m038andClaude Opus 5 7c9c140a1b Merge main into feat/docs-reconcile; defer to main on two overlapping fixes
main advanced 13 commits while this documentation audit ran — the
location-override work was merged into the outer repo — and it independently
fixed two of the audit's findings. Without this merge the branch would have
REVERTED them, which is the worst outcome for a cleanup pass because it arrives
disguised as an improvement.

Both conflicts resolved in main's favour; main's wording was better informed:

- CLAUDE.md, the single-map-path rule: main's carve-out (829325c) states the
  exception as its own top-level bullet, names MAP_STYLE as the one shared
  thing, and spells out both prohibitions ("do not fold it into initEntryMap",
  "do not add a third path"). Taken verbatim over the version drafted here.
- 2026-07-23-post-form-location-override.md: main (a517331) had already set the
  status to Complete, with far richer detail — the multi-agent review findings,
  the green-run numbers, the DEL4 regression still open, and the merge SHAs.
  Taken in full; the audit's claim that the status "lagged" was dropped, since
  it was true only of this branch's older branch point.

Submodule pin: main bumped user/ to dd19995 and this merge preserves that. The
audit's own no-gitlink-commit discipline applies to bumping the pin as a side
effect of routine work, not to discarding a bump main already made.

main touched none of the other nine corrected documents, so the remaining 18
findings stand unchanged.

Audit notes corrected to match reality rather than left overstated:

- superseded-decisions.md R13 now dates the carve-out to 2026-07-24 (829325c)
  rather than implying this pass introduced it.
- The reconciliation spec gains an "audit baseline moved twice" section: the
  submodule pin lagged real HEAD, and then the base branch advanced mid-audit.
- The compounded learning's section 6 is rewritten from "audit the current
  state" to "re-check the baseline before publishing, not only before starting",
  with the two habits that actually follow: merge the base branch in before
  opening the PR and read conflicts as findings, and when the incoming version
  is better, take it wholesale. An audit has no special authority over the work
  it audits.

docs/working/ — work in flight

Everything here is a live working document: specs being built from, plans being executed, notes from sessions in progress. Once something is finished it stays (as a record) rather than being deleted — the **Status:** line is how you tell the difference.

Stable facts belong in ../reference/; how-to procedures in ../guides/; write-ups of bugs already solved in ../solutions/.

⚠️ Everything here is written in the past tense, even when it reads present-tense. A completed plan describes the code as it was when the plan landed — that is what makes it a useful record, and it is not a defect when it no longer matches. Several documents here describe features that were later deliberately reversed: there is no /map page, no /stats page, no /tracker, no Leaflet, no light theme, and no hero_image on entries.

Before re-creating anything you find in this folder, check ../reference/superseded-decisions.md. Superseded sections also carry an inline > **Superseded …** note pointing there. For the site as it is, read ../reference/architecture.md.


What's in here

Path Contents
specs/ Design docs — the what and why, written before a plan. Named YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-design.md
plans/ Implementation plans — the ordered how, with a status line. Named YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md
milestones/ Milestone scope documents (milestone-1.md … )
qa/ Test plans, QA results, readiness audits
handovers/ Session handover notes — context for picking up unfinished work
learnings/ Retrospective notes worth keeping but not yet promoted to ../solutions/
backlog.md Unscheduled ideas and wishes
bugs-and-fixes.md Running log of bugs found and what fixed them
summary.md Historical wrap-up of the original four-milestone branch (2026-06-21). Not the current state — for that read ../reference/architecture.md
pm-analysis.md, git-sync-notes.md, dated one-offs Standalone notes, kept for reference

Plan status convention

Every plan in plans/ carries a **Status:** line immediately after its title heading. This is the single place a plan's state is recorded — there is no separate tracker.

Status Meaning
📋 Not started Plan written and reviewed; no work begun yet
🔄 In progress — <note> Actively being worked on. The note says where it stopped, so anyone (or any session) can resume
⏸️ Deferred — <reason> Intentionally postponed. Still valid, just not now — the reason matters more than the status
✅ Complete (YYYY-MM-DD) Done and shipped. The date is when it landed, not when the plan was written
❌ Abandoned — <reason> Won't be implemented. Kept so the decision (and its reasoning) is not re-litigated later

Notes on using it:

  • A trailing note after ✅ Complete is normal and encouraged for anything non-trivial — what actually shipped, what was deferred, which commit or environment it landed in. Several plans here carry a paragraph.
  • Deferred is not Abandoned. Deferred means "still want this"; abandoned means "decided against it". Keeping them distinct is the whole point of having both.
  • Update the status when the work lands, not later. A plan whose status lags reality is worse than no plan, because it is trusted.

Asking Claude what's open

Claude reads these statuses directly (the convention is also in ../../CLAUDE.md, so it applies without being asked). When asked what's open it will surface Not started and In progress, show Deferred items with the label made explicit, and leave out Complete and Abandoned unless you ask for them. It sets the status to ✅ Complete (YYYY-MM-DD) on finishing a plan.

A quick manual sweep of the same thing:

grep -rH '^\*\*Status:\*\*' docs/working/plans/ | grep -v 'Complete\|Abandoned'
