Reference: the wallet service in detail
| Chapter | Use it for |
|---|---|
| API contracts | the MCP and admin endpoints, request and response shapes, error codes |
| Data models | the SQLCipher schema and what each column holds |
Several of Arktos's other documents are deliberately not reproduced in the book. They remain available at the pinned revision:
| Document | Why it is not included |
|---|---|
docs/architecture.md | The lessons link to it often, but it overstates several properties relative to the code: "TLS required" (the server listens on plain HTTP), "all operations logged", "extended keys zeroized on drop", and a list of "supported compliance frameworks". The lessons themselves are accurate, so use them. |
docs/deployment-guide.md, docs/development-guide.md | Operational guides; some commands and ports are out of date. |
docs/customization-guide.md | Shows a non-BIP86 Bitcoin derivation path and examples that contradict lessons C6 and C7. |
docs/regional-compliance.md, docs/project-overview.md | Make legal and compliance claims that the implementation does not support. The book does not repeat them. |
Arktos is a reference architecture for learning. Nothing in this part should be read as a claim of production readiness, regulatory compliance or suitability for custody of real funds.
