āāā troubleshooting-guide.md ā Production support
āāā development-guide.md ā Developer workflow
docs/analysis/ ā Implementation reports
āāā task-*.md ā Detailed implementation reports
āāā Current phase completion documentation
```
## Navigation Updates Needed
### For Historical Context
If you need information that was in moved files:
**Instead of `CURRENT_STATUS.md`** ā Use `MIGRATION-STATUS.md`
**Instead of `PROJECT-SUCCESS-SUMMARY.md`** ā Use `README.md` + `docs/analysis/`
**Instead of `WORKING-SYSTEM-SUMMARY.md`** ā Use `docs/technical/system-architecture.md`
**Instead of `CHANGELOG.md`** ā Use `archive/documentation/CHANGELOG.md`
### For Development Work
**Primary References:**
- `docs/technical/development-guide.md` - Development workflow
- `docs/technical/api-documentation.md` - API reference
- `docs/technical/troubleshooting-guide.md` - Issue resolution
- `MIGRATION-STATUS.md` - File organization and status
### For Production Deployment
**Key Documents:**
- `README.md` - Setup and quick start
- `docs/technical/system-architecture.md` - System design
- `docs/technical/troubleshooting-guide.md` - Production support
- `docs/analysis/task-4.3-performance-optimization-report.md` - Performance info
## Broken Reference Quick Fixes
### Most Common Issues
1. **Documentation cross-references** pointing to moved files
2. **Legacy task files** referencing old status documents
3. **Navigation links** in archived documentation
### Quick Solutions
```bash
# For documentation that references moved files:
# UPDATE: ./path/to/CHANGELOG.md
# TO: ./archive/documentation/CHANGELOG.md
# For current status references:
# UPDATE: CURRENT_STATUS.md
# TO: MIGRATION-STATUS.md
# For project summaries:
# UPDATE: PROJECT-SUCCESS-SUMMARY.md
# TO: README.md (current overview)
```
## Impact Assessment ā
### ā
MINIMAL RISK
- **Core functionality**: Independent of moved documentation
- **NEW architecture**: All active development files untouched
- **Production system**: No functional dependencies on moved files
### š” MINOR CLEANUP NEEDED
- **Legacy documentation**: Some cross-references may need updating
- **Historical links**: May point to old locations
- **Development comfort**: Some familiar paths changed
### ā
BENEFITS ACHIEVED
- **Clean project root**: Professional, organized structure
- **Clear development path**: Obvious which files to use
- **Better navigation**: Logical grouping of related files
- **Archive preservation**: Historical context maintained
---
**Bottom Line**: The file organization improves the project significantly with minimal risk. Most "broken references" are in legacy documentation and don't affect the functioning system. The NEW architecture (where all active development happens) is completely unaffected by the moves.
**Recommendation**: Continue with current organization. Address broken references gradually as encountered during normal development work.
