The setup extension --namespace flag shipped in core PR #1923. The manual pages still recommend the old namespace set + namespace migrate flow that caused 9 production bugs. Splits out the swamp-club half of #1355.

What needs updating

content/manual/how-to/giga-swamp/set-up-giga-swamp.md — Primary setup guide. Change examples to use --namespace on setup extension. Remove the separate namespace set + namespace migrate --yes steps. This page is the exact recipe that caused every contamination incident.

content/manual/how-to/giga-swamp/merge-repos.md — Both repos run setup extension without --namespace, then namespace set + namespace migrate. Update both to use --namespace.

content/manual/reference/datastore-configuration.md — Three changes:

Document --namespace <slug> as a flag on setup extension with description
Update setup extension examples to show the --namespace variant
Add note in namespace section that --namespace on setup is preferred for new shared datastores

content/manual/how-to/giga-swamp/add-namespace.md — Still valid for solo→namespace transition. Add note at the top: for new repos joining a shared datastore, use setup extension --namespace instead.

content/manual/explanation/giga-swamp.md — Check if it describes the setup flow. If so, update.

What NOT to change

The namespace set, namespace migrate, and namespace unset command documentation — those commands still exist and work for the solo→namespace transition. Just stop recommending them as the primary setup flow for new shared datastores.

Issue redactor corrupts reports: dotted code identifiers masked as hostnames, loopback and RFC 5737 documentation IPs masked, angle-bracket placeholders half-eaten

data prune resolves auto-definitions at the local path, not the datastore path — deletes live models' data (verified: destroyed a working server token and an active grant)

workflow/job-lifetime data is never reclaimed — expiry check requires an ownerDefinition.workflowId that step execution never sets

runModel breadth limit (MAX_INVOCATION_BREADTH=100) is never enforced — tracking object is never written back to the caller context; verified 150/150 calls succeeded

serve daemon enable is ungated — it reports success, then the account gate fires inside the detached daemon, which crash-loops invisibly

Purely local operations require a swamp-club account: local-token serve is gated while deprecated --auth-mode none is not, third-party OIDC is gated, and 'Local_Encryption' is paywalled by capitalization

A collective token stored in auth.json (rather than SWAMP_API_KEY) is permanently scope-less — resolution only runs for the env var, and scopes are never persisted for collective tokens

An empty stored apiKey counts as authenticated — saveIdentityCache writes apiKey:'' on a virgin machine, permanently satisfying the mandatory-account gate with no credential

Account/scope gates fire before argument, type and repo validation — 'swamp vault create env my-vault' (the command's own example, an invalid type) returns a paywall instead of 'Unknown vault type'

auth token create advertises a 'collective:write' scope that does not exist, and following its advice hits 'collective tokens cannot create other collective tokens'

requireScope does exact string matching — fine-grained scopes fail gates that demand the literal wildcard, and minted scopes are never validated or normalized

Collective-token scope cache never expires, is never refreshed by whoami, and cannot be cleared via the CLI — scope changes and revocations never take effect

Collective-token scope cache is keyed on a 12-char token prefix — only 2 chars distinguish org tokens, so a rotated token silently inherits another token's scopes

Misleading 'Your collective token lacks the X scope' when scope resolution failed — startup whoami errors are silently swallowed
