# Domain Registry

The Domain Registry maps AeThex public hostnames to the products, programs, and infrastructure that own them. It is the authoritative documentation index for domain purpose; DNS availability alone does not prove that a product is complete or supported.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Documentation status | Active |
| Maintainer | AeThex documentation maintainers |
| Canonical documentation | [docs.aethex.support](https://docs.aethex.support) |
| Public release directory | [aethex.us/releases](https://aethex.us/releases) |
| Last verified | 2026-07-29 |

## Classification

Every hostname is assigned one of these types:

| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Product | A public AeThex product or application |
| Program | A Corporation, Foundation, or Labs program |
| Community | A community- or customer-owned property |
| Documentation | Public operating manuals and reference material |
| Infrastructure | API, authentication, source, automation, hosting, or storage |
| Status | Availability and incident reporting |
| Alias | Redirect or alternate hostname with no independent content |
| Legacy | Retained temporarily for migration or link compatibility |

## Canonical documentation and release hosts

| Hostname | Type | Purpose | Canonical relationship |
|---|---|---|---|
| `aethex.us` | Program | Public AeThex ecosystem surface | Owns the cross-Trinity release directory |
| `aethex.us/releases` | Program | Curated releases across Corporation, Foundation, and Labs | Canonical public release index |
| `docs.aethex.support` | Documentation | AeThex operating manuals and technical reference | Canonical documentation host |
| `docs.aethex.tech` | Legacy | Previous GitBook documentation host | Planned path-preserving redirect to `docs.aethex.support` |
| `status.aethex.tech` | Status | Current service availability and incidents | Does not publish product releases |
| `git.aethex.tech` | Infrastructure | Source repositories and collaboration | Engineering history, not public release notes |

## Initial product mappings

These mappings establish the release system without claiming that every reachable hostname is a separate product.

| Primary hostname | Product or property | Type | Release surface |
|---|---|---|---|
| `aethex.bot` | AeThex Bot | Product | `aethex.bot/changelog` |
| `aethex.bot/warden` | Warden | Product | Filtered through `aethex.us/releases` until a dedicated route is published |
| `rra.aethex.bot` | RRA | Community | Community-specific deployment history |
| `oakdale.aethex.tech` | Oakdale | Product/property | Product-specific deployment history |
| `aethex.support` | AeThex Support | Product | Support-specific release history |
| `docs.aethex.support` | AeThex Documentation | Documentation | Documentation changelog |

## Registry rules

- A hostname is not promoted to a product merely because it resolves or returns HTTP 200.
- Product pages identify a primary owner, maturity, repository, canonical documentation, and release history.
- API, CDN, authentication, status, source-control, secrets, and automation hosts remain infrastructure unless they have an independently supported public product.
- Community and customer changes do not enter the AeThex platform changelog unless the shared AeThex product changed.
- Aliases redirect to the canonical hostname and do not maintain separate documentation.
- Legacy hosts retain path-compatible redirects for durable external links.
- New or changed mappings require an entry in the documentation changelog.
