ChatShare

ChatShare places Dufs inside ChatArch-owned paths and operational boundaries. The CLI owns trusted installation, configuration, service lifecycle, and local file publication; Dufs owns HTTP/WebDAV file serving.

Out of scope

ChatShare does not currently provide accounts, per-file capability links, expiry, download counts, per-file revocation, object storage, or multi-host orchestration. Dufs's direct-path model does not imply those semantics.
