id: investigate: boards — a modern phpBB on ID identity: no registration, copyable themes #2052
Description
LIST 15a. Bring back phpBB3, modernised: everything needed to run boards where many people can create their own board, nobody registers (your Iroh ID is your identity), every board sets its own theme, and themes can be copied and shared. Posts carry pictures, audio, video. Investigate: board objects in the ID graph, moderation under the accept-all/trust-filter model, theme format + sharing, and federation between boards on different servers. Deliverable: board model sketch.
Program: Drew's 2026-10-28 directive (full text: hatch-personal memory/topics/id-program-2026-10-28.md).
Working pattern: parallel investigations, then the named synthesis issue merges them into a full design. Route guidance: Workhorse by default; Specialist/Summit for synthesis and ramification-heavy work. A result that says "done" is not the endpoint — the orchestrator reviews it and may commission another round. Deliverables: a markdown design/investigation doc (mermaid/SVG diagrams welcome) linked from this issue, plus follow-up issues for anything buildable. Build a proof of concept where the design calls for one, but do NOT build the permanent feature on top of an unreviewed PoC.
Acceptance criteria
- A board model sketch exists: board objects in the ID graph, registration-free identity via Iroh ID, per-board themes with copy/share
- Moderation under the accept-all/trust-filter model and federation between boards on different servers are addressed
- Findings feed the boards v1 synthesis (id: design: ID boards v1 #2054) by link

Intake review
LIST 15a investigation under epic #2056, feeding synthesis #2054. Filed by Drew 2026-10-28; not resolved by any merged PR. Suggested approach: bounded investigation write-up on this issue. Risk: theme format and moderation model are the two places a sketch can stay vague — the acceptance criteria name both.

Top priority — ID program wave-1. Drew directed this be picked up in the next runs (2026-10-29): enqueued directly as triage task 3357 in repo-health-code-pilot at queue priority 20 (only breakage-class work at priority 10 outranks it). Wave-1 is the ungated investigations and designs; syntheses and PoCs stay gated on their named inputs. Investigation route: Workhorse.

Queued: repo-health-code-pilot task 3925 (2026-10-30), wave-2 follow-on. The 2026-10-29 triage verified this issue and recorded 'write the investigation' as the next step; this task is that write — investigation doc PR under doc/, follow-up issues for buildable pieces, close with the doc link. Ordered by Drew ('queue unrun').

Investigation write — boards model (#2052)
Task 3357's 2026-10-29 sketch is now the wave-pattern doc at
doc/2026-10-30T19-35-00Z_investigation_boards_model/(PR #2810, merged), re-verified against current main: no forum-board code in the tree (the onlyboardmatches are tic-tac-toe fixtures),web/themes are terminal colour schemes unrelated to Theme objects, and the #2030 trust model is taken from its issue text (doc PR #2801 still open at write time). No change to the model.Follow-ups #2812/#2813 are candidates for #2054 to route, not implementation go-aheads — per the sketch's §9 + program rules, nothing is commissioned before the #2054 synthesis review round.
