History Archive

This is the map of docs/history/ — the workspace's provenance archive.

Provenance only

Everything under docs/history/ is retained for history: closed item records, dated reviews and audits, superseded plans, abandoned ideas, and old ledgers. It does not determine current status. Current truth lives in docs/active/; see the Documentation Policy for how document role is decided by path. For the retired stale experimental branch specifically, see Historical References.

Archive Sections

Section Contents
items/ Closed item records (DONE, PASSED, WONT_DO) — 253 files: 132 BUG, 48 FEAT, 40 CI, 30 REF, 2 AMUT, 1 ARR. Stable item-ID filenames; IDs are never reused.
reviews/ 19 dated review reports (2026-04 → 2026-05) plus the mods/eMuleAI scan, kept after they stopped driving active execution.
release-0.7.3/ Superseded 0.7.3 execution plans, gate history, community-parity audit, proof-evidence log, and 8 dated beta-readiness audits in release-0.7.3/audits/.
audits/ 13 standalone audit snapshots covering bugs, code quality, code review, dead code, defects, Kad, security, C++ safety, architecture, and REST custom code.
features/ 6 historical feature analyses (peer-ban engines, media thumbnails, and related capability studies).
dependencies/ 2 dependency-removal records (DLL and source-tree disposition).
ideas/ 4 abandoned exploratory proposals: Boost/POCO, CMake/Ninja/vcpkg, the 2026 modernization roadmap, and the MFC restructure guidance.
guides/ 4 superseded product-guide snapshots (Diagnostics, Setup, Tools Menu, Troubleshooting). Current copies live in reference/.
rest/ 1 historical REST plan (HIST-PLAN-API-SERVER). The current contract lives under docs/rest/.

Ledgers And Roll-Ups

These top-level history files are cross-cutting ledgers rather than single records:

Document Purpose
Backlog History Compact historical reference for the active backlog (not the live status source).
Backlog Dependency Graph Implementation-ordering hints across backlog items; not a release plan.
Backlog Source Salvage Where major historical source documents fed the active backlog.
History Changelog Code-review trail across the community lineage (v0.60d → v0.70b → v0.72a).
0.70b vs 0.72a Comparison Detailed community-build comparison report (2026-03-29).
Refactor & Task Roadmap Historical refactor roadmap from the v0.72a-broadband-dev line.
Session Resume (2026-05-12) A dated session-termination handoff snapshot.

One current-work exception

CI-010 Warning Cleanup Progress Log lives here for convenience but tracks the active item CI-010 (IN_PROGRESS). It is the only file in this archive that follows current work rather than closed history.
