 1// Package wiki is a Wikipedia-shaped wiki engine for gno.land: namespaced
 2// titles, an append-only revision chain, wikilinks with backlinks, categories,
 3// redirects, protection levels, line diffs, and markdown rendering.
 4//
 5// It is pure: no realm globals, no chain imports. Every call takes the context
 6// it needs (author address, wall clock, block height) from the caller, so the
 7// whole engine is unit-testable off-chain. The live demo realm is
 8// gno.land/r/nym-moultest123/x/wiki/v0.
 9//
10// # Storage model
11//
12// A realm write locks a storage deposit proportional to the bytes it adds
13// (100ugnot per byte since gnolang/gno#6171), so a wiki that kept every
14// revision in full would charge its editors for the whole history forever.
15// This engine instead stores a content-addressed spine plus a bounded body
16// window:
17//
18//   - Every revision keeps its metadata permanently: id, parent, author,
19//     time, height, summary, byte size, and the SHA-256 of the body. That is
20//     roughly 200 bytes, independent of article size.
21//   - Only the newest Retention revisions of a page keep their body. Older
22//     bodies are evicted (set to ""), which releases their deposit.
23//
24// An evicted body is not lost: its bytes were an argument of the transaction
25// that wrote it, so they remain in the chain's transaction history, and the
26// retained hash proves which bytes were the real ones. The realm stops paying
27// rent for deep history; the archive lives where archives belong.
28//
29// # Untrusted markdown
30//
31// Article bodies are attacker-controlled markdown. Render passes every body
32// through gno.land/p/nt/markdown/sanitize/v0 before any wikilink rewriting,
33// never after: sanitize escapes "[" to "\\[", so a rewriter that ran first
34// would hand its own generated links to the escaper. See links.gno.
