julian 355026dcf7 Remove UHPPOTE/ZKTeco; Dingtian is the only access driver
Neither UHPPOTE nor ZKTeco is used — the Dingtian relay controller was chosen
and verified. Remove their code and re-scope the wiki.

Code:
- delete access-uhppote.ts, uhppoted.d.ts, access.ts (zkteco/esp32-relay stubs),
  and the three uhppote-*.mjs hardware test scripts.
- remove the `uhppoted` npm dependency from @parking/devices and @parking/server.
- unregister uhppote/zkteco/esp32-relay from the driver registry; drop their
  exports. Catalog access drivers = dingtian only. Build green (5/5).
- refresh now-stale example comments (registry/interfaces/setup/api) to use
  current examples; keep the two "UHPPOTE blocker" references that explain why
  the precondition capability exists.

Wiki (kept pages, re-scoped):
- uhppote-controller, zkteco-controller -> rejected/historical with callouts;
  uhppote-vs-esp32 -> historical (detection-vs-prevention lens still useful).
- re-point all "current device" framing (standing-decisions, bom, overview,
  open-questions, device-registry, device-discovery, index) to dingtian-relay.
- transferable concepts (network-isolation, event-log-ingestion, barrier-not-a-
  door, threat-model) untouched. Raw source immutable. Links lint clean.

# Parking System — Overview
The synthesis / entry point for this wiki. Start here, then follow links. Catalog of every page:
[[index]]. Source summaries: [[parking-system-architecture]].
## What it is
A **parking-management web application** running on a **dedicated, hardened Linux appliance**
deployed on-site at a parking facility. Two forces shape nearly every decision:
1. **[[offline-first]]** — a park may be air-gapped; nothing core may depend on a network.
2. **[[threat-model]]** — the primary adversary is the **legitimate operator at the booth**, not
an outsider. The classic fraud is *take the cash, delete the record.*
## The architecture in one pass
- **Stack** ([[technology-stack]] / [[standing-decisions]]): [[turborepo]] · [[fastify]] ·
[[react-vite-spa]] · [[sqlite]] + [[drizzle-orm]] · [[local-jwt-auth]] — all open-licensed to
avoid lock-in (cf. rejected [[payload-cms]], [[refine]], [[logto-zitadel-oidc]]).
- **Integrity** is the heart of it: an [[append-only-event-chain]] (hash-chained, [[atecc608]]-
signed) plus external [[reconciliation]] — *that's* what remote sync really is. Encryption at
rest ([[disk-os-hardening]]) defends a secondary threat.
- **Devices** sit behind a [[device-adapter-pattern]] (swap hardware → new adapter only), with
the [[barrier-not-a-door]] safety principle keeping physical safety in barrier-operator firmware.
- **Access control** today is the **[[dingtian-relay]]** relay+input controller behind
[[network-isolation]] — chosen because its inputs are **decoupled from its relays**, enabling
host-in-the-loop ticket-first entry (resolving [[access-controller-button-flow]]). The
[[uhppote-controller]] and [[zkteco-controller]] were evaluated and **rejected** (historical).
The deeper fork is still the [[trust-boundary]] ([[uhppote-vs-esp32|detection vs. prevention]]);
the [[esp32-custom-controller]] remains the prevention-grade alternative.
- **Readers** split two ways ([[entry-exit-readers]]): permit holders via [[wiegand]]
(autonomous), casual/transient via host-side [[lpr-camera]] / QR; both can share a relay.
- A reference [[bom]] lists recommended devices.
## Where it stands
6 [[open-questions]] still drive procurement — most critically **lane topology**, **failure
modes (fail-open on exit)**, the **reconciliation channel**, and **backup/durability**.
## Reading paths
- *Security-first:* [[threat-model]] → [[append-only-event-chain]] → [[reconciliation]] →
[[uhppote-vs-esp32]].
- *Hardware-first:* [[bom]] → [[dingtian-relay]] → [[access-controller-button-flow]] →
[[entry-exit-readers]].
- *Stack-first:* [[technology-stack]] → [[offline-first]] → [[device-adapter-pattern]].
