Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.
Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:
127 live docs = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
104 stamped here
19 held operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
3 held the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
1 untouched docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1
Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.
Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:
1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
(title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
`status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.
2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
(docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
itself. Raised in the worklist.
A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.
Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.

# DOCS-IA-001 — Documentation Information Architecture
|
|
|
|
- **Task:** DOCS-IA-001
|
|
- **Internal reference:** `TASKS:DOCS-IA-001`
|
|
- **Objective:** Codify the canonical `docs/` structure and authoring rules in `docs/README.md` before moving or rewriting existing documentation.
|
|
- **Scope:** README contract only; no document migration in this slice.
|
|
- **Approved design:** `docs/plans/2026-08-10-docs-information-architecture-design.md`
|
|
- **Implementation plan:** `docs/plans/2026-08-10-docs-structure-readme.md`
|
|
|
|
## Plan
|
|
|
|
1. Replace the starter `docs/README.md` with the approved target tree and placement policy.
|
|
2. Document source-of-truth, audience-book, artifact, migration, and Obsidian link rules.
|
|
3. Run focused formatting, whitespace, structure, link, and scope checks.
|
|
4. Commit only `docs/README.md`; preserve unrelated staged and untracked changes.
|
|
|
|
## Progress
|
|
|
|
- [x] Context inventory completed.
|
|
- [x] Design approved by user.
|
|
- [x] Design committed as `205cc0d`.
|
|
- [x] Implementation plan written.
|
|
- [x] Scratchpad created.
|
|
- [x] README updated.
|
|
- [x] Focused verification completed.
|
|
- [x] Scoped documentation commit created (`docs: codify documentation structure`).
|
|
|
|
## Tests and verification
|
|
|
|
| Check | Result |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Markdown formatting | PASS — `pnpm exec prettier --check docs/README.md docs/plans/2026-08-10-docs-structure-readme.md docs/scratchpads/DOCS-IA-001.md` |
|
|
| Whitespace validation | PASS — `git diff --no-index --check` for all new Markdown files |
|
|
| Required structure anchors | PASS — root controls, books, artifact directories, Obsidian, and retired `mosaic-stack` boundary found |
|
|
| README-only scope check | PASS — the scoped documentation commit contains only this task's README, plan, and scratchpad; unrelated changes remain outside the commit |
|
|
|
|
## Risks and blockers
|
|
|
|
- Existing documentation remains under `docs/_old_structure/`; this slice does not migrate it.
|
|
- Existing source/tests reference legacy paths such as `docs/fleet/` and `docs/federation/`; those references require a later migration slice.
|
|
- `docs/TASKS.md` has a single-writer orchestrator policy and is intentionally not modified here.
|
|
- `docs/GETTING_STARTED.md` is an unrelated pre-staged deletion and must remain outside this task commit.
|
|
- `docs/.obsidian/` is pre-existing untracked vault metadata and must not be modified or committed here.
|
|
|
|
## Final evidence
|
|
|
|
- `docs/README.md` now defines the complete target tree, placement matrix, source-of-truth policy, authoring workflow, migration policy, and Obsidian/Git link conventions.
|
|
- `pnpm exec prettier --check docs/README.md docs/plans/2026-08-10-docs-structure-readme.md docs/scratchpads/DOCS-IA-001.md` passed.
|
|
- `git diff HEAD^ HEAD --check` and the staged-index whitespace check passed.
|
|
- Focused structure and retired-boundary checks passed.
|
|
- All three relative Markdown links in the README resolve.
|
|
- The scoped documentation commit contains only the README, plan, and scratchpad.
|
|
- The pre-existing staged deletion of `docs/GETTING_STARTED.md`, modified `.mosaic/orchestrator/*` files, and untracked `docs/.obsidian/` metadata remain outside the documentation commit.
|
|
- Content migration, sitemap refresh, and legacy source/test path updates remain explicitly deferred to later slices.
