# Stale documentation (archived from `docs/` root)

**Last Updated:** 2026-04-01

One-time audits, validation snapshots, gap-analysis exports, and superseded plans from **2026-01** through **2026-04** lived at `docs/*.md` and cluttered navigation. They are **not** part of day-to-day workflows.

## What to use instead

| Need | Use |
|------|-----|
| Doc maintenance SSOT | [DOCUMENTATION_HYGIENE_LOG.md](../../../DOCUMENTATION_HYGIENE_LOG.md) |
| How to update docs | [DOCUMENTATION_MAINTENANCE_PROCESS.md](../../../DOCUMENTATION_MAINTENANCE_PROCESS.md) |
| Redundancy / overlap signals | [DOCUMENTATION_REDUNDANCY_REPORT.md](../../../DOCUMENTATION_REDUNDANCY_REPORT.md) (regenerate: `make docs-redundancy`) |
| File list | [DOCUMENTATION_INVENTORY.md](../../../DOCUMENTATION_INVENTORY.md) + `documentation-inventory.json` |
| Cursor rules checks | [RULE_VALIDATION_REPORT.md](../../../RULE_VALIDATION_REPORT.md) (`python3 scripts/documentation/validate-rules.py`) |
| “What’s missing” (historical narrative) | [DOCUMENTATION_GAPS.md](DOCUMENTATION_GAPS.md) in **this folder** (full text) |

## Contents

All `.md` files in this directory were moved from `docs/` root in one batch (2026-04-01). Filenames are unchanged so in-repo search and Git history stay intelligible.

Do **not** add new active documentation here; add under the appropriate `docs/guides/`, `docs/systems/`, or `docs/content/` tree, or archive completed work under `docs/archive/YYYY-…/` with its own README.
