Area: mobieusMarket / BBS (audit p3) · Surface: GET /bbs-directory (BbsListingController@index), GET /bbs/{slug}/connect (BbsListingController@connect), POST /bbs-directory/submit, POST /bbs-directory/connect-token, POST /bbs-directory/favorite, POST /bbs-directory/report-down · Dimension: documentation · Severity: major
The BBS Directory is a complete, shipped user-facing surface: a public directory of telnet/SSH bulletin board systems, a per-listing in-browser terminal connect flow, plus user actions to submit a BBS, favorite, and report-down. By contrast, the sibling features in this area are documented (Marketplace -> /know/marketplace; Collections -> /know/bookmarks-and-collections). The BBS feature is the one user-facing feature in mobieusMarket/BBS with zero mobieusKnow coverage, violating Law 7 (every user-facing feature must be documented). End users have no guidance on how to submit a BBS, what the connect/terminal launchpad does, or how favorites/report-down work.
Evidence
The feature is real, shipped, and public. Live: `curl -L https://dev.mobieus.io/bbs-directory` -> HTTP 200. Code: platform/src/Services/Features.php:141 declares `terminal_emulator_connections` — "Public BBS directory + per-listing connect flow (telnet/SSH terminal launchpad). Disabling hides /bbs-directory and the /admin/bbs-listings catalog." BbsListingController.php has public user actions: index (line 22), connect (641), connectToken (674), toggleFavorite (471), reportDown (504); BbsDirectoryController@submit lets users submit a BBS. But mobieusKnow has NO article: `curl -L https://support.mobieus.io/know/index` (78KB, 70+ article links) contains ZERO matches for bbs/terminal/telnet/directory/bulletin (grep returns empty). Wiki search returns nothing: `curl -L 'https://support.mobieus.io/know/search?q=bbs'` and `?q=terminal` both render "No results". Every plausible slug 404s: /know/bbs, /know/bbs-directory, /know/terminal, /know/terminal-connections, /know/bulletin-board-systems, /know/bbses all return HTTP 404. No adjacent article (mobieus-products, marketplace, file-exchange) mentions BBS either.
Suggested fix. Add a /know/bbs-directory (or /know/terminal-connections) mobieusKnow article covering: browsing the directory, submitting a BBS for review, the in-browser terminal connect flow (telnet/SSH), favoriting, and report-down/community moderation. Add it to the wiki index and ensure search returns it. Note the feature is gated by the terminal_emulator_connections flag so scope copy to tenants where it is enabled.
Filed by the automated tenant-app audit and adversarially evidence-verified. Status: verified. Open — not yet actioned.
