MainsKeeper — Product & System Guide
How MainsKeeper watches UPS fleets and site connectivity across places like Broadwater, Home, Shop, and Duplex — for stakeholders and engineers, with Accepted, Proposed, and Open labelled clearly.
How to read status labels
Later correction sections in the app handoff take precedence over older text. This guide separates commitment from design exploration.
Accepted Frozen product behavior from the design contract.
Proposed Designed but not a production commitment (including wire schemas).
Open Explicitly unresolved — do not treat diagrams as decisions.
Recommendation Sensible option offered here; not a handoff commitment.
