ced4568andClaude Sonnet 5 42dfb1c31b docs(phase2a): document gateway and student launch architecture
- docs/PHASE2A_GATEWAY_AND_STUDENT_FLOW.md — the full Phase 2A record: node-pty
  root cause and fix, Gateway architecture, student flow (entry through
  reset/recreate), API routes added, HTTP/WebSocket routing design (and why
  the lab-session cookie exists), security model (what's checked, and the
  explicit statement that this is pilot identity, not production auth),
  reset/recreate and reaper-recovery semantics, and known limitations found
  during implementation (the identity instance's k3s resource cost and its
  network_mode: bridge requirement, the Gateway's in-memory cache scope, the
  ?sid= check's coverage). BUILT NOW vs. FUTURE (Phase 2B) called out
  explicitly per the governing requirement.
- docs/LAB_ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/ENGINEERING_SOP.md — status updated to
  reflect Phase 2A is implemented and tested, not just Phase 1; roadmap item 5
  updated accordingly; ENGINEERING_SOP's Provisioner section corrected (it's
  no longer un-fronted — the Gateway is the only caller now).
- README.md — Multi-Student Deployment section updated to describe the
  Gateway and student flow, not just the Provisioner; clarifies the
  node-pty fix is the only change to the Lab image itself.

ced4568andClaude Sonnet 5 a15897c78f docs(platform): document ephemeral lab architecture
- docs/LAB_ARCHITECTURE.md — the full ephemeral-per-student design: two-VM
  production topology (Platform VM / Lab Host VM, correction A), lifecycle,
  data model, networking/egress model (correction B), resource model,
  routing/auth model, security boundaries, failure/recovery behavior,
  migration path from the current single container, and the lab-host
  abstraction (correction D). Status updated to reflect Phase 1 is now
  implemented, pointing at the two docs below for specifics.

- docs/PHASE1_PLATFORM_FOUNDATION.md — the Phase 1 build plan: exact Postgres
  schema, service boundaries, API routes, lifecycle state machine, Docker/
  firewall commands, security assumptions, file layout, and a 12-test plan.
  Updated with "Implementation notes" at the points where testing surfaced
  real deviations from the original design: the per-network (not static)
  egress-proxy address resolution, the COALESCE reaper fix, and the
  provisioning-failure cleanup fix.

- docs/ENGINEERING_SOP.md — new §8 mapping the platform/provisioner/ and
  platform/egress-proxy/ components, what's built vs. not (no Gateway, no
  frontend wiring — internal API only), and where identity still lives
  (unchanged: Lab image's own SQLite). Roadmap item 5 (per-student isolation)
  updated from "not started" to "Phase 1 done, not yet cleared for minors."

- README.md — Multi-Student Deployment section rewritten: the old per-student-
  volume persistence model is superseded by the Platform's registry (progress
  already lives outside the disposable container as of the prior curriculum/
  roster work); points at docs/LAB_ARCHITECTURE.md and platform/provisioner/
  for the real architecture instead of describing three delivery modes that
  were never actually built out.
