Archive Index — Confidence Engine
Archived means retained as historical evidence and excluded from normal context loading. It does not mean deleted, rejected or necessarily incorrect for its time.
All files below were moved from docs/ on 2026-08-06 by Experiment 29 to reduce the default reading burden while preserving full traceability.
Archived Files
| Original Path | Archive Path | What It Contains | Why Archived | When to Consult |
|---|---|---|---|---|
docs/v0.4-handoff.md (258 lines) |
docs/archive/v0.4-handoff.md |
Historical handoff document from the v0.4 transition; references CaseOrchestrator API. | Architecture has evolved since v0.4. Documented for reference only, not active guidance. | When tracing the origin of case-orchestration patterns or investigating historical API design decisions. (Also referenced in docs/orchestrator-contract.md.) |
docs/v0.4-route-status.md (25 lines) |
docs/archive/v0.4-route-status.md |
Historical route tracking for the v0.4 release cycle. | Current routes differ entirely from v0.4. Retained as a record of early routing assumptions. | When investigating why certain routing decisions were made in early versions. |
docs/v0.5-release-notes.md (58 lines) |
docs/archive/v0.5-release-notes.md |
Release notes documenting the state of v0.5. | Historical record only. Nothing active depends on this content. | When comparing v0.5 to later releases or verifying what was known at that release time. |
docs/v0.6-ambiguity-generalisation.md (40 lines) |
docs/archive/v0.6-ambiguity-generalisation.md |
v0.6 experiment on ambiguity generalisation. | Superseded by later reasoning architecture decisions from Experiments 15–25B. | When investigating the intellectual history of how the engine handles ambiguous inputs. |
docs/v0.7-observation-report.md (136 lines) |
docs/archive/v0.7-observation-report.md |
Experimental observation snapshot from v0.7 UX work. | Useful as a reference but not a current working document. UX work is paused. | When reviewing past UX observations that may inform future interface design decisions. |
Files Deliberately Not Archived
| Document | Why Left in Place |
|---|---|
docs/architectural-principles.md (306 lines) |
14 architectural principles derived from experiments; may be needed when re-engaging with reasoning architecture. Status: unclear how current it is — review before use but do not archive yet. |
docs/backlog info.md (390 lines) |
Mock fixture backlog useful if resuming UI development. Status: verify content is current before archiving. |
Usage
Load these files only when a specific experiment, version history, or past decision requires them. Use this index to locate archived material — do not read the archive directory by default.
