Claude (Chronicler #45) 3de6e44a05 chore: root directory cleanup and .gitignore hardening 
WHAT WAS DONE:
- Moved 33 accumulated root-level .md files to docs/archive/root-cleanup-2026-03-28/
- Moved 5 Pokerole root files to docs/external/holly-project/
- Updated .gitignore to cover *.pem, *.key, .env, .DS_Store etc.
- Added explanatory README to the archive folder
- Root now contains only 7 essential files

WHY:
Full repository audit (first full clone) revealed root had accumulated
40 .md files from early Chroniclers (#1-#33) — old session handoffs,
competing start prompt variants, status snapshots. None deleted, all
preserved in archive. Root clutter makes navigation harder and creates
confusion about which files are current.

ROOT FILES KEPT:
- README.md, CHANGELOG.md, DOCUMENT-INDEX.md
- SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md, SESSION-HANDOFF-PREVIOUS.md
- SESSION-HANDOFF-PROTOCOL.md, SESSION-HANDOFF-TEMPLATE.md

.GITIGNORE ADDITIONS:
- *.pem, *.key, *.p12, *.pfx (intentionally NOT *.ppk yet)
- .env, .env.*, *.secret
- .DS_Store, Thumbs.db

NOTE: SSH key intentionally left per Michael's decision.

FILES MOVED: 38 files reorganized, 0 deleted

What We Learned

Infrastructure Insights

  1. Nginx reload matters: systemctl reload required for config changes
  2. Default home page needed: WikiJS expects /home to exist
  3. Database permissions critical: Schema access must be explicit
  4. GraphQL enabled by default: No config.yml changes needed

Migration Insights

  1. API automation saves massive time: 30min vs 3-4 days manual
  2. Consistent formatting requires preservation: Don't auto-format stats
  3. Move pools need generation: Can't migrate incomplete data
  4. Testing catches issues early: Validation prevented production bugs

Collaboration Insights

  1. Clear handoffs critical: Documentation enables smooth transitions
  2. Real-time communication valuable: Quick problem resolution
  3. Trust enables speed: Michael trusted team decisions
  4. Documentation pays off: All solutions preserved for future
