  • Add a structured Protocol section (6 pages) covering IPC's requirements, core mechanisms, architecture, workflows, and security model — replacing scattered concept pages with a cohesive narrative.
  • Rewrite How IPC Compares with a systematic comparison across scaling approaches (rollups, sidechains, appchain frameworks), key dimensions, and explicit design trade-offs.
  • Rewrite the Introduction to focus on IPC's design properties and link to the new protocol section.
  • Add a Glossary to the reference section.
  • Restructure the table of contents: consolidate User/Developer Guides, remove superseded Concepts and overview pages, title-case entries.

Note

Medium Risk
Mostly documentation-only, but the TOC restructure and deletion of legacy concept/overview pages can leave stale internal links (e.g., existing references into removed concepts/ and overview/architecture.md).

Overview
Rewrites the GitBook landing page to emphasize IPC’s core properties and adds a clear “Documentation overview” pointing readers into the new protocol docs.

Introduces a new Protocol section (overview, requirements/guarantees, core mechanisms, architecture, workflows, security/economics) and substantially rewrites How IPC Compares into a structured comparison across scaling approaches, key dimensions, and explicit trade-offs.

Restructures navigation in SUMMARY.md (new top-level Protocol/Getting Started/Guides/Reference groupings, title-cased entries) and removes several superseded pages under concepts/ and older overview pages, while adding a new reference/glossary.md.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 10ef8c3. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

Cover the IPC protocol across six pages: overview, requirements
and guarantees, core mechanisms, architecture, workflows, and
security and economics.
Rewrite how-ipc-compares with a structured comparison across
scaling approaches, key dimensions, and design trade-offs.
Minor edits to use-cases (wording, formatting, title case).
Replace marketing-oriented intro with concise framing of IPC's
design properties and a documentation overview linking to the
new protocol section.
Add Protocol section and Glossary entry to SUMMARY. Remove old
Concepts section, How-It-Works, and Architecture pages whose
content is now covered by the protocol docs. Consolidate
User/Developer Guides into a single Guides section. Title-case
navigation entries.
