# Districthive Research Labs · open data platform (v0)

Dark, drag-and-drop PHP/MySQL dashboard publishing every research stream of
The Skerðingsstaðir Experiment, with placeholder data until each live feed lands.

DEPLOY
1. Upload this folder to the web root (PHP 8+, MySQL 8+, mail() available).
2. Create a MySQL database; copy config.sample.php → config.php; fill DB, admin
   hash, alert email, company lines (Estonian parent details are marked TO FILL).
3. Visit /install.php once (creates schema, seeds placeholder data, locks itself).
4. Add the two cron lines from cron/README.md.
5. Optional: drop your logo at assets/logo.svg (wordmark shows until then).

HOW PLACEHOLDER→LIVE WORKS
Every stream starts mode=placeholder and every page shows an amber PLACEHOLDER
DATA tag. When a vendor client in cron/clients/ has credentials and lands its
first real reading, the stream flips to live automatically, placeholder rows stop
being served, and the tag turns green LIVE DATA. Manual override in /admin.

WHAT'S WHERE
Pages per data point (weather, lagoon, aquifer, dark sky, birds incl. the
impact-vs-control BACI panel, marine, footfall, resources, cameras, wellbeing
aggregate, heritage, construction, control site) · Correlate exploratory
workbench with lag + CSV export · Health with freshness/completeness/risk and
cron email alerts · Faults & gaps public log · Raw vault with SHA-256 chain ·
Activity log · Instruments (every stream accounted for, product named) · keyed
read-only API (/api.php; keys issued in /admin) · About with licence & citation.

SECURITY
config.php denied by .htaccess; /data denied; admin behind hashed password +
session; API keyed (sha256-hashed at rest, shown once); no person-level data in
the database by construction; hidden/keyed visibility per stream in /admin.
