docs: remove the documents MESHBAY_DESIGN.md replaces

2026-09-10T22:19:06Z

Twenty-four files, about 17 000 lines: the two architecture drafts, the three security reviews, eleven design notes, the roadmap, the decisions file, the v1–v4 archive, the deprecated user guide and the stale quickstart. Their content is in MESHBAY_DESIGN.md, and git history holds the originals. The reason to delete rather than keep bannered: a document that is superseded but present still gets read, and a reader cannot always tell which of two accounts of one mechanism is the live one. That was the argument for retiring the user guide rather than repairing it, and it applies to the whole set. What made this safe is the concordance. Roughly 290 comments and docstrings cite these files by section — `musicbay.md §6`, `mediacenter.md §5.5`, `draft-v6 §2.11` — and section 16 maps every one onto its replacement, so not a single comment needs editing to stay followable. It now says plainly that the files are gone and where to recover them, and it gained rows for the three reviews (their findings are section 13), and for the two guides. Four kept documents pointed into the set and were repointed first: `playlists.md` (nine references — it is a live proposal and must not dangle), `WINDOWS-PORT.md`, and CLAUDE.md's example. No dangling reference remains outside section 16. Two files were dropped from the list after checking what they hold. `HTTPS.md` is an operational runbook — Caddy, certificate renewal, DNS, troubleshooting — and MESHBAY_DESIGN.md deliberately covers no operations, so nothing would replace it; the versioned Caddyfile is the config, not the procedure. `cast-smart-tv.md` is the plan for the unbuilt DLNA phase of a feature whose first two phases ship, and section 11.4 summarises it in four lines rather than carrying the SSDP/UPnP work. There is no user guide now, and section 0.1 says so rather than leaving a reader to discover it. Suites green: 2258 passed, 4 skipped.

docs: point the superseded drafts at the design document

2026-09-10T16:45:03Z

Twenty-three documents that MESHBAY_DESIGN.md absorbs gain a header saying so and naming the sections their content went to. None is deleted: code comments, tests and the documents themselves cite their sections and their labels, and each records reasoning a synthesis compresses. The header states the precedence, because two documents describing one system will disagree eventually: where a draft disagrees with MESHBAY_DESIGN.md the design document is right, and where either disagrees with the code the code is. Seven status lines were corrected on the way through, all of them claiming less than the truth. Videos, Music, Photos, partial-read hashing and account recovery were headed "proposal, not implemented" months after they shipped; the desktop client said "nothing here is implemented" with stages A through D running; draft v6 still called itself the current specification.

docs: move root docs into docs/ and archive superseded drafts

2026-09-01T14:05:16Z

Move the remaining root-level .md files (except CLAUDE.md) into docs/: devel-phases.md, devel-phases-next.md, first-review.md, second-review.md, tmp-decisions.md. Update all inbound references in CLAUDE.md (now docs/-prefixed) and strip the now-redundant docs/ prefix from links inside the moved files. Consolidate the superseded material into docs/old-draft.md: architecture drafts v1-v4, POC v1, and the Phase 1-12 development log, each under an ARCHIVED banner with a preamble pointing at the current specs. Delete the merged originals plus the unreferenced French translations (v1-fr, v2-fr, poc-v1-fr). Repoint the surviving file-links in first-review.md, second-review.md and meshbay-draft-v5.md at old-draft.md; prose "draft-v3 §x" mentions are left as-is since the content now lives in the archive.
