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 Signed-off-by: Chronicler #45 <claude@firefrostgaming.com>
