Complete Phase 1 documentation and Phase 2 kickoff materials

[Copilot]

Phase 1 completion and retrospective docs existed but lacked unified project roadmap and Phase 2 planning materials.

Added

ACAT_MODERNIZATION_PLAN.md (717 lines)

• Multi-phase roadmap with Phase 1 metrics (3,891 log calls converted, 72 tests, <2% overhead)
• Phase 2 detailed plan: 12 tickets, 6-8 weeks, DI infrastructure
• Phase 3/4 outlines: Async/await patterns, UI modernization
• Architecture decisions and governance model

PHASE_2_KICKOFF_DECK.md (989 lines)

• 28-slide stakeholder presentation
• Technical approach: Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection, service interfaces, constructor injection
• Timeline: 4 milestones, team structure, risk mitigation
• Quality strategy: testing pyramid, performance targets (<5% overhead)

DOCUMENTATION_NAVIGATION.md

• Role-based navigation (PM, Developer, Architect, Stakeholder)
• Common questions mapped to documents

PHASE_1_ISSUE_12_COMPLETION.md

• Deliverables checklist and success criteria validation

Updated

README.md - Added modernization documentation section
INDEX.md - Referenced new docs, updated file summary

Context

Phase 1 (logging + JSON config) complete. Phase 2 scope: extract service interfaces (IActuatorManager, IThemeManager, IConfigurationService, etc.), implement DI throughout, maintain backward compatibility via adapter pattern.
