo The warehousing BEDS node role. Manages data lifecycle — moving records from HOT to COOL storage. Spanish for "second."
TLA Three-Letter Abbreviation. Appended to every field name in a collection to namespace fields and eliminate ambiguity in multi-collection queries.
template A TOML configuration file defining a data collection — schema, indexes, behavioural flags, access controls, lifecycle policy.
template_class Human-readable collection name declared in the template. Used in logging, admin UI, and the REST API catalog.
tercero The user and session management BEDS node role. Spanish for "third."
TLA Three-Letter Abbreviation — see above.
WARM storage Data being restored from COLD back to HOT. Transitional state.
wbid White-box identifier. 2-character corporate prefix prepended to every MongoDB collection name. Declared in [id] in beds.toml.
WORM Write Once Read Many. The append-only pattern used for log collections. Log records are immutable after insert.
