docs: centralise on DESIGN and STATUS, band what they replace - #230
Merged
Conversation
Fifteen documents, ~7,500 lines, several describing the same thing at different dates and disagreeing about the current state. A reader had no way to tell which was true. Ten are banded as superseded rather than deleted: their reasoning and evidence are not reproduced anywhere, and this repository keeps the argument even when the conclusion changes. Each banner names what replaced it and says plainly that where the document and the code disagree, the code is right. COORDINATION-PLANE.md is banded carefully, because it is only half superseded: the typed work graph is built and moves to DESIGN.md, but the message ledger, rooms and oversight actor remain proposed and not built, and that document is still the only place they are specified. The README's index is rewritten around two documents and three groups: how to use it, the record, and what is superseded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
