rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 776c89457e docs: the map, a fresh index, and a register of dead ideas and revised claims
docs/CLAUDE.md Phase 1 output, after the reorganisation.

- docs/README.md: rewritten as the map -- where each kind of document
  lives, which one to believe (CLAUDE.md, FABRIC, v4.0.0, reference/,
  BRINGUP, code), how to retire a document.
- docs/INDEX.md: regenerated from the tracked tree, 489 rows, every
  document with a status (the 2026-06-16 snapshot was stale).
- docs/DEAD-AND-REVISED.md (new): what was abandoned (L4Re, the hal_*
  contract, ACL RWT, the Hermes VM, elevation, the knowledge factor, ...)
  and what was corrected (ACL overhead, versions, block rules, parity
  baseline, ...), each with its date and record.
- docs/DELETE-CANDIDATES.md: 12 duplicates, awaiting a ruling; nothing
  deleted.
- CLAUDE.md: versions corrected (3.2.0 / 2.1.0).

docs/working/archive/

Historical, superseded, and obsolete records — kept for reference, not for current guidance. Each subdirectory carries a provenance comment noting its pre-reorg path and already has its own README.md.

Since the 2026-10-14 docs triage, three folders sort what is filed here by why it is no longer current; each file in them starts with a header saying what it is and where to look instead (and docs/DEAD-AND-REVISED.md keeps the register):

  • historical/ — finished work, accurate for its time: session plans, audits, fix write-ups, the birthing plan, the January architecture draft. Dated names.
  • superseded/ — replaced by something named in its header: the Hermes-VM Tripod docs and designs (now FABRIC-3.5/3.6), the StarForth-era roadmap, documents already flagged superseded or obsolete.
  • dead/ — ideas abandoned or never adopted: the hal_* target contract, L4Re, the metrics-and-knobs gap list.

The older folders, from the 2026-06-16 reorganisation:

  • legacy/ — The former top-level docs/archive/ tree, including phase-1/ peer-review submission material.
  • operations/ — The former docs/05-operations/: CI/CD, Jenkins pipeline, workflow, and backlog-gatekeeper docs.
  • quality/ — The former docs/04-quality/: audits, phase tracking, regression, and validation records.
  • research/ — The former docs/06-research/: literature review, research outline, DoE metrics schema, results-for-publication drafts.
  • session-logs/ — The former docs/07-session-logs/: dated development-session worklogs and recaps.
  • COMPUTATIONAL_PHYSICS_FRAMEWORK.md — HISTORICAL, contains out-of-scope claims superseded by docs/working/papers/ANTI_CLAIMS.md. Never copy from this file into docs/formal/ (see docs/formal/CLAUDE.md, "What NOT to do").
  • DOCUMENTATION_AUDIT.md, GAP_ANALYSIS.md — prior documentation-state audits.
  • artifacts/ — miscellaneous archived artifacts (e.g. kanban-workflow/).
  • prog-prove.pdf — archived reference PDF.
