+# Design Evolution Archive — Tranche 1
+
+This directory contains exact historical extracts from
+`docs/design-evolution-log.md`.
+
+The original monolithic log remains intact and authoritative while the archive refactor is in progress.
+
+These files are historical provenance, not current product truth.
+
+For current product state use:
+- docs/current-handoff.md
+- docs/current-project-state.md
+

+
+## Refactor status
+
+Only tranche 1 has been extracted.
+
+Do not remove these ranges from `docs/design-evolution-log.md` yet.
+
+Do not update repository-wide references to point here yet.
+
+Further Design Evolution material must be extracted in separate bounded tranches and verified before the original monolith is replaced by a compatibility/index document.
