# Archived standalone designs

> **Status:** Historical design records. These files moved byte-identically from migration quarantine on 2026-08-10 and are not current implementation or release contracts.

- [npm prerelease `@next` lane](prerelease-next-dist-tag-pipeline.md) — prior release-pipeline design; verify current CI and package scripts before use.
- [Storage and queue abstraction](storage-abstraction-middleware.md) — prior middleware/tier design. Current storage abstractions exist, but this record does not prove its complete target architecture or operational procedures.

Use current package source, manifests, tests, and canonical safety guidance for present behavior. The coupled #791 upgrade design and normative framework constitution remain in migration quarantine pending their owning workstreams.
