Audited every *.md in docs/ and root. Merged five overlapping backend
docs (BACKEND_INTEGRATION.md + AUTHENTICATION.md + ERROR_CONTRACT.md +
MAINTENANCE_MODE.md + the already-archived BACKEND_API.md/
BACKEND_API_REMAINING_WORK.md) into one canonical docs/BACKEND.md
(4775 lines, 10 numbered sections) - deleted the four standalone
files outright now that their content is fully inlined.
Archived (not deleted - real historical value): ADMIN.md (Sprint
19-28 build log, sprint-report-shaped, not a living reference) and
FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md (despite its name, a shipped-history changelog
with detail no other doc has - not a forward roadmap, so keeping it
in root alongside NEXT_PHASE.md was exactly the "10 roadmaps"
confusion being cleaned up).
Deleted outright (zero value): SPRINTS.md - a leftover copy-pasted
sprint-kickoff prompt saved as a file, not documentation.
Rewrote docs/PROJECT_STATUS.md with completion-percentage estimates
per area (frontend/backend/UI/admin/storefront) and an explicit
first-customer-readiness call. Rewrote docs/NEXT_PHASE.md to the
strict 5-phase structure (backend integration -> production testing
-> performance -> monitoring -> v2 ideas), pointing to PRODUCT_BACKLOG
.md/FUTURE_FEATURES.md for phase 5 detail instead of duplicating it.
Rewrote root README.md - was stale (referenced deleted pages/info,
pages/legal folders from a prior RC pass), now covers architecture,
frontend/backend status, how to run, mock<->API switch mechanism
(useMockData in environment.ts), current folder structure, and a
documentation map.
Updated docs/PROJECT_INDEX.md (the stated entry point) to link only
the surviving doc set - every remaining document is reachable from it.
Fixed every broken/stale cross-reference to the deleted/renamed
backend docs across ARCHITECTURE.md, EDITOR.md, FRONTEND.md,
PROJECT-STRUCTURE.md, StaticPages.md, KNOWN-ISSUES.md (10 individual
link fixes, verified by repo-wide grep before and after). Left
CHANGELOG.md's two historical entries untouched - changelogs are
append-only history, not live navigation, editing past entries would
misrepresent what was true at the time.
Not touched (explicitly out of scope): docs/architecture/foundation/**
(enforced ADRs/governance, permanent not sprint-shaped),
docs/context/** (Barry Cache infrastructure, "do not edit by hand"
per CLAUDE.md), .claude/worktrees/** (separate git worktrees
containing an unrelated project's docs, not this repo's documentation).
docs/ root: 22 files -> 16. Plus 5 in docs/archive/ (was 3).
Classified every TODO.md item into one of DONE/BACKEND/PRODUCT
DECISION/FUTURE VERSION/BUG, verified against source, not against
prior docs:
- BACKEND items (bootstrap content, builder draft/publish, 6 admin
CRUD domains, media pipeline) confirmed already covered by
BACKEND_INTEGRATION.md; appended a mapping appendix rather than
duplicating raw bullets. Fixed 22 stale internal BACKEND_API.md
cross-references left over from before that file was archived.
- PRODUCT DECISION items (dark mode, brand-color WCAG contrast,
stars.component token gap, footer Contacts content, advanced
analytics, payment providers) moved to new docs/PRODUCT_BACKLOG.md.
- FUTURE VERSION items (Angular 22, bundle splitting, cart-modal
composition cleanup, hero-spacing investigation) moved to new
docs/FUTURE_FEATURES.md.
- BUG: rewrote docs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md down to the one real, verified,
currently-reproducible frontend bug (Ed25519 admin-auth error codes
session-expired/invalid-signature are unreachable -
toAuthErrorShape() never reads a body error code, only maps HTTP
status, and no status ever produces those two codes - confirmed by
reading auth.service.ts + auth-error.model.ts). Condensed the
"Fixed" history instead of carrying full verbose repro text forward.
- DONE items removed outright (dead-code deletion, dashboard false
positive, RC-02 fixes, stale "dynamic-renderer unwired"/"178 missing
keys" claims already disproven by source).
docs/TODO.md rewritten to the exact "no blockers" template - nothing
left qualifies as a release blocker.
New docs/PROJECT_STATUS.md: honest per-area status (frontend/backend/
docs/auth/builder/storefront/admin), known limitations, and explicit
production/backend/demo readiness calls - including correcting an
initial draft's unpushed-commit count (53, not 10, per git log
origin/B2B..HEAD).
New docs/NEXT_PHASE.md: work that can only start once a real backend
exists (gateway swap-in, mock removal, dormant-auth activation, role
enforcement, integration/E2E tests, perf profiling, monitoring,
maintenance-mode UI).
docs/PROJECT_INDEX.md (the stated entry point) updated to link the new
doc set and stop pointing at the now-archived BACKEND_API.md/AUTH.md.
docs/FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md's "Known open items" replaced with pointers
to the new category-split docs instead of a duplicated mixed list.
Not swept: a handful of low-traffic docs (architecture ADRs,
FRONTEND.md, EDITOR.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, PROJECT-STRUCTURE.md,
StaticPages.md, ADMIN.md) still reference the old BACKEND_API.md/
AUTH.md filenames - noted as a known gap in PROJECT_STATUS.md rather
than touched blindly, since they're historical-context docs, not the
navigation entry point.
pages/category, pages/search, pages/item-detail, pages/info/**,
pages/legal/** (40+ files) were entirely unrouted dead code:
- category/:id, category/:id/items, search all redirect/route to
CatalogContainerComponent
- product/:id routes to ProductDetailsContainerComponent, not item-detail
- cmsContentRoutes (meant to route info/legal) is a literal empty array;
static/legal content is served by the CMS-driven :staticPath ->
StaticPageComponent route instead
dynamic-renderer/ is unrelated and stays - confirmed active, it's the
live homepage rendering pipeline (HomeComponent -> WebsiteRuntimeFacade
-> PageRendererService/PageResolverService -> DynamicPageLayoutComponent).
Updated docs/TODO.md, docs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md, docs/FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md,
docs/PROJECT_INDEX.md to reflect the resolution.
- docs/TODO.md: checklist of every open item from KNOWN-ISSUES.md/
FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md/BACKEND_API_REMAINING_WORK.md/ANGULAR22_PLAN.md,
re-verified against current repo state (git ahead count, package.json,
app.routes.ts) rather than copied blind. Backend items kept but
marked skipped per user request (doing together separately).
- Deleted docs/archive/ (19 files) now that every open finding was
confirmed already merged into KNOWN-ISSUES.md/FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md.
Full original text recoverable via git history
(git log --diff-filter=D -- docs/archive).
- Fixed the resulting dangling docs/archive/* references in
PROJECT_INDEX.md/KNOWN-ISSUES.md/FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md.
Verification: tsc --noEmit clean, npm run build green, 0 broken
markdown links across 49 files (checked programmatically). No
application code touched.

Step 1-2 (audit + plan): classified 35 project markdown files into
Core/Architecture/ADR/Temporary-audit/Sprint-report/Generated-review/
Duplicate/Obsolete/Historical. Agent-tooling files (.agents/skills/**,
.superpowers/**, docs/context/**, CLAUDE.md/GEMINI.md/AGENTS.md/
.github/copilot-instructions.md) explicitly out of scope — intentional
per-tool duplication, not documentation debt.
Step 3 (merge, no information lost):
- docs/PROJECT.md -> docs/PROJECT_INDEX.md, rewritten as the single
entry point: system overview, living-doc index, archive pointer,
current status, and a critical-finding callout up top.
- docs/backend/BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md -> docs/BACKEND_API.md,
docs/backend/REMAINING-BACKEND-WORK.md ->
docs/BACKEND_API_REMAINING_WORK.md (also folded in a legitimate
uncommitted status update that had been sitting unstaged all
session: categories marked DONE, order-creation endpoint noted done).
- RELEASE-NOTES.md merged into CHANGELOG.md (was a near-duplicate of
the same release content in friendlier prose), then deleted.
- KNOWN-ISSUES.md: added item 13 (see below) and item 14 (missing
canDeactivate on admin/products edit, from the archived PROJECT-STATE
audit, re-verified still true); added a correction note to Fixed
item 7.
- All cross-references to renamed/moved files fixed across every
kept doc (grep+sed pass, then verified with a link-existence check
across all 58 in-scope markdown files -> 0 broken links).
Step 4 (archive, nothing deleted without merging first): created
docs/archive/, moved 19 files there (3 root sprint reports, 1 platform
report, SPRINT-PLAN.md, and 14 one-off audit/review/report docs).
Added correction headers to the 3 archived docs whose conclusions were
affected by the finding below, rather than silently leaving them
misleading.
Step 5: docs/PROJECT_INDEX.md rewritten per the mission brief -
someone opening the repo should understand the whole system from it.
IMPORTANT FINDING (surfaced during this audit, not the mission's
primary goal but too significant to bury): pages/category/*,
pages/search/*, pages/item-detail/*, pages/info/**, pages/legal/**
(40+ files) are entirely unrouted dead code - app.routes.ts's
cmsContentRoutes is a literal empty array, and category/search/product
routes redirect to CatalogContainerComponent/
ProductDetailsContainerComponent, not these files. Confirmed against
app.routes.ts directly and cross-checked against FRONTEND.md's own
routing description. This means several fixes from earlier this cycle
(RC-Premium-01, RC STORE-01) and the dead-code cleanup sprint's
conclusion that these files were live were all wrong - documented as
KNOWN-ISSUES.md item 13, flagged at the top of PROJECT_INDEX.md, and
noted on the 3 archived docs whose conclusions it affects. No
application code was changed to fix this (out of scope per this
session's 'documentation only' constraint) - it needs a wire-it-up-or-
delete-it decision first.
Verification: tsc --noEmit clean, npm run build green, all markdown
links across 58 in-scope files resolve (checked programmatically).
No application/Angular/backend code modified.
