This directory is the canonical documentation entrypoint for Taskdeck.
Root docs/ is reserved for living documents that change regularly or are direct operator/contributor entrypoints.
Stable reference material belongs in topical subfolders.
STATUS.md- Current shipped reality, verified state, current focus, and active constraints.
IMPLEMENTATION_MASTERPLAN.md- Forward execution roadmap, horizons, release framing, and priority-labeled backlog map.
GOLDEN_PRINCIPLES.md- Stable repository invariants and decision rules.
ISSUE_EXECUTION_GUIDE.md- Dependency-aware issue order and execution protocol.
TaskdeckNextWorkChecklist.md- Lightweight promotion and wave-checklist companion to the masterplan and issue guide.
TESTING_GUIDE.md- Automated verification commands, current totals, smoke posture, and release-gate guidance.
MANUAL_TEST_CHECKLIST.md- Human verification checklist for product, security, and ops flows.
START_HERE.md- Audience-first first-entry product guide.
USER_MANUAL.md- Manual index for the shipped product shell and chapter map.
GITHUB_PROJECT_AUTOMATION.md- Canonical GitHub Project status, priority, and workflow rules.
MCP_TOOLING_GUIDE.md- Canonical MCP selection and fallback rules for agents.
LIVING_DOCUMENTS_GUIDE.md- Root-doc change map: what changes often, what to update, and in what order.

- Do not add new root docs by default.
- If a document is stable reference material rather than a living source of truth, put it in a topical folder.
- If a note is historical, archive it instead of leaving it at root.
- Every meaningful behavior or workflow change should update:
STATUS.mdIMPLEMENTATION_MASTERPLAN.mdISSUE_EXECUTION_GUIDE.mdwhen order or dependencies changeTESTING_GUIDE.mdorMANUAL_TEST_CHECKLIST.mdwhen verification changes
- Keep root
docs/readable at a glance; useLIVING_DOCUMENTS_GUIDE.mdbefore promoting new recurring docs into root.
